Thanks for the interesting trade info. That service history a problem I agree, odd though as the vast majority of RR’s are leased and have the first 2-3 years services at main dealers so maybe a story here. These are complex machines and I would always want evidence of at least regular oils and filters services. Auctions always look tempting but are really for the dealers who are looking for multiple cars on a monthly basis for stock rather than the private punter but I am sure some bargains there if you look. Utube is your friend with plenty of decent car channels these days, some better than others, but no way a replacement for this sort of forum.

The lack of recorded services could be simply down to the fact that most information is electronic these days and the auctions don’t bother looking so the information could be a result of some paperwork left in the vehicle or a stamp in the book by a second owner (it has 2). You could establish its history I’m sure and as you say it could very well turn out to have had a full service record.

Yep, I'd go along with that. I bet a third party warranty is a pretty penny too. 2012 Vogue TDV8 in Aintree green |

This is the explanation, perfect Mr Scouse! Also, the variance in Private sales values is people not understanding the difference between Dealer sales (warranties/come back/Prep) vs. private sales. Saw a white L405 last year, above dealer price sit there for 7+ months as it was ludicrously priced, if a car is priced right it will sell. |

One option could be to buy privately, then take out a warranty with one of the companies like Warranty Wise or Motoreasy. There are sometimes limitations, such as what they cover, but the warranties tend to be about £1000/yr. Current:

I'm watching this as well, I currently have an SDV8 diesel but I often do short journeys for which it's not ideal - lots of oil changes. So Petrol or electric (P400e) is the conundrum and electric side steps and towbar are a must, what will c.£45k get me in the current climate. Geoff |

At auction it would get you into a late 2019 car, somewhere between late £20k for a low spec (Vogue) with some miles and in need of a little love to a low mileage autobiography at the mid to upper £30’s
