Be prepared for a massive resale hit with any Rover product, it's always been the case.
They're OK when new but with a few K's on them they get temprimental, unreliable and expensive, hence the plummeting resale values. Only one dealer in Perth too (effectively) so that doesn't help either. That said, the Brembo brakes on the Sport look great.

Same owners, that's why I put 'effectively' in brackets. You can't exactly bargain one against the other.

Both dealerships owned by Alf Barbagello, so effectively one dealership spread north and south of the river.

When looking at the Range Rover Sport the other year, neither dealership would budge on pricing. I was pretty disappointed in the product considering the air suspension in the demo vehicle kept malfunctioning over a few different days of testing.

Ended up getting the ML350, fantastic vehicle. If looking at the moment, I'd be having a good look at the new X5 or a ML63 AMG - 370kW in a tank w00t!
