    There is no value in either of those deals.
    Try carwow.
    And I wouldn't lease for 4 years, I would prefer 2 and at a push 3.

    Buy a new one with cash then. Even if it's worth only £20k after 4yrs, you've still saved £3k.
    Too funny

    A brave decision. 

    You will know from your research, just as I know from personal experience, those reliability surveys do not tell lies.  Range Rovers really can be the worst car ownership experience you can ever have,

    You could well spend three years in and out of dealerships trying to get it fixed, then at 3.6 years old and out of warranty it will give you a nice four figure bill to settle.  Just what you need six months before you are due to hand it back.

    For that reason it woukd be a lease so when it goes wrong its the lease company's problem.

    OP need to check through the T/C of both PCP & especially Lease for any charges for returning car early if any problems.

  • Its a Range Rover. So pick the option where you are not responsible for the repair bills when it breaks.
  • It is a Range Rover!  Reliability is a major problem with all Range Rovers at the moment, just Google it and see.  For that money I would be looking at either a BMW X5 or a Volvo XC90.  My choice would be the BMW.  Both have excellent reliability and good resale values and are bulletproof when it comes to reliability.

    Thank you I will have a look. Yes I have seen that through lease you have to ask for permission every time....
    No, you don't have to ask for permission every time. You request VE103b once a year and you are done.
    Also, don't risk driving Range Rover longer than warranty period. With lease, you don't pay road tax which will save you around £450 per year after first year. With PCP whole amount of the car will be put on your credit file, while with lease only what you pay during lease.

    A friend of mine got a Range Rover, I think by the time he got rid of it, he knew his local AA man like a close friend...he might have even invited him to his wedding. I remember all the Facebook posts and pictures of his RR being towed or dragged onto the back of a recovery vehicle. On the plus side he got to try a whole range of hire cars which helped him pick his next car when he finally ditched the RR.

    It is not cheaper. I am only looking at SE models, which are more expensive because they are higher spec mostly because of virtual cockpit etc.. plus the pcp offer is for p250 se r dynamics, which is more expensive as a vehicle
