You are in the Land Rover Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
After many nights researching and comparing I finally went with the LR2. Thought hard about the MB 330, L350, XC70 and X3. After test driving all 5 there was no question about going with the LR2. Special ordered the no cost 18" rims. I only had to compare costs and tire options available in the 18" vs 19" to go with the 18". After 3 months I have to say I like the LR2 better every time I drive it. Have had it in deep snow, ice, mud, potholes and interstate. It's just plain fun to drive. The straight 6 engine takes me back to my old torquey Chevy. No problems so far. Wish they would have stayed with the free 50,000 mi maintenance.

I did not get a response on the prices paid forum so I though I'd post my message here. I have 2 choices for a possible purchase and some advice would be great: #1: Offer for a Demo 08 LR2 HSE model with cold climate package, 10,000 miles, for $26,000. #2: Demo 08 LR2 HSE with cold climate, technology, and bluetooth packages, 8,000 miles, $29,000 Which one should I go for (is the nav system and upgraded audio worth it?) and are these pretty good deals or should I strive to get lower? Thanks in advance. |

Replying to: rocknroll389 (May 22, 2009 9:20 am) I moved from San Diego, CA to NY so I was a bit bummed after realizing I hadn't purchased the cold climate package, but I didn't think the cost was worth it seeing how I hadn't planned on moving out of San Diego - whoops. That being said, I would strive for a lower price. I just received a newletter this evening from my local dealer for an Demo '09 HSE with about 3,000 miles on it for only $29,895 (no options) and a Demo '09 HSE with Bluetooth and Satellite Radio for $32,495. I think with the mileage at 8k, you should be able to get about $3-4k knocked off of that price since they'll do what it takes to get rid of all the left over '08s and seeing how they were Demo vehicles. With those prices though, you're already saving about $12k from what I paid new in '07 for my SE. It's definitely a buyer's market right now and Tata Motors needs to pay back quite a bit more on their +/- $3 billion dollar loans. Not sure how pricing gets back to Tata Motors at this point though or if it's straight back to the dealership.
