    A dilemma - do I order a new 2014 RRS, or buy a 2012 Vogue?

    Okay, I ask this without wishing to sound like a tosser, so go easy on me. I'm about to sell my 2010 RRS 3.0 (had an offer today, not yet accepted). I like the look of the new 2014 Sport HSE 3.0 - but man, at $140K on road, it's a helluva gouge. Brilliant car. But having taken a near $40k bath on the current RRS in three years, I'm loathe to do the same again on a new one. (Which I wouldn't be able to get for 6 months anyway)
    There are quite a few 2011-2012 4.4V8 Vogues with sub-20,000km on the market for $130K-ish asking price. Given that I'm 58 and my wife and I want to keep the next car for up to 5 years or more for some long-distance travelling, maybe towing a boat or camper trailer, am I better off with the new V6 Sport 6 months from now, or the older model V8 Vogue I can pick up anytime?

    I think I'd go the new sport or the new range. But then again, if I had the option if have a d4 and a RRS in that budget - one for fun the other for day to day.

    Mmmm...'cept there's no way I'm going to cough up $195K + for the new Rangie Vogue:-) The leasing company would love it I'm sure.
    I'm tempted to wait till the new Sport arrives...but then again, love the 'old' 322 Vogue too. Maybe the new Sport makes even the new Vogue redundant.

    Vogue. Nice though the new RRS looks / most likely is, for the ridiculous wedge of cash they are here I'd be buying the full fat Vogue. I'm sure as a travelling vehicle it'll be far more comfortable as well.

    I think it's certainly a range rover now not a fake discovery. :P

    Don't think that the new RRS won't depreciate like your current one, it will happen just like any other vehicle on the market.
    Buying a couple of years old vehicle will always have a large saving over new.

    Are there more wheel/tyre options for your anticipated usage for one of the vehicles than the other? The earlier Vogues had a more supple ride than the RRS but the difference may not exist with later/new models.

    Greg,

    Is a fully kitted D4 with the 3.0 twin turbo diesel with the new 8 spd gearbox not on the list.

    The D4 would arguably be as good a long haul cruiser as the RRS, might not match the V8 Vogue but probably leave a bit more change in the pocket and you get it brand new.

    Plus the D4 is a well sorted unit with most of the bugs ironed out, the new sport, like all new models will have teething problems ?

    Additionally I expect that the used Vogues will reduce in pricing as buyers trade up into the new RR so maybe a short wait will be beneficial.

    Ah well, an enjoyable dilemma to have, I look forward to seeing which way you jump!

    George.

    Greg,

    I put a post on the Green Oval Facebook page regarding the 2014 RRS as a tourer - from initial impressions only. Might be worth a read if you're seriously contemplating one. Hint - DON'T get the 7 seater!

    Cheers,

    Gordon
