I have about 65k AUDr to spend and am looking at either a Lincoln Navigator or Range Rover. Does anyone have experience of how these 2 differ out there and what age car I would get for that kind of cash? I'm not interested in resale value - just the most car I can get! hosrom_951 Brisbane Forums Member Joined: 28 Nov 2005 Posts: 32 Location: Brisbane Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2006 10:22 am    Post subject: Ask about service costs, that is the issue that a lot of people forget about. I will tell you this, i own a 1996 BMW 328iS, we purchased it from new in 1997. Now, in 2006, we clocked well over 212,000kms. We (my mother and i) have a FULL service history from AGMC Kedron and Gumdale. The car drives and runs just like the day we got it. Now, i know that there are a lot of garages out there, that can give you almost the same results, but they would charger more, scam you or just try to squeeze more money from this. Take this with a grain of salt, having a car with FSH from dealer, and running like a champ would be a major plus for you and IF you sell it (which you would not?). I know that Al Tayer Motors (the dealership for Rang Rover) are very expensive and would probably make you hate the car, according to friends of mine who own range rovers. Lincoln is a division from Ford, once again Al Tayer Motors. But i believe the maintenance for Lincoln/Ford if more realistic than Range. Also look into fuel consumption rates, another thing one should consider. _________________ D.S.P....Where New York Meets Brisbane Brisbane Brisbane forums GURU Joined: 24 Mar 2005 Posts: 2525 Location: Brisbane, Australia Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2006 10:28 am    Post subject: I would strongly urge you NOT to get a Range....

And probably a slightly "newer" navigator compared to the RR, but still I think you'd get one with high kms. Personally I would be looking for a newer Patrol or Pajero for that sort of money. _________________ -Driven by Precision- tokensgarage Australia, Brisbane Forum starter Joined: 18 Jan 2007 Posts: 1 Posted: Thu Jan 18, 2007 12:44 pm    Post subject: Brisbane wrote: I would strongly urge you NOT to get a Range....

If you want european refinement, amazing off road abilities (still a class leader) and a very good looking 4wd, go the rangie. dont take my word for it, a quote from trucktrend magazine Quote: "Buyers in this market tend to be demanding, and all these vehicles should meet realistic expectations in every aspect of ownership. The new Range Rover is a high-tech piece worthy of Windows masters, delightful on the road, and sold in low volumes. The LX 470 remains faithful to those qualities Lexus buyers prefer: conservative, reliable, capable, luxurious, and utterly quiet. The Navigator has vastly improved, and the people responsible should get a gold star. It's a versatile, roomy, comfortable bus with great road manners and a decent buy at $10/pound, however its lack of refinement is still worth a mention. A hard look at your own needs and requirements will ultimately make the choice, but for our money, the new Range Rover sets the pace." oh and one last thing. Ford own Range rover also Leon Brisbane Forum Admin Joined: 02 Apr 2003 Posts: 402 Posted: Fri Jan 19, 2007 11:13 pm    Post subject: I agree, range rovers rocks!!! _________________ Brisbane, Oz Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Brisbane Forums.com Forum Index -> Brisbane Auto All times are GMT + 4 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Brisbane General Discussions - English forums----------------Brisbane General ChatNew membersFight ClubMovies,Music & MultimediaBrisbane RomanceSuggestions Brisbane tech discussions----------------Brisbane AutoBrisbane high tech talk Brisbane Business - new forums below this point----------------For Sale in BrisbaneProducts and Services in Brisbane - Discussion Forum Brisbane Employment----------------Companies hiring - jobs in Brisbane and AustraliaProfessionals looking for jobs in Brisbane and Australia Australian Culture Forums----------------Australian history and culturePolitics, Philosophy and Religion Forums Brisbane Consumer----------------Brisbane black listBrisbane white list Brisbane Expat - English forums----------------Brisbane GuideAccommodation in Brisbane forumBrisbane Expat Help Forum  You can post new topics in this forum You can reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Forums Web Directory | Software development forums | London UK jobs | London Classifieds | Vegan Web Directory | EU forums Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
