Stop me, please!

[p38arover]

Ivery819 is selling his 45,000km TDV6 Java black RRS for what he's been offered as a trade (did you see it at the Expo?).

I want it.

My wife says I can have it.

Please say "No!"

I've never owned a reliable car in 45 years of driving and I don't need another unreliable one (it's reliable for Peter but knowing my luck....... :().

:D

[andrew e]

(it's reliable for Peter but knowing my luck....... :().

:D

Remember this Ron.


Also, can i have your car for its trade in price, just to pass on the happiness. I promise i will look after it......:D

[V8Landy]

Just go for it Ron. If you buy a reliable car it will also be boring:p:p:p

[abaddonxi]

Does your P38 have seven seats?

Maybe the curse will be broken if you don't sign the papers.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

just shut up and do it!


we all know you will:p

[Chucaro]

Mate, we live only once and you have done your fair share of work.
Get it even if you have to moove to the shed !! :)

[WhiteD3]

You've already decided Ron and just want us to back you up. Go for it:D

[Psimpson7]

yep go for it!!:)

[big guy]

Go for it, have a blast.

[Narangga]

I would love it but don't have the money to stop you so like your wife I won't!

Do it and enjoy. :)

[Disco_owner]

Go for it Ron , you only live once.;)

[Shonky]

Get on with it!

(in chorus) "Yes - Get on with it!"

[wovenrovings]

I have seen been in this car it is beautiful.

Go for it. Don't know how you wife you resist, she obviously hasn't been in it.

[The ho har's]

Buy it Ron


wish ho har was like your wife...I was eyeing a nice RRC with duel fuel and he said "NO you can not have it":mad::(


Mrs ho har:angel:

[dobbo]

Ron wlll always find a problem, any problem. He is an obsessive pedantic. (if there is a syndrome)




He'll have to fix the typo above, if he doesn't it will eat his soul away.

Should Ron buy an RRS? Yes.

[Sleepy]

Get it, Get it, Get it, Get it, Get it, Get it, Get it!

After talking it over with my wife, I've decided against it, as much as I'd love one. She isn't against me having it. I am.

I'm looking to retire in the next 6 months so spending $57k on a car - especially a Rangie - is not a good idea.

I wouldn't be able to afford the servicing costs, let alone the repairs and depreciation. I can't write it off as a business expense.

$57k is under the Luxury Car Tax so the business expense is not much of an issue other than servicing costs and loan repayments (if you go that path).

Buy the RRS... sell the house and buy a cheaper one down here near Canberra so you can help me keep my P38A running ;)

I may be in the market for an RRS after Christmas as well... it will be 12 months since I bought this P38A and it's CHP loan (business/tax deduction) will be paid out so I may be looking for a newer addition to the "fleet". That should give you enough time to become as proficient on the RRS as you are on the P38A :D

... but if you have decided to not go down the RRS path, that is a loss to the RRS owners on this site.

Best wishes, Paul.

The usual response to that would be that they (retirement and a Rangie) are interdependent rather than mutually exclusive.

However I understand where you are coming from. Given those circumstances would probably be my decision too.

[Chucaro]

I agree with you in that case with $57000 you can have your RR very well set up and do the "Mother of all Trips" ;)
I am retired and think that my $ 15000 Defe is as good as a new vehicle to tour in Oz at my pleassure.

[andrew e]

Admit it, you didnt want to change your name. L320rover doesnt have the same ring.:D

What about RRRon? (say it with a Scottish accent. :) )

I work for the gummint so I can't claim any business expenses.

Move to Canberra? Hmm, not a bad idea.

You had to bring logic and common sense into it.:mad::p

[adm333]

As we all know, the Range Rover in any guise depreciates at a phenominal rate.

My view would be that at 57K it still has a long way to go.

If you want to upgrade, I'd be looking in the mid forties - there are some very decent L322 specimens in that range.

People voluntarily move there? :eek::eek::eek:


I thought it was a form of corporal punishment

more like "Capital" punishment :D huh, get it?;) ok, I'll get back in me hole now... I'm already here... another beautiful day in the Nation's Capitol - grey skies, a bit of rain and a top of 15degC.

[p38arover]

I like Canberra in many ways. I could live there except it gets a tad cool in winter.
