Anyone know this car or looked at it before

Anyone know this car ? All comes back ok on carverticle vehicle check but the seller is sketchy with his answers on the phone.
Going to view it today but full service history is once every 2 years if your lucky and sometimes 30k miles between them that can be proved.

Any tips would be great. [/img]

If in any doubt, walk away....

Also it's colour is not a popular choice so could be hard to sell....

Good luck.. Thumbs Up Pete

Cheers Pete. I think if it was more than the 40 min journey to view it I would of changed my mind but I’m interested to see if it’s just me having a suspicious mind.

Could be a good car so it’s always worth a look !

Yep, may as well look if it's that far away... If you like it get a health check done on it at a dealer or specialist... Thumbs Up Pete

Looked at the car and the interior was perfect, no scuffs or signs of wear at all. Outside looked like an old dog that had not been touched for years other than a 5 minute job with a mop as it still had compound splatter over it. Upper tailgate was rotten all the way across and a mixture of budget tyres all of which were on the legal limit.

Up for £13500 and I wouldn't of given £9k for it. The whole thing stunk of trader trying to pass it off as a private sale.

Looking at the MOT history for this car tells a tale. It always amazes me how many people go for test and either fail or get advisories on tyres being close to or below the legal limit. Five times for this vehicle would put me off as I’d wonder what other issues had been ignored. You do right to walk away in my opinion Thumbs Up 2017 Jaguar F Pace 25t Portfolio - still part of the JLR family 😀

Apart from the interior which was perfect I think the car had been run a shoestring budget from new by the massive gaps in servicing.
Looked great in the video he sent me but a dog in the flesh !

Oh well will just keep looking till the right one comes up.

England 2018 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Corris Grey

ive been looking off and on for five years or so and enjoyed looking at cars (at dealers) even though I wasn't in a position to buy so that it gave me a good feel for a good one or a bad one quite quickly. When ended up buying the one I am in, it was relatively straightforward to determine it was a decent one. Got to see a few dogs to tell the difference. First time FFRR owner

Over the last few years I've had 3 sports but the oldest one was only 5 years old when purchased. I'm lucky in the fact I know what to look for but never looked at 12 year old Range Rovers before and if I didn't know better, what I saw today would of been enough to put me off buying one if that's what they look like at that age.

It’s always best to have a look on here to see if a member is selling his car, that way you'll know at the very least some of its gremlins but also that it’s been owned by an enthusiast.

Here’s one, not sure if it’s still for sale and might be a bit of a ride out but could be well worth it.

Surrey is only up the road for me, thanks for the heads up on this one but I'm after a Autobiography or high speced Westminster. I'm in no rush and am happy to wait for the right car as it would be a second car
