New Range Rover finance packages make my eyes pop-out.
New Range Rover finance packages make my eyes pop-out. Just consider the figures.
The 'Advance Payment Plan' matched to the Range Rover 5.0 V8 Supercharged
Autobiography, for example, requires a staggering £52,191 deposit. And yes, that is only
the initial payment. After two years 4x4 lovers either return the vehicle, or pay a further
£33,554 to own it outright. This equals an eyeball-bursting £85,745. At least the interest
rate is fixed at 0%.
The Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 SE is a more affordable alternative. This is available
courtesy of the 'Land Rover Freedom' finance package. Simply cough-up a £14,366 deposit,
then a further forty-one payments of £575 at 7.59% APR. The optional final payment is
£16,928, which means the total cost is £54,869. The cheaper alternative is to buy outright,
without finance, for £48,045. On these terms that is cheaper than a wrecked Freelander.
These Range Rover finance packages apply until June 30th 2011. Furthermore, they are
subject to annual mileage limitations of 12,000 for the 5.0-litre, and 10,000 for the cheaper
3.0-litre. Excesses are charged at twelve pence per-mile, which equals £120 per-thousand.
Vehicles must also be returned in 'good' condition. Best stay away from off-road courses
then. In my experience these are virtually guaranteed to rearrange the bodywork. Ouch!
