SoCo KinG Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 The silver on is 85k Miles on a 06 plate and its diesel second range is a 05 plate with 120k on the clock which is also diesel Considering their both diesels and the reg years are 5/6 years old that is VERY good. When you buy diesel you would expect those certain miles because before fuel prices got mad the only people who where buying powerful diesel cars where business motorway mandem. As oppose to now where people are buying diesel to save money on fuel, not because they necessarily do big miles. but who buys a range to use for business 'motorway' purposes, it's not pratical and the 06 plate would have more than 85k on the clock if it was used for motorways on a daily basis.

Heero Yuy Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Mate my car park is at work is full of ranges, what are you on about.

My office is based pretty much of a motorway junction and alot of people travel in from surrounding areas. lol @ not practical If any for urban environments they're not practical based on fuel consumption lol i was gonna say this. Range,Q7 etc are sick motorway cars. They are more comfortable than normal whips, and go faster than your average whip as well. Add to that you cant feel all the dips in the road and youre on to a winner. Guy's fully confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruz Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 fuel economy for a range aint all that tbh due to the size/weight of the car the v6 turbo diesels are known to be sluggish which are prob the ones your looking at. the V8 diesels give best performance and mpg but at the end of the day your choice not really a big fan of ranges but trust me bitches love them!!

Heero Yuy Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 If I was buying a car based on performance it wouldn't even be ANY Range full stop, but i get what your saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Awesome Kong Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 You love ur Ford's innit? No, just the Fiesta. The previous Fiesta (mk6) looked/was sh*t so avoided. MK7 = sexy looking so the ST should look similar to the zetec s but with tailpipe on each side. Small good handling cars = sick + cheap = win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Awesome Kong Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Range rover insurance quotes coming at , cheapest £800, and the average was £1200 Porsche Carrera £1800 cheapest Like M12 said 4 NCB and plus i'll be 25 aswell by then, Range Rover quotes are surprising cheap The 25 yo ting is hype, from my experience the best you'll get is £100 off. It's only good if someone you know has insurance that allows over 25s to drive their cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necksta Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 @ Heero Yoy Go for the Range. I drove one a few times, car is f*ck*ng nice. Scary to drive at first but after you get used to the whole 4x4 thing it really is a nice whip. Some roads around the ends come like baghdad, in my Merc, I can feel it as the suspension ain't the best, the range is different though. Test drive both, I guarantee you'll go for the Range. I don't like the dashboard though, I've used a 58 plate, and wtf is with the black and white cd player.. Also, the diesel 2.7 model isn't as bad as you think on fuel. I put £25 to go to Coventry from London, got there, and still had a good 1/4th of fuel left. Cov is around 95 miles away from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
