I am looking for a new LR3 V6 in Atlanta/Birimingham area with the following options ( PP/RSP/RC) . IP 40237 / MSRP 44150 . There is a $1500 Incentive or 3.9% APR . Atlanta dealers say they will sell it for the sticker price - incentive , while a dealer in Birimingham offered sticker price - incentive - $1500 = 41200.
I am looking at a price of $40 K . Can I get it for that price ?? .
Also does V6 has enough power ?? Can someone clarify . 
Replies greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello: Reference the LR3 and purchasing the car at the factory. I am also a DOD employee living in Germany. Last week, I visited the factory at Sulihull and had a plant tour in the morning and three hours with an instructor at their off-road demonstration area. Although I had read that they were going to start factory pickups, I could not find anyone who knew anything about it.
The LR3 was very, very impressive. We were able to drive it through water to the top of the wheel well, up 45-degree slopes, and up to 30-degree side tilt. The factory was also very impressive after all the money that BMW and Ford have poured into the plant. The driving instruction was first rate.
Although I have owned discoveries in the past, I am still undecided. Nevertheless, the visit and drive have moved me very close to the purchase point. I am somewhat concerned about the lack of dealers in the West where we will move next year. Cheers, Mike

Yes, the 6 is great because of the six speed transmission. We get 13 around town and 19-22 highway. Car is heavy so city suffers. Real dual exhaust on 6 also. Very quiet-no vibration. Feels like more horsepower.

With no options at all you can get a LR3 S for 40k but you won't get leather interior, sunroofs or multidisk CD changer.

Just to let you know, bavarian boy, we were originally approved for financing from 3 different lenders and it pays to shop around even after the deal. The first was Service Credit Union which offered 7.89% (I know..i don't know what they were thinking) and that was with direct deposit!. The second was USAA which offered 5.5% and the third was Pentagon Federal which had an advertised online rate for 4.25%. By the time they got the note drawn up the rate shot to 4.5% when they finally sent out the check. I had to argue for over 20 minutes to get them to reduce (which they finally relented..as a *one time courtesy*) They dropped the ball as someone forgot to request certain financial information at the time of application which was sent by fax..I had proof of the initial date of application though so couple with tenacity (re: saying i wasn't going to get off of the phone unless the rate was changed..) This little bit of arguing saved approx. $600 initially according to the amortization program. Finally, we arrive to today, while on vacation in Garmisch, i came across a print ad for Service Credit Union which boasted 3.89% for New, Used, Refinanced, guaranteed or they pay you $100.00. Well a quick few phone calls and not only do i get to pay off the entire Pentagon Loan in less than a month but secured the new loan for 3.89% for the truck so chalk it up to a grand total of 776.40 in savings over the 60 month period which pays for the winch or the brush bar

Just picked up an '05 LR3 SE7 -- Nav,PDC, Rear Seat/Rear Climate, Lighting Package -- $47,808... Hornburg LR/Jag in Los Angeles is the best... Wish I could name names -- My salesperson was incredible, knowledgeable, helpful, straight-shooter. Gave me a great lesson in leasing-terms.

Thanks for the great deal and report on your purchase or was it indeed a lease? I hope to secure the same deal and similar options on an '06. May I ask how you secured the deal and/or strategies...end of the month, over-supply, etc.
Also, does anyone know when the '06s arrive and what experiences if any have you had on pre-ordering, etc...Thanks.

Gina6, It was a lease. Kind of a mix of good fortune and a bit of unorthodoxy -- Was initially looking at an HSE, as we are prone to buying out our leases if the car turns out to be reliable and thought "hey, get the best in case we end up living with it again for 8 years." Our salesperson could not 'do as much' with the HSE's price, but was able to shave off nearly $4000 on a loaded SE. Both cars were '05s and the '06s are due in about 6 weeks so I'm sure they were glad to simply move inventory. Also, pre-paid two-year lease which allowed for more discounts and reduced interest charges, topped-off by loyalty discount. Hope it helps.
