vehicle description:
HERE I HAVE SIMPLY STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER & BEST RUGGED 4X4 ON THE ROAD IN MY OPINION THE Ssangyong REXTON, COMES WITH MEGA SPEC & RARE AUTO DIESEL & ALSO COMES WITH BOTH KEYS & FULL BOOKPACK WITH ALL MANUALS INC THE HISTORY FILE WITH PROOF OF 5 SERVICES, PLUS SHE COMES WITH A VALUABLE PRIVATE PLATE.
SHE DRIVES ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT FAULT & ITS BODYWORK IS STUNNING, FINISHED IN BLACK PANTHER PEARL WITH IMMACULATE FULL BLACK LEATHER, SHE REALLY LOOKS STUNNING & EVERYTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD INCLUDING ALL ELECTRICS.
THIS REALLY IS LOVELY CAR TO OWN AND DRIVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION ESPECIALLY FOR 13 YEAR OLD 4X4, BUT IS TESTAMENT TO ITS DRIVERS CARE & ATTENTION, SHE IS SIMPLY IMMACULATE IN EVERY WAY.
THIS CAR DRIVES ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT FAULT IS VERY QUICK WHEN NEEDED, IDEAL FOR SOMEONE THAT STILL WANTS SOMETHING REFINED AND PRESTIGIOUS YET CAN GO ANYWHERE WITH A LOAD WHEN NEEDED & I MEAN ANYWHERE.
THIS IS SIMPLY SUPERB BOTH INSIDE AND OUT & A VERY RARE FIND INDEED IN THIS SPEC WITH AUTO DIESEL, FOR THOSE THAT DONT KNOW THIS HAS THE PROVEN MERCEDES V6 2.7Ltr Diesel Engine & Box. ALSO CHEAP ROAD TAX FOR A 4X4.
Introduction
We all love a bargain. There are, however, some cars that seem almost too inexpensive. Think that"s not possible? You need to try buying a used Ssangyong REXTON. Believe me, you will end up feeling strangely guilty at how little you"ve paid and how much you"ve ended up with. That"s not a function of terrible residual values either, the REXTON being fairly healthy in this regard. It"s just down to the fact that Ssangyong seem to have priced the REXTON a good few thousand pounds cheaper than it by all rights should be, when new, resulting in even more outrageous savings for the used buyer. If metal for your money is a priority and you want something nigh-on new, the REXTON makes a very interesting bet.
History
Few cars sold in modern times have quite such a convoluted history as the Ssangyong REXTON. It was first "introduced" to the British public in 2001 although internal wranglings within Ssangyong meant that none were officially sold here in the UK. Ssangyong were then swallowed up by Daewoo who sold a few Musso and Korando 4x4s and even threw a press launch for the Daewoo REXTON but again never officially sold a car here. General Motors" buy out of Daewoo came at a cost for the Ssangyong marque as it was cast adrift. A separate distributor, SYUK, then took up the reins in 2003, finally offering the REXTON for sale on these shores. At first the range consisted of versions of the RX290 turbodiesel and RX320 petrol powered model. In summer 2004 a more advanced diesel engine was also made available in the shape of the 270Xdi version.
What You Get
Whereas the Musso and the Korando were never much more than oddly styled curiosities, the REXTON looks to have a good deal more in its favour. It"s been on sale since summer 2001 in its domestic market, and has trounced its key rival, the Hyundai Terracan, despite production capacity being initially limited by having to share a line with the Musso. Work on the REXTON began in 1998 at the Ssangyong R&D Centre in Pyungtaek. Although ItalDesign was initially commissioned to produce a clay mock up, the Koreans felt the design was too conservative and worked on it in-house. The result is certainly striking although some may spot definite Mercedes M-Class influences in its profile - itself no bad thing. Step inside and you"ll be impressed by the finish. Certain fittings look very familiar, although let"s diplomatically say that if not copied, then many switches and layouts have been inspired by Volkswagen Group products - itself no bad thing. The REXTON may be slated to compete with Discoverys and Shoguns but its pricing puts it alongside Family 4x4s from the slightly more utilitarian class below where you"ll find models like Mitsubishi"s truck-based Shogun Sport and yes, the Hyundai Terracan. Just as well then that the ambiance is reminiscent of the more upmarket class. All three models are available in seven seat trim and the interior isn"t cramped due to a long wheelbase with tidy overhangs. The seating arrangements are versatile and there"s no shortage of cubbies and storage areas. The neat door bin bottle holders are a neat touch as is the dash-mounted pen holder and ticket clips in the sun visors. The way the rear wiper arm automatically retracts downwards to keep it out of the way of the flip-up rear window is also something to impress your otherwise puzzled friends with.
On the Road
Although the REXTON rides well on road, it"s not been designed for exclusive blacktop use. On tarmac, it defaults to rear wheel drive operation but the push of a button forces the Borg Warner transfer case to engage either high range four-wheel drive for when things get a little slippery or low-range four-wheel drive for those occasions when you really need to lug yourself out of a spot.
The REXTON is built around a proper industrial strength ladder-framed chassis construction. Although immensely strong, most rivals have abandoned this architecture in favour of monocoque chassis structures that give a more car-like drive. Given the REXTON"s luxury pretensions it seems a trifle odd that it uses this he-man set up but the upside is that it feels almost indestructible when taken off road and the wheel articulation will get you out of many a tight spot. It"s ride on tarmac isn"t the smoothest but if you need a 4x4 that looks good but can still walk the walk when the going gets tough, the REXTON is a good value bet.
Overall
New sales of Ssangyong"s REXTON have demonstrated that there are quite a few customers out there who want a big, shiny 4x4 but don"t want to fork out telephone number figures for the privilege. That"s good news for the used buyer who wants to capitalise still further. The RX290 and RX320 models that represent the bulk of used stock both have something to be said for them, but the best model in the range, the 270Xdi is still very hard to track down. Whichever model you opt for, that smug feeling you"ll get when you see a premium-priced rivals come the opposite way is worth the price of admission alone.
The only real negative is the mileage display has stopped working approx 5000 miles ago, was reading roughly 97,000 at the last mot, so to be safe I have put the mileage at approx 105,000 miles but will have done less.
SO SURELY THE ONE TO HAVE ESPECIALLY IN LOVELY BLACK PEARL, IF YOU LET THIS 4X4 GO WHEN YOUR SERIOUS ABOUT ONE YOU"D HAVE TO BE FOOL AS THEY GENERALLY DON"T COME UP LIKE THIS ON EBAY ESPECIALLY WITH THIS SORT PROVENIENCE, SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY COMMAND PREMIUM ON AUTOTRADER SITES AND THE LIKE, THATS IF YOU CAN FIND ONE AT THIS SORT OF MONEY WITH THIS LEVEL OF SPEC & AUTO DIESEL, THEY GENERALLY START AT AROUND £3,000+ & THATS NOT WITH THIS LEVEL OF SPEC & AS I SAY AN AUTOMATIC AS WELL WITH THE MERCEDES DIESEL ENGINE.
I ENCOURAGE VIEWINGS SO PEOPLE CAN FULLY APPRECIATE WHAT STUNNING EXAMPLE THIS IS HOWEVER FULLY APPRECIATE SOME PEOPLE LIVE TO FAR AWAY, SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EBAY MESSAGE ME WITH AS MANY QUESTIONS AS YOU LIKE.
MANY THANKS & GOOD LUCK
