    annual costs 110 SW vs HiLux and FBT

    Hello all,
    First time posting here, a very well organised and educational forum.
    My question is: how does a 110 SW compare to a Hilux or Ranger or related vehicles in the annual cost departement? I would like to prove to my employer that a 110 SW is cost-neutral compared to a HiLux. The capped price servicing will be the killer, I presume? I know which one I would rather drive and take camping....Funnily enough, when you look at novated leases, the Hilux, Ranger, 110 SW and Amarok are all very comparable, but I start to suspect the annual depreciation of a LR is lower than the others, but the servicing costs higher, giving the same monthly cost over say 3 years? Can someone shine a light on this for me? Thanks and best regards, PJN.

    When I purchased my 110 SW about 2 years ago, LR were doing a great 'Corporate Package' if you worked for a larger company. The result was a larger purchase discount and free servicing every 10,000kms for the first 3 years. I have read that the free servicing is not meant to include consumables, however I have not paid a cent for servicing yet.

    I understand they have changed some of the conditions slightly, but this still might get you over the line with the boss.

    Both my brother and my cousin own toyotas new troopy and a 100 series. And I can't believe the cost of genuine Toyota parts. I know there's more aftermarket for Toyota but when comparing genuine parts land rover definitely come out on top. And to their ( and mine) surprise they've had some pretty exy repairs recently.. And in saying that I imagine being ford motored would be similar to a ranger anyway?
