Thread: New D4 HSE or low km RRV?

Do you need 7 seats & more space?

MY14 RRV (L405) TDV8 for same money as new D4? D4 prices must have jumped a lot since I last looked.

Whilst I love my D4 if I could have got that sort of deal last year when I bought mine I would have jumped at it.
Mind you I don't need 7 seats.
Get the extended warranty on the RRV that will make up for the shortfall.

Get 20" rims and you will be able to fit good AT's

Cheers

Hi Jonesfam, no seven seats is not critical, had a patrol the last 12 years and removed the rear seats the day I took ownership and installed a cargo barrier, fridge and draws much to my wife's disgust..

Hi Greame, not sure if they are common but found this one recently:

2012 Land Rover Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Luxury Auto 4x4 MY12.

2012 RRV Luxury in white with lots of options and low KMs for 120k, Approximately the cost of an optioned up HSE. It does have white leather which would be a nightmare in the Victorian bush with the mud and all, but it has the ediff, surround cameras etc and lots of other fun bits..

Hi Chuck, yes it is very tempting, now you see my dilemma. I don't want to bug a lemon, and it's in QLD whereas I'm in Melbourne so it would be sight unseen unless I fly up to view. And it has white leather but I believe you can get leather dye.

Also not sure about fitting decent LT tyres, dual battery, snorkel, UHF etc. on these pretty high tech and I assume cramped cockpits. Plus I am sure the servicing would be more expensive than a disco.

Mind you it's a cracker of a motor and someone else has already taken a bath on e price.

That 2012 RRV is a L322 like mine, not a L405. L405s on Carsales start at around $150K.

Edit: Don't take the add for granted regarding the electronic locking diff as the standard definition refers to the centre locking diff, not the rear. Either have a look at the diff or check the VIN on Topix to see the build specifications.

I bought mine last August listed at $135K with 19K kms, not that I paid that price.

Maybe you should have a look at both the D4 and L322 to see how cramped they are compared to a patrol. If you have $150,000 to spend also look at a used L405.

I think the point Graeme was making is a 2014 RRV L405 is the new shape and so quite a lot more money than a D4 HSE. The D4 is in its coming up to or in its last model year of production.

The L322 in your post is a nice vehicle, but quite expensive. The L322 shape that dates back to 2002. Hence the jump in price for a L405.

Personally, I prefer the L322 style. But that's up to individual preference.
