Parking - you'd have to take it for a test drive to really know.

Resale - you won't know until it's too late - I'd expect them to trade at a discount second hand - but who knows, it's supply and demand, so they may command a premium if enough people want them - but not many people with chauffeurs buy used cars.....

Saw a normal L405 and a LWB side by side in a LR dealership in London once. The difference from the outside seemed subtle tbh, though i can imagine parking is an issue. The inside, however, was much bigger. Just seemed more luxurious and special.

If it was 'money no option' I wouldnt hesitate to get the LWB. Jordan

Just my humble opinion but parking shouldnt be an issue if you have any driving ability and as for resale , worry about that then. 2015 4.4 AB

I suspect parking a LWB is less about ability and more about the physical size of the spaces. When i park my FFRR in sainsburys of tescos it fills up the entire space. Spaces haven't got any bigger in the uk for the last 50 odd years... Jordan

Unless your'e travelling in the back why bother. I suspect it's been heavily discounted as 'it's bolted to the floor' as they say when a car won't sell.

Here in ireland we have range rover spaces , they are at the far end of every car park and involve p taking up two in not more of the ' ordinary spaces '

I wasnt doubting the gentlemans parking ability , i was more pointing out that the RRs are eay enough to park with all the magical assitance and the driving position. Im in gatwick airport waiting for a plane having just dropped back a 2016 E220d hire car and i found in a wee bit more awkward to parrellel park than my L322, as hard to see out of the thing but it did have a great rear view camera that showed the whole rear of the car , sides and all . 2015 4.4 AB

Looks gorgeous and depending on how often you have kids or grand kids in the back , it could be just the job if the price and spec are right . Again just my humble opinion 2015 4.4 AB
