Hi everybody,
This is my first post in the forum. I have been lurking for some months gathering intel on the RRS and trying to decide between the HSE and the SC.
I started looking for a new car several months ago, and it took me just a week to decide that the RRS was by far the best looking car/truck among all my choices (except for a Porsche 911 which I had to rule out because of practical concerns). As far as I am concerned the beauty of this truck is unmatched among SUVs.
After reading many posts here and in other forums, it was clear to me that although the HSE is a great truck, the SC offered a very special and rare experience: an SUV with a Bentley-like interior, that handles like a sport car and 510 HP to prove it. I don't think I will ever push the SC to its limits regarding speed, but acceleration like the one described by SC owners is something I dream about.
I live in Miami, FL and started shopping around for my RRS SC about 2 weeks ago. I don't want to go outside the state so I only contacted 4 dealers. One of them never replied to my request. Another one reply to my first request but when I ask about prices I never heard from him again. Of the last 2 still standing, one told me msrp was his best offer and the other one made and offer for a $750 discount. To be honest with you, I felt like I was shopping for a $15k car and not an $80k truck.
I wouldn't mind the whole thing if it wasn't because I am also shopping for a Q7 Prestige S-Line for my wife and I have received very good discounts from all Audi dealers, including The Collection which is notorious for not negotiating prices. And all this for a Q7 model like the one I want that is really hard to find with this options.
Since I am new to the Land Rover scene, maybe this is the way it is with the RRS and no discounts are offered even during the worst recession in 20 years.
I would love to hear your comments/suggestions,
MMK
