Really? Does that mean you know for a fact that dealers in Paramus sell LR2's at a significant discount over dealers in NY?
Just a funny note: When the LR2 came out last year and the price was a lot higher than the former Freelander (esp. the lease) I was really turned off to Land Rover so I went to look at the new Hummer H3; I went to Paramus because the only Hummer dealer in my area in NY was low on H3's and their lease price was horrible (they wanted 660/month for a 34,000 H3). Paramus was the same thing and the trip was a waste of time; they all acted like they were doing you a favor and the car was so "hot hot" that you would be lucky to get one. That's such a lame salesman ploy, don't you think? The thing is, I remember calling first to get "a feel" for Paramus dealers; they told me nothing on the phone but when I got there they told me everything I didn't want to hear: "the car was hot, hard to get, high lease price, blah blah blah. Come to think of it, I hate Paramus, lousy traffic too. I remember one guy there who introduced me to the boss after I told him his prices were simply too high. The "boss" shook my hand and then said: "But you really want the car, don't you?" I don't know, maybe that's how they have their fun. This year the prices of the H3 are much, much lower and the lease price is half of what it was, but I did finally drive it and it really sucks. Oh well.

I think it will only be amazing, once you take delivery at that price.. 
I hope it's accurate, but e-mail quotes tend to change...

There is something wrong with that price. Hidden costs once you sign maybe; something like that. Be careful.

Only "coupons" are sent to special groups - CEOs etc. and are not transferable. As for your deal, that is about invoice on a bare bones car (no CCP, LTG, or TEC). It may be one of the special punched service loaners that would give them a small profit.

I think the guy is saying this deal is for a loaded 08 SE with all options and the car has zero miles (brand new, not a loaner or dealer car), no gimmicks, for 29,000. Could you tell me the name of the dealership so I can call them and buy one, because this price is unbelievable. The only explanation is that the LR US dealers actually get their cars from LR for about 25,000 and the dealer who is selling it to you is only making 4,000 where he would normally make about 14,000 per car. You think that's believable? Who knows, maybe they get them for 19,950 and sell them for 39,950 to a bunch of gulible Americans who think driving a LR ( well, rebadged Freelander) makes them feel special. I've heard of stranger things, who knows.

Rebadged Freelander is a misnomer - it is a completely different car - not 1 interchangeable part. If those invoice numbers you (in jest) threw out were true I would have retired a long time ago. I think he is blowing smoke. Did you ever hear anyone actually say they got a bad deal?

Yeah, I know it's not a Freelander, I was kind of alluding to the fact that it supposedly "replaced" the Freelander, which would lead one to believe that it is an "economical" entry level car, and clearly it is not. However, if it was for sale at 29,000, as the poster claims, then I would dare say, it actually is "economical". But you and I both know no LR dealer in his right mind is going to sell a loaded SE to anyone for 29,000. Why? Because he doesn't have to, there are just too many people who will gladly pay 39,950. besides, a dealer would sell it to himslef and then sell it on the weekend to his brother in law and make a tidy profit. When was the last time you heard of a dealer who wasn't interested in maximum profits? When was the last time hell froze over?
