My goodness used 200s are fairly rare!

How many of those 48 months are you actually driving your RRS and not in a loaner while they fix something at the dealer?

I can't speak for anyone else, but the only time we had a loaner was about 3 weeks ago when we were in Denver. We dropped it for to replace the blind spot sensor module and it was done about 48 hours later. We have a 2015 RRS with about 50K on the clock.

Just sold my white 2009 LC200 with 107,800 miles for $25,000. No accidents and well maintained. I've had it since January 2011, as second owner. I believe I could have sold it for closeer to $30,000 but sold it to a buddy who also has a 60 and 100 series. It has gone to a good home.

Only thing I thought might be worth consideration in the RRS vs LC residual value topic, is maybe option up the RRS to better resemble the content of a LC . I seem to recall the RRS has a very rapid gain in price when optioned to the LCs base or only content pkg for the US which is very much loaded. IE. I seem to recall the base RRS comes with a V6. Every time I did a build and price on the RR website I typically found myself in the 80-90K price range, and to get the dual rear hatch that I really like on my LC I had to jump up to the regular RR and then when I would build and price that vehicle, I was always in the 100K+ range. I would imagine once you look at more apples to apple in terms of vehicle content, you might see that residual value tilt more in the LCs favor.

The RRS is apples to oranges in many ways compared to a LC. But to your point re: residuals, a base RRS HSE V6 is going to be pretty comparable to the LC in terms of "play pretties" (options). The dual rear hatch thing is a strictly personal preference item. I love the one piece hatch of the RRS, yet I am 6'4 and have bumped my head into the darn thing more than once when it is open. And the edge of the RRS hatch is a tad sharp.

The new gen RR's are far more reliable but they started from such a low point it's still a major turn off for me. They went from "leaving you stranded often" to "2-3 dealer visits with a smaller possibility of stranding you."

That being said it's still the pinnacle of a luxury SUV when it's fully functional. Especially with Mercedes botching the design of the new G.

My niece and her husband had an RR. A truly awful purchase. Lots of shop time, electrical issues, unreliable. They were happy to unload at a loss and buy a Japanese car. After hearing their story, and others, I’d never buy an RR.

Same here my niece had hers for about a week or two doors rattled there was like five or six problems after taking back up three times in the first week she took a loss on it and bought a Mercedes GL 450 another mistake. I don’t really trust JD Powers on quality ratings but the range rover brand is next to the bottom on all cars and Lexus is that at the top
