All, My 2002 Range Rover was going out of warranty and a lease on another car was expiring so I need two cars at once. Maybe I could have even done better going out of state (I am in FL) but what LR did was unbelievable on the 2008 BRAND NEW LR3s: 2008HSE Java Black with Satellite radio and full (three row plus cargo) heavy duty LR rubber mats: Sticker: $55,600 Bought: $39,500 2008 SE Gray with bi-xenons and satellite radio and full rubber mats as above Sticker: $50,800 Bought $34,500 These are less than 4Runner prices! Even better, my dealers were honest and told me to buy my land rover assured exclusionary extended warranty (including tire road hazard coverage) out-of-state because there was a $1K rebate that Florida dealers could not honor. So, contacted a Colo. dealer and got the 7year/100K max warranty for each car, with the $1K rebate, and the dealer even gave an additional $400 off for each warranty (total, $3,600 each). Still not cheap but way off retail prices for these warranties. I bought before Dec 31 but I think there are still deals like this, if you can still find any 2008s. Also, the 2008s included the first six factory services for free and the 2009s do not. What amazing deals, unheard of for LR (I have been a LR owner since 1995 and never seen anything like it). Even got the 1.9% 60 month financing on one of them! LandRoverGuy, Florida

Replying to: FlaGuy4runner (Feb 27, 2009 10:36 am) also, did you buy them in FLA? What is the best state to purchase in? I want a used 2008 LR3 and have found 30 within 50 miles of me but they all seem priced around $36k? any thoughts on what I should be paying?

Replying to: parkaveslacker (Feb 28, 2009 6:08 pm) I bought at Land Rover Fort Lauderdale and Land Rover North Dade, these are in south Florida. The Colorado dealer I got the warranties from said he had new 2008 LR3s at similar or maybe even higher discounts (but I prefer a good relationship with a dealer close by). I think it was Land Rover Flatirons. These were over 2 months ago, though, so I don't know what is available. It is true that, on Auto Trader, I did see used 2008s priced higher than what I paid, but if there are no new ones left then you are stuck. Good luck! Guy |

Hi, My LR3 lease is up in May. It doesn't look like any good lease rates on the horizon, so am looking to purchase my next LR3. I have started my search early as I want to take advantage of the low prices on the '08 LR3 demo's. "Red Tag" prices are around $36k, but one dealer told me that they are working with every client on price. I have asked them to come in at $30k for a '08 LR3 SE demo w/ cold climate and blue tooth (MSRP of around $51k). Two questions to the forum: 1) is it realistic to expect a dealer to go down to $30k? 2) should I be in a hurry to buy or will the current inventory of '08's not deplete until May (and increase my negotiating leverage)?

Replying to: enya07 (Mar 06, 2009 5:35 am) BE CAREFUL ON THE DEMOS, though. These vehicles are already in-service for warranty purposes. On the two demos my dealer could locate, mileage was low (around 5-6K) but one year of the warranty had expired. This is a huge issue given the cost and, sometimes, frequency of repairs. If you plan to buy and trade in a couple of years, no problem. If you keep for a long time like I do (I warrantied mine for 7/100K), or if you private sell to maximize your value, then this is a real issue and, to me, more than worth it to pay more for brand new and have the full warranty. Good hunting! |

Just bought a 2008 LR3 with Bluetooth and Cold Climate Package for $37.5k new in the SF Bay Area. I felt I might have saved a bit more but it was a long day as they attempted to take a trade in on my 99 Discovery Series II (70k miles) at $2k to make up the margin. In the end I separated the deals (kept the Series II for now) and didn't budge on price. They had 3 new LR3s on the lot and I got the gray/black exterior/interior colors I sought. So far I am happy on the car (at $14k below MSRP) and hope to drive it for the next 10 years like my last one. Now I need to find some of the aftermarket accessories at a better price. |

One week ago I got a 2008 LR3 SE with all options (technology package, sirius and telephone integration, cold climate package, bi-xenon head lights). The car was a demo with 3,300 miles has the full warrantly as if new and includes dealer service I think every 7,500 miles. Final price was $33k. I think that this is a great deal and an easy as can be transaction. It was listed for $34k and I offered $33k maybe I could have squeezed out another couple hundred bucks but I had been looking for a few weeks and was getting tired of the game. Love the car and will keep our fingers crossed on LR issues that everyone mentions. At this price much cheaper than a lease, should be worth about $16-$18k after 3 years and 36k miles.
