Its surely gone for 2009, but I am to get a $500 service credit in the mail as we also have a 2007 LR3. Not sure if this was tied to being a repeat buyer.

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.

Your about there. Get 'em to throw in the rack, cross bars, rubber mats and a clear bra.

Take the Demo 2 Have all the packages and love them all. Nav system is great and the upgrade audio are well worth it.

Choice #2 is my suggestion. I have an 08 SE that I bought in October 2007 with the Tech and Bluetooth pkgs. I highly recommend both and especially love the DVD based GPS. I'm not sure if this is a true "GPS - Global Positioning System" as those typically don't require a DVD to produce maps and your location, but I'm thinking this is a great system if, due to the economy, what I'm hearing about GPS systems going bad in a few years due to lack of funding to send up new satellites becomes reality. I'd ask about it, but all in all I think it was worth the extra dough. Some people may say buy it without the GPS and you could install a portable one to take with you or if you ever sell the car (by that time though there may be better portable systems available).
 
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.

First of all, all GPS use the DVD for he map and the GPS Satellite puts your position on the map. The pricing is good - I've got 2 used LR2s priced in the high 20's. The dealer has them priced pretty close to a nothing deal. I am sure he does not have much more (if anything) to give.

By the way, Jaguar-Land Rover makes money when they sell the car to Jaguar-Land Rover North America. Jaguar-Land Rover North America makes it's money when a dealer is invoiced. The dealer makes it's money when it retails the vehicle.

All GPS use the DVD for the map? I assume your referring to the GPS systems in Land Rovers? TomToms, Garmins - neither of these uses a DVD - they're portable GPS systems. Spot - no DVD.
 
Regarding pricing - you mention high 20's - but not how high.To me, 27k is still high 20's and $2k is quite a bit of difference for someone who may have just enough to buy a Land Rover. Don't get me wrong 29k is a smokin' deal seeing how I dished out over $40k for mine, but I still think it's a few $$$ high seeing that '09s (in my area) start at $36k with 0 mileage and considering how the 08's he mentions were Demo cars.
 
lrguy44 - Do you know who owns/sends up the satellites that the Land Rover systems use? Is it NAVTEQ?

So the price just keeps going on from the primary source, as suspected. Now, if we could all just cut out the middle man, we could buy our cars for a LOT less.
