RE: How long do you expect to keep your Evoque? - XFullFatTim - 24-08-2011 10:10am
The longest I have kept a car in the last 15 years was 3 years and it was the last RRSport that I owned which went to within a month of being 3 years in my ownership. I wanted to replace it with a 2010MY car with the same TDv8 engine but LR withdrew the model, which is why I bought a pre-reg FFRR with the same engine. That TDv8 RRS was the best Land Rover I have ever owned - it drove exceeding well, had fantastic road holding for such a heavy car, it was very economical on the roads that i drive on and was beautifully built. However it also ate 3 sets of front suspension bushes during my ownership. These were replaced under warranty and LR refused to accept that there was something wrong with the bushes or suspension - I wasn't prepared to foot the bill after the warranty ran out for something that the maker claimed was a characteristic when what it needed was a harder set of bushes and a redesign of the trick electronic/hydraulic anti-roll bars.

A lot if people won't like this but I will advertise my Evoque for sale at a premium. If it sells it sells, if it doesn't then I will keep it for about 2 years as I could have clocked up to 60k miles in it! Ouch

Mine is on a straight 3 year business lease, so it depends on how it is during that time and what the buy price will be at the end of the lease. I may purchase it for my wife as hers will be 5 years old by that time.

I change my car more times than my socks, but will have to keep this car for a while my current freelander is not even a year old yet but by the time the evoque comes it will be. I need someone to invent a patch to stick on my arm to keep the cravings at bay when land rover bring out something new.
