Thread: D3 or RRsport TDV6

Depreciation on both these cars will be huge perhaps worse than current rovers . Reason being that most people in the motor trade will tell you that anone that can afford a new one can afford running costs. The problem is that these cars are packed with high tech stuff that usually fails with age. Therefore most second hand buyers can't afford repairs.

It's as simple as that just ask car valuers most will give you the same answer to that question. I will still trade up regards of huge depreciation because I love Land Rovers. 8)

Can't quite follow your logic here ak. :?
Like any they will depreciate, however nowhere near the amounts of current rovers. They are "new" and "unique" models, at the higher end of the scale, there are not a lot on the market, and for comparitive and upgrade buying there isn't much out there. There is also a "trend" factor still associated with them - as with the (crappy) X3 & X5 a few years ago.
They are so yesterday's SUV girlfriend :roll:

I believe they will hold their value extremely well for the next few years.
One of the main reasons Disco prices and older Rangies are depreciating so quickly, is that there are oodles of 2nd hand ones in the market place, (not to mention all the last model D2 ones LR "sacrificed") to bring in the D3. There is a new model in the D3, and there has also been a downward trend in larger cars/4WD's in favour of smaller ones. These factors won't overly affect the D3 or RRS nearly as much as it has previous LR's.

Just my 2 cents worth.
