Howdy! New here, so please be patient!
  
Wanting to lease an LR3. Nothing down. 750 + fico. Sticker price is $54,945. We have an x-plan price of $52,039. Plenty of income.
  
What type of money factor should I expect?
  
(I keep getting quotes of 0.00329 or so, which seems really high! I would hate to get a great deal, then get hosed on the financing!!!)

Yes, that translates to over 7.8%. I just got a quote on a lease factor from a dealer of .0025 for a 36-month lease on an SE, 57% residual, 15K miles per year. It was .0029 for a 48 month lease. They may vary the money factor depending on the model (SE vs. HSE), length of lease, and allowed miles. Check out www.leasecompare.com; also www.fleetrates.com; they have much lower money factors. FYI, Land Rover Capital also has an option to pay the lease up front in a lump sum; they will give you a discount on the money factor of between 10-30% depending on the term of the lease.

I have dealt with Hoffman Estate time to time. I wish I leaved closer to them. Unfortunately i am close to Lake Bluff Land Rover and their service is not so good.
On couple of occasions, I chose to waste time and take my car to Hoffman Estate. I also tried to buy Land Rover twice from Lake Bluff and they treat me poorly and giving me ridiculously expensive offers. Land Rover of Winnetka and Barrington (Barrington location is closed now, some of sales people were moved to Hoffman Estate) were a lot better about trying to get my business. I am sure when it is time to replace my Land Rover I will go to one of those places
 
I hope it is useful

Price paid, buying experience by kandg

Paid $47,785 for HSE7 in Buckingham Blue/ Black Interior. Optioned with cold weather package, convenience package, Rear Seat Package, Towing Package..basically came with everything else..Lighting, Navigation, upgraded wheels (terrible tire choice though) Lexicon DSP etc. Deleted the rear seat dvd player as i like to do my own installation in this area (preference of proprietary hardware) Only thing wished for was the cooler box but realized that a regular cooler was just as good.
 
Will add Brush guard, Roof Rack, Winch, Skid plates if anyone can point me in a preferable direction.
 
Wishes..if only Rover offered a cloth/synthetic interior. not a fan of leather or it's upkeep. Delete options such as auto sensing wipers (not a big fan of them). That's pretty much it
 
Others considered, Volvo XC90 v8 and BMW X5 3.0, 4.4 and 4.8is
 
Volvo test drive: Overboosted steering but nice comfort and ergonomics. Engine seemed a bit peaky and noisier. Seems everyone has a volvo. Wanted something a little more unique.
 
BMW..3 litre only one with manual option (big plus). but good torque best fuel economy here.but fully optioned was more expensive than the LR3 ..v8's when optioned were hard to justify price esp. considering the only difference between the 6 and 8 cylinders was 1 second in acceleration time. towing capacities were the same across the board. Have BMW's already so wanted to try a different marque.
 
LR3: Buying experience as simple as our previous experience buying BMW. Fill out sheet, check off what you want, locate your financing and put $1000 down to commit to the build. Pick up car on assigned date. Couldn't be easier or simpler. Why would you want to shop any other way.
 
Each of the trucks were pretty equivalent when fully optioned but the LR3 was the best value:
 
Ford PAG deep pockets R&D
Rover heritage
BMW suspension development, lighting and various other technologies
Jaguar motor
 
pretty decent lineages!

kandg, I gotta ask... how did you get a $47K price for a loaded HSE configuration? That's a $54K MSRP or ~$49K "invoice" LR3. It's not like loaded LR3s are collecting dust on dealer's lots!

Hi Grommet, i notice you also post on another rover forum, sorry if some of the questions i asked here were redundant..regarding the price i paid, i am overseas and there is an expatriate program available to us that allows us to buy at a very good discount. Program is similar to European delivery offered by all the euro nameplates such as Volvo, BMW, Porsche, Mercedes etc. After buying several cars and brands overseas, I would never ever consider purchasing from a stateside dealer again. Ordering a car to spec from the factory is a much better buying experience. Also, you save $$$ . I recently picked up the Euro Sat Nav Disc for 32 BP Sterling..and saved about $330 U.S. from the dealer price. I played with the Nav system extensively for the first time and even though it is comprehensive, the aftermarket ones (such as Hertz "neverlost") are just as good and actually easier to use. So that might be something for other future LR3 owners/buyers to consider. Another tiny annoyance is the need to "agree" to the Land Rover Lawyer Collective, everytime you start the truck and Nav System. I would also prefer a combo touchscreen and column stalk input device such as those on BMW's and Volvo's.
