Why so many Evoques for sale?

This to me is mind boggling.

Sounds similar to some brands of US tractors with diagnostics.
DL

sure, the original mini wsa (is) a blast.

The right to repair cases are brought about by those tractors, John Deere mostly has those kinds of tactics.

Back to the Op's question, I think I heard a batch had either soft camshafts or the oil dilution due to interrupted DPF burn cycles, chewed them up.

it would be nice if all those Evoques were a realistic price but theyre not

What new late model LR product has a realistic price?

None that I know of.

Maybe that’s why there’s so many for sale...

However one thing that struck me was the apparent extraordinary number of Evoques for sale in the general Sydney area.( Central coast to Wollongong)

So today I did a rough count and I may have missed some .

In total there were 35 Evoques for sale versus 16 or so D3 D4 D5.( because I got jaded after many lines of cars)

Is it the problems that Evoques suffer ?

Mine (in Perth) had 0 issues but selling as my lease is coming to an end and I'm upgrading to the Defender (looong wait). Loved the Evoque over the last 5+ years, did great for what I used it for (family car and lots of camping trips across WA).

Hi grey_ghost

I'm going for the White 2021 'S' six seater with a few extras like the black pack, rubber mats, 18" dark grey rims, premium LED.
ETA June or July and hopefully my Evoque sells by then..
