Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Land Rover LR3 Prices Paid and Buying Experiences

The Atlanta Dealerships claim that the "Landrover Way" is not to negotiate and they claim that everyone pays MSRP. In reading some of the posts here, its unclear to me. I would like to buy a brand new 08 LR3. My company participates in the X-Plan. I spoke with a local dealer and they said that X-plan will typically bring the price down to between $1,400 and $1,800 off of MSRP depending on the X-Plan type- A, Z, or X. That doesn’t seem like a tremendous amount to me and my first thought was well if I could negotiate the price, I could probably do better. My questions are – 1) Do dealers negotiate on price for new vehicles? 2) If so, is the X-Plan really a benefit or just smoke and mirrors? Thanks.

Replying to: blade5 (Feb 26, 2008 12:09 pm) I purchased two LR vehicles from the United Auto Group dealerships here in the Phoenix area. UAG throws in a small customer loyalty bonus that ranges from $500 to $1,000, and I think I got them to throw in the load area mat on my last LR3, which is a few bucks more. Otherwise, I don't try to drive a hard bargain as I want dealer support if I have a problem. So far so good. I think the other impediment to price shopping is that you usually can't play off one dealer against another unless you're willing to go outside your area. UAG owns both LR dealerships in Phoenix, and I'm not going to go out of town to save a few bucks. |

| After much research, i finally pulled the trigger on a 2008 LR3 HSE fully loaded. My final purchase was $54,979 on a $58,750 MSRP. I did all the negotiating via email or on the phone. I got a little nervous towards the end because their was only one HSE with the heavy duty package left in Southern CA. Every dealership was trying to get me into a SE. The buying experience at LR Mission Viejo was great! I'm enjoying the LR3 around town, but I ready to get it dirty up in Mammoth next weekend! | |

I'm in Northern Virginia and I'm looking to lease an HSE w/ the Lux package. Anyone know what the money factor / residuals are looking like? I'm looking at doing a 12k/yr for 24 to 36 months. If I can get them to take $55k or $2k off would I be getting a great deal or just so-so? Any idea what dealer incentives they have going on? Edmunds.com doesn't show any but both dealers have mentioned that there is some "lease cash" out there. I'm waiting on initial lease quotes from two dealers. No one is being terribly responsive. |

Just bought a "Executive Demo" from Chicago-land LR dealer with 5k miles. The MSRP sticker was $57,950, paid $41k, took about 3 minutes of negotation so I probably left a little money on the table as well for the dealer. The lease factors were horrible (30% residual and 9% interest rate for 36 months), so just bought it outright.

| I just drove the 2008 LR3 HSE. Nice vehicle but not the right vehicle for me. Salesman told me there is currently an $8000 incentive on the 2008 LR3s. Should be some great deals out there. Just FYI. I was at Paul Miller LR in Paramus, NJ. Good luck. | |

We got a 2005 SE for $21k before all the other fees at Hornburg on Sunset. At the time we bought, they offered to match any lower price on a comparable car at another dealer, so shopping around was a good deal. It was certified pre-owned, so came with a 75k mile warranty, and the truck itself was in immaculate condition. The carfax also came back clean, and the service at Hornburg was spot on with what one would expect from a high-end dealership. With the recent high price of gas, residual values of SUV's has tanked, so going pre-owned a year or two would save you a lot of money on the bottom line, and you'll still get a generally good vehicle. |
