Not sure I want a Pure or even a RRE anymore

Pure with tech pack is a model in its own right with separate increased residuals,the pano roof and privacy glass are an additional cost whatever model you buy .

The cheapest cars in the range usually hold their values better than the dearest - a basic Prestige will lose more over time than a basic Pure - look at other marques and you will see that that is almost always the case

I agree Wicksy but the point we were making is that a fully loaded Pure might not hold it's value as well as a basic Prestige in terms of percentages

Hi Vinny, at best it's a sub model, admittedly it will have better values than a base pure but there's only three models

Bejesus all this waffling on about residuals, bottom line is that the more you spend on a car the more you will loose when you get rid. If you are all really so concerned about residuals buy a 10yr old mondeo like i just have for £650 and have some depreciation free motoring!

(the mondeo is only temporary for me though)

Exactly - end of argument

If, like me, you wear clothes when sitting in your car, then the difference in the texture of the leather shouldn't make too much difference.

It's a wonder LR are able to sell any Prestige or Dynamic plus models at all...!

That's it then I'm off down the KIA dealer to buy a Piacento.
