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.

Have the dealers started coming down on price, or are the HSEs still pulling full sticker? We're just about ready to buy...
Thanks...

Looking to join the Land Rover family

I'm replacing my wife's 95 Mitsubishi Montero and have narrowed the search down to Lexus GX470 and LR3. I'm intrigued by the LR3 and just noticed an $1500 incentive on V8 models that might sway me considering the Lexus folks are quite proud of their product (and the prices reflect that!) Does anyone have a V6 LR3 and is it worth saving about $1500 when you consider the V8 incentive? My Mitsubishi is also painfully slow so it wouldn't be a big change. Thanks.

The 6 is awesome! The six-speed transmission really helps and it is really quick enough for us. Mileage still not great so far-13-14 in city. We have the white/alpaca which is nice.o problems yet at 3 weeks/1000 miles. Impressed that it has real dual exhausts and the car is a head turner. Purchased at Darien land Rover in CT. 24 month lease. $575 monthly inclusing sales,personal property tax and $4500 down which included $503 for hitch and wiring. Good luck!! (Way better to get the first year of a car that will look new for awhile than one of the last years of a model's life which is true of the Lexus)

I don't know for sure if you can buy under the same program i purchased. I'm overseas and a Dept of Def. employee so it is an incentive however most companies such as BMW, Porsche, Volvo, Saab, Mercedes, Audi and maybe Land Rover have such incentive programs such as European Delivery. Land Rover offers free home shipping too which, for example, BMW does not but with BMW, it's worked into the price of the car (about 760$ U.S. through E.H. Harms in Munchen shipped from Bremerhaven to stateside).
Your best bet is to contact land rover directly at their website and see if they have Euro delivery. Wait time is nothing for SE's in the showrooms. About 6 months for custom built and ordered cars. It is an expensive car in Europe because of engine displacement and insurance so they aren't selling very well in Germany.
Euro delivery usu. saves you about $3000-$10000 U.S. which in turn pays for your trip overseas to pick up the car. They usu. give you euro plates and insurance for approx. 30 days where you can enjoy it, then you drive it to a delivery point which preps, ships and sends to your stateside dealer for pickup. It's worth it if it's an option to you. The other option is eBay
