Hi folks

Having had a jag experience day care of my local dealer I am looking for a 575 SVR.

Can't afford to pay for a new one so looking at older models.

Any help with what to look for/walk away from would be much appreciated.

Cheers
JJ

Welcome to the forum!

You won't be able to buy a new one since they've discontinued that model, the new full fat V8 R has pretty much the same performance as the SVR now.

Try to weed out potential press hacks and track experience cars. The SVR is likely to appear more than other variants with this type of background. Probably mechanically fine anyway, but some of them don't sell as quickly as a result.
Look at the service history to see where it was PDI'd and serviced and whether this was all done on time. You'd be surprised how many £110k cars have an iffy history.

When you find one, member simpleR can perform some checks on it so you go into the purchase with your eyes open.

Good luck with the search!
