2002 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER VOGUE L322 03MY SUV Private Cars For Sale in VIC - carsales.com.au
Started it at $35k which i knew was optimistic but I would have thought it's a bit of a bargain at $30k even with the KMs.
Yeah, an Intravee, the Alpine iPod interface and the iPhone bracket thingy on the special mounting plate that doesn't require drilling into the dash.
I have looked at your Range Rover many times... the interior fits my criteria, the price is good... the Ks are not to much of a worry... the colour is my second choice...
Only bad point for me is that it is a V8 :(
Just had a look at the ad - I have no idea why you haven't had any enquiries. Pity it wasn't for sale when I bought mine, or I would have been on your doorstep I think, even though it is the V8 - this may be what is scaring people off - there seem to be more V8's than Diesels for sale, and with petrol prices always heading up, it may put the frighteners on a potential new buyer.
Hope you have some bites soon.
As a potential buyer bacicat2000 is spot on the money! it is the prospected cost of owning the V8 variant which scares me off... in every other way... that is the Perfect Range Rover for me!

As James has said: the preference for diesel is defying secondhand costings. just a look in Carsales shows the average Diesel that costed up to $10,000 less is now selling for $5-7000 more than the V8's. And usally with higher mileages. There is a 05 HSE diesel there for $57k and 06 Td6 Vogues for $69+ ! A 05 D3 SE V6 petrol will cost around $30k in basic form, the only thing the Disco has, in my opinion is the huge cargo area and extra seats, comfort ride etc the L322 is tops. Someone might do the figures, but at some point the price difference might make the V8 an economical option.
Like others I'm just waiting for the right one to come along :D

Here are the figures as I see them. Based on 20,000KM per year. We are averaging 11L/100KM in our diesel, so 2,200 litres per year @ $1.44 per litre is $3,168 per year. Happy for someone to jump in here with accurate V8 figures, but lets say an average of 15L/100KM? Based on that, then the V8 would use 3,000 litres of petrol for the same 20,000KM, so at $1,34 per litre, that is $4,020 a year, so $852 a year more to run. If you can pick a V8 up for $10K less than a diesel, then that's going to take 11.7 years before you are out of pocket on buying the V8 - worth thinking about.Quote:

I would imagine if you are going to be towing with it, then the V8 would start to swallow a lot more...

When making a choice on the Purchase it is not only the cost of refueling the vehicle which goes into account...
There is also the higher cost of registration and also i would imagine a higher cost of insurance as if i was to get a V8 i would be getting a higher spec...
And a none cost issue for me is the amount of time i would spend standing at the petrol station... i like the idea of getting close to 1000km per tank.

I have always believed that in the long run for me a petrol engined fourby will be cheaper to run than a diesel. That is looking at these factors - used purchase price, servicing maintenance, repairs - eg one bad fueling with contaminated diesel and there goes the diesel pump and maybe injectors plus all the inevitable short running around home. Petrols handle short runs better than diesels. I live in a small country town and everything is within a few kilometres so it is this sort of start/stop running but then there is the frequent 100Km trip to the nearest major regional centre.
I have been looking at buying one of the last of the P38s which are being advertised for between $20G and $25G with between 100,000/150,000 Kms on them. Your L322 at $30G and182,000Kms seems like a bargain compared to them - a lot of car for the money. Perhaps it is the Landrover/Rangerover reputation for unreliability which is holding back a sale.
Then too I have no idea as to what the difference in advertised price to actual selling price for these last of the P38s is either.
Yeah, we saw that when we bought the 08, very little difference in advertised prices between the non-supercharged and supercharged V8s and as much as $20k of a difference for a TDV8 with similar specs and KMs.
It's a shame LPG has gone up in price so much recently and the subsidy going down shortly that it is looking a less worthwhile proposition converting an L322 considering the ~$5k conversion cost.
Will hang fire on our 03 a while longer before dropping it any further, open to reasonable negotiation with AULRO members but reluctant to drop the price on carsales just purely to be rid of it and have it bought up by a dealer.
Bugger........now you have me thinking about yours.
I need to find out about any potential issues I could face over the next 5 years plus /50thou kms plus because frankly I know nothing much about L322s except for hearing about front diffs and GM trannies
I may chuck you a PM later on.
