Anyone tempted by the new RRS?

Scanned, to keep running when those missiles hit you will need a Defender........ Once one of NK's nuc's land it will be one of the few cars that doesn't have it's electronics wiped out by the EMP after the explosion, but not if it is one of the later versions, has to be a TDi300 or Series as they have no electronics whatsoever, which s why the British Army buys new Defenders and re-engines them with TDi engines instead of the latest one. It's also why the US Marines buy them.......... In preference to Hummers

Won't they all be petrol versions or is a diesel in the offering?

I only ask as the Wife wants the 4 Series Coupe.

2 litre diesel I believe

We cant get hummers any more

So should I consider buying an outgoing HSE Black edition at £52,995 or buy the new RRS HSE or even SE later this year? Your views appreciated please.

That's a hard one IKM, I'm sure there will be some good deals on the outgoing RRS BUT
the hard bit will be getting the spec you want as production will be slowing down. I would recommend a call to James at Hadley Green for advice - the newbie is a huge leap up in price and it does not have the low ratio gear box as standard unless you go for the Dynamic version of the new one. If you want a new RRS in September I have had it on good word that if you don't order when the order book open in a couple of weeks you won't get one until Christmas or even into 2014 so many expressions of interest have been taken on the new car.

Thanks Tim. Contrary to some posts on here I'm finding significant depreciation on the Evoque beginning, and therefore if I'm going to get my first RRS then now might be the right time. Standard spec on the outgoing HSE plus extended leather pack etc suits me well. By the time I spec Adaptive Dynamics etc on the new RRS it'll probably go outwith my budget ....and my Evoque will be worth even less. Food for thought tonight and tomorrow!

do want .... but at mid 70's its 30k more than the evoque.... thats a whole lot of money!

Same for me, I could be tempted but the price differential for a spec similar to my Evoque is just too great.
