GL350 BlueTEC - Just pulled the trigger...

[stevehg]

Have been offered a part ex value on the D4, but I think it's fairly average (as is to be expected), so literally just marketed it this week and will put on Auto Trader this weekend so hopefully will throw a little bit more into the coffers, but it's not a great time of year to be offloading c£21k's worth of car

Didn't know that Disco's were that robust on depreciation now. £21K for an almost six year old one with 90K miles is a lot to pay imho.

Not trying to make any point, as obviously people are buying them at this price. I was just surprised they hold their prices that well, as to me it doesn't seem to represent good value for money. Admittedly I'm out of touch, as I gave up the cycle of buying new RR's 5 years ago and they used to shed a lot more money than this

Have fun with the new car.

cheers, Steve

Steve, it's a fair point, the Disco is a funny beast, they seem to lose a fair amount sharpish then have a fairly flat depreciation curve.
Also, our one is a very good HSE spec with some very nice toys, moreso than I had in my RR, so I guess that helps.
To be fair, with a private plate, unless you are a LR geek, you really wouldn't think it's nearly a 6 year old car

Looks really nice, and great that you got to use it in appropriate weather conditions too!

It's not bad if you like that sort of thing.

Only joking BC. It looks the part. I hope it's been worth the wait. Enjoy. Post a little review when you get a minute.

Ant.

Very nice BC


Pity it's not an RRS though

BC's far too class to own a RRS. :bannana:

My initial impressions are it's better than my RRS1, seriously very impressed
Won't be as good off road clearly, but on a 200 mile trip last night, it was super smooth and very quiet, almost eerily quiet.

Definitely got to get used to the size of it though
