2017 Land Rover Range Rover SportSVR

The vehicle itself is solid. It's the high-performance SVR variant of one of the market's most desirable luxury SUVs, carries no open recalls, and at 29,000 miles sits in genuinely low-mileage territory. The asking price, however, sits 14% above the median comp price of $23,745. That's a $3,255 premium you'd be paying for a vehicle that's already depreciated significantly from its original value.

Here's where it gets critical: this vehicle is being rejected on a single gate criterion—mileage velocity. At 14,347 miles per year, it's more than double the 6,000-mile annual threshold used to evaluate acquisition quality. That's not a minor red flag. It suggests either heavy use or inconsistent ownership patterns, both of which carry real implications for long-term reliability and resale value.

The financial math doesn't help. You're being asked to pay above market for a vehicle that's already deep into its depreciation curve. Add $4,000 in annual maintenance costs—high-tier territory for a supercharged Range Rover—and the economics tighten considerably.

This isn't a good deal at the asking price. Before proceeding, you need to understand the mileage history. Request detailed service records and ownership timeline from the dealer. If the high annual mileage is recent or concentrated under a single owner, that's one conversation. If it's spread across multiple owners or represents consistent heavy use, walk away.
