Just keep the SV (great exterior color).

You have already absorbed the depreciation. It is a sunk cost. So just enjoy the car. I have a 23 SV in British Racing Green that I picked up when it had 7K miles on it and so far it is great.

I am also in commercial real estate, but semi retired and I don't have to drive all the time. So it will take me at least another 6 years to get near 100k on it.

 

I'd love to see a photo of your SV!

 

I'll second the recommendation to keep your SV.
Cost / mile comes down, eventually, if you keep driving it.

 

Third motion on the recommendation above, 27k miles is nothing on these cars and keep racking the miles. Unless, you want to use the new purchase for a tax write off....
If that is the case, a loaded SE will come close to the price of an ATB. I personally could not justify getting an ATB, but everyone is different with their tastes and preferences. Good luck.

 

I drive about 20k miles per year so 27k on a two year old vehicle is not much. That is a striking color combo and you know the vehicle well, so if it were me I would keep it. Tough call though when you feel it is long in the tooth

 

I drive around 30-35k miles per year and keep my RR´s always around 3 - 4 Years, depending on the model updates.
In your case, I would keep the SV and drive it up to 90k miles, just check the warranty and enjoy the ride...

Stepping down from an SV just after the highest depreciation makes no sense to me..., and this as an P550 HSE owner... ;-)

 

Love that color. I’d keep it and move on before warranty is out.

I can understand moving on to get something new or if the L460 is refreshed to update, but to get a new car that’s the same pretty much and take a step down the trim ladder, I would hang tight.

 

I agree. Keep the SV. It has hvac knobs and volume button. That alone is worth it. 27k miles is nothing. You’re going to give up so many features for a step down, and for what? I’d keep it.

 

Thank you, everyone, for the input. I'm a new Range Rover owner. This SV is my first Range Rover. So I'm still learning the curve on them as far as how long everyone is keeping them, maintenance issues, etc. I honestly haven't found anything else out there that I like more. I had looked at Cayenne Turbos as a potential replacement as well, but there's nothing as luxurious as the RR. And you're right about the downgrade in trim levels to an extent.

 

I had a 2007 I drove for 250k miles, never had any issues with it but I kept up with all the recommended maintenance. Keep you SV and enjoy driving it. With your 27k miles on the odometer any issues with the car would have been dealt with under warranty. Just keep it maintained as long as you own it.

 

if your driving that much I would make sure to do oil changes at every 5K miles,
its easy for a DIY guy to do without lifting the truck.
This will increase the longevity of the valve train and timing components

 

I wouldn’t do anything at the moment. We’ll know what changes are taking place for the 26MY RR in the coming weeks.
