WHO OWNS A RANGE ROVER TALKERS?

[Grundy]

@hunningale

is there any truth in this?

Hi,
Great work you do in your articles.
I earn $3,500 (Sh360,500) at the United Nations. Less my bills and other expenses, I am left with roughly $2,000 (Sh206,000). Kindly advise which eye-catching SUV I can maintain within that amount or less? I’d love the Range Rover Vogue TDV6 or a sport version of the same engine but I’ve read in some forums that owning one is disastrous. Is it possible to maintain one with this amount? I drive 30 kilometres daily. Kindly advise on any alternative if that is not possible.

Hello Okumu,
Please refrain from publicly divulging your wages. It’s only decent.
That being said, I’m not sure a disposable income $2,000 (206,000) a month is comfortable enough to run a Range Rover on. Sure, it is a comfortable place to be — especially in this economically grim election year — but certain cars have certain price tags to intentionally box out the aspirational middle class, of which you are one.
Now, on paper, your salary should cover any eventuality that arises from ownership of that motor vehicle, but life does not happen “on paper”, which is why there are certain unofficial “guidelines” on how much to spend on a motor vehicle.
Smart money advisers insist one should not spend much more than 10 per cent of one’s annual income on a car, but that is just ridiculous because this means that with your healthy pay packet of $42,000 (Sh4,326,000) a year, you are limited to a first-generation Toyota Premio or a Subaru Legacy BH5 like mine, yet I earn waaaay less than you do. No, can’t do. The “compromise” is one fifth of the annual income, which lands you in something newer, but still used. And you are still in Range Rover territory, even for ageing overused examples. Range Rovers might depreciate worryingly, yes, but they are not exactly free of charge either.

If you are a dedicated and hardened petrolhead, then you are allowed up to half of your annual salary on motor vehicle expenditure. Close but no cigar. $21,000 (Sh2,163,000) might eventually get you into a used Range Rover if you search hard enough, but this is the kind of Range Rover that will quickly suck up the remaining half of your salary that you didn’t spend on purchase; and no, we are not talking of the disposable part. I mean your entire salary.
That being said, how badly do you want a Range Rover? I could play the part of the brutally honest Agony Uncle and tell you to out your dream on ice until you go through two or three salary increments; or I could be the devil on your shoulder and scream “YOLO, b—!” in your ear and exhort you to go for it; there is no time like the present. At the end of the day it’s your call, but really… just do the math yourself.

RR’s are only good to look at, if I had the money to buy a new RR, I’d get myself a Gelandewagen instead. The interior of a G class is built for a king. Sturdy and reliable

I have an Okumu friend who earns half my salary but his vehicle is worth three times mine. It’s all about priorities. Either you live one day at a time kind of person or you have delayed gratification. There’s no wrong or right way to live.

most people buy things they don’t need to show off to people who don’t need showing off to.

This guy can only afford a harrier. 2400cc. That is the ideal car. $3500 is peanuts.

I would not call 3500 USD peanuts but I agree a clean Harrier would do for him.

Let Okumu get a Range.
Someone said Range Rover owners spend more time driving the dealer’s courtesy car than their own Range Rover.

Comments zinanimaliza. Swali ilikuwa ; who owns a Range Rover? Sasa experts watokelezea. Ooh anunue plot, ooh tafuta shares,ooh anunue harrier:mad::mad::mad:. From the comments, hakuna MTU ako na range Rover in ujuaji tuu. Hata huyo JM Baraza has just pulled an opinion out of his ass.
I’ll attempt to stick to the question. Owning a Range Rover is an experience just like owning any other car. You treat it well, it serves you well. You bash it, you cry in the toilet. Complaints usually come from guys seeking to scrounge on maintenance as they would on Japanese jalopies. This is suicidal on any European car.
Your biggest headache would be the air springs which can comfortably be replaced with coilovers and the ECU mapped. Your injectors might also act up but that can be addressed by cleaning them something you can do yourself.
Fueling should be a non issue as the consumption isnt all that high unless you are comparing with a Toyota NZE.

For me nikiwa na income ya 200k monthly na rent nyumba ya 20 k one bedroom,save na nunua plot ya 2m kitengela milimani,ocha na jenga keja na savings ya kitu 3 m,savings plus loan na maliza keja ya nairobi halafu ndio nifikiri gari mzuri.

The more the reason why such an income may forever elude you. Why? You ask. You have a peasant mentality. Basically what you think is important or a proper way of living life. Why for example dibt you mention starting a social enterprise that will change life or going back to school. Ni vizuri kujipanga lakini isiwe kujipanga ile ya kujisindilia zaidi into peasantry. Kuna kitu inaitwa perspective. Your perspective will be limited by where you live, who you associate with, where you socialize etc. Generally, how you approach life.
