Quick Hit – Another (Cheaper) Range Rover – $18,998!

rr sideSomething about a Range Rover Sport HSE selling for less than $20,000 seems like a bargain.  Here’s a 2010 model with 59,000 miles for only $18,998.  Other than the 2009 model selling for $16,998 last fall (covered here) I haven’t seen one this cheap.  The 2009 model had the 300hp V-8 and this 2010 has a new 5.0l V-8 rated at 375hp.  It’s a bit faster, but it ain’t fast.  But it is luxurious. A chance to “drive rich”.

Here’s the 2010 Car and Driver review covering the introduction of the then latest Range Rover offering.  Beware, when I wrote about this 2012 Range Rover on Mother’s Day a reader pursued it and learned the MaxCare warranty that makes these unicorns worthwhile, was approaching $9,000 for the maximum coverage.  That’s a bit steep.  I always recommend calculating how many usable miles one expects to drive and match the warranty accordingly.  The warranties are always five years, but you can choose the mileage cap you want – 100,000, 125,000, or maybe 150,000 for this Range Rover.  The warranty goes up with each cap.  rr int 2This is a two-owner Texas SUV, and yes, one of those cowboys had an accident and pretty clear that contributes to the discounted price.  If that doesn’t bother you, find it here in Irving, Texas.2010 Range Rover $18,998 59k Texas 6-9-20

Quick Hit – Bargain 510hp 2012 Range Rover Sport – $25,998

RR sideI love this unicorn.  Don’t see a lot of Range Rovers in red.  Don’t see a lot of supercharged Range Rovers for $25,998.  Don’t see any other 500+ hp SUV’s for under $35,000 – BMW X5M’s and X6M’s sometimes come close (check out this X6M with 555hp for $36,998 in Tuscon).  Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8’s don’t have the oomph and cost more.  Mercedes GL63’s top 550hp but also cost twice what this Range Rover does.

This supercharged Range Rover is ripe for MaxCare though – repairs aren’t cheap.  Minor point – CarMax has this car listed under the more luxurious Range Rover category and not Range Rover Sport.  The Sports are usually cheaper – regardless $25,998 is a good deal for a single-owner Ranger Rover Sport Supercharged.  Find it here in Sacramento.
