How much money would someone with a Range Rover usually earn?
I am an international student and in my country the taxes are like 300% on imported cars, and I don't have any idea what kind of people in UK drive range rovers. I am hopefully moving to the UK, and just curious, how much would a person driving a range rover would usually earn? The car has a base price of 61000 pounds to give you an idea...

It depends on whether or not it's a brand new '12 plate or an older model. Could also depend on the job itself. My dad's only ever kept cars for three years and gets a brand new one after those three years, because he has a company car and that's their policy - give people at his level a new car every 3 years and sell the cars on after. Rinse and repeat. He has a good job, but no way would he be able to afford our Jaguar if he'd had to buy it. However, he'd be able to afford a second-hand, slightly older model.

There's a bloke (presumably) near me with 2 old ones on his drive covered in carp fishing magazine stickers. He doesn't seem particularly rich, just enthusiastic about range rovers (and carp fishing)
I guess the new ones that look like they've never been further off road than sainsbury's car park are owned by the new rich , especially if they've got the chrome speed gills on the side.

A Chelsea Tractor? They'd be unemployed, but their husband would be earning at least half a million a year.

The husbands drive fancy cars or BMWs/Mercs etc, the wives drive range rovers.
It's popular to drive range rovers, but they have a certain reputation

aristocrats are in the old range rover camp. Just substitue the carp fishing stickers for BASC and national trust ones and throw a dog blanket in the back.

Absolutely not, buy a classy car. Range rovers are for farmers and suburban women who feel scared on the road. Usually awful drivers.
Landrovers are class less.
The queen owns and drives a landrover for starters. There's also plenty of scumbags that own then and any demographic you care to think of in between.
Heck, I've had at least 3 that I can think of? (Although that doesn't mean to say I like them - I just need one once a year for the winter when it snows).

where did you get the base price of £61k from?
if you check there most expensive one is 69k and the defender @ 21k

also a person earning £1 a year could afford one if he knew the right people.
so like most things it could range from £1 - £2m+

I agree, but one important distinction I've found is on my rural turf it's all Range Rover Vogue models as opposed to Range Rover Sport models in urban areas.

o yer my bad... they start at 28.6k then
Agree that range rovers are for suburban housewives or farmers. Unless they have tinted windows and big rims, in which case they're the vehicle of choice for drug dealers.
