I'm PISSED. Not that I expect the salesguy to be totally forthcoming, but I"m sitting there for 1/2 hour with the SRE booklet in my hands and we're looking at the SEs and he mentions....in passing as I leave....that "Oh, the SREs have a spoiler and, uh, matching side trim for like $80 bucks more a month"....Not having a clue at the time, and now having done my research, I feel the SEs will absolutely be phased out and the SRE is a product correction. I don't think I'm getting this car after reviews I've read and I quote on the Volvo XC90 SUV for only $50 more a month....

The differences between the SE and the HSE (not SRE) are cosmetic to bring the car more upscale. The drivetrain, safety features etc. are the same in both cars. The SE is phased out (no more production) but is priced to be an excellent value. We are still selling many more SEs than HSEs because of the price point.

Just got it last night...
 
2008 Land Rover LR2 HSE - Stornoway Grey with Ebony
All three packages (lighting, Tech, and Cold-limate)
 
MSRP was 41,400
 
Car price was
38,625 + taxes (WA taxes are 8.9%, I think), Destination ($625)
4.9% financing through Land Rover Capital
 
They are having a awesome deal on LR2s right now 9as well as LR3s and non-supercharged range rovers (sport or not) and jaguars (1% over invoice on all) for the next few days. you have to be a resident in the area though, I think.
 
Accesories were extra on top of that price... Ski Rack, Rear compartment mat, mudflaps, 3M chip protection, and resist-all were all our add ons.
 
We are leaving on a trip over the mountains today so we are pumped to see what she can do...
 
I would definately recommend Seattle Land Rover (in lynnwood). Good people.
 
Although they didn't let my wife keep the bow that was on it when we got there. She was a little upset about that.

Congratulations,
 
Thanks for posting the details.
I have been thinking about the LR2 for quite a while. Just worried about reliability & living 5 hour (round trip) from closest dealer.
Don't think I can get that good of a deal here.
 
Please keep posting about your experience with your new HSE.
 
I would have wanted the bow too!
Have a safe trip.
Thanks, Janie

Well another selling point fo rus is that we literally drive by the dealership every day. It is less than a mile away.
 
They actually told us we can stop in and have the car washed whenever... not sure they thought about that comment before saying it.
 
The only issue we have had thus far (~12 miles in) is that the new ski racks whistle when you drive the car. I will be removing them before our trip. Not sure how to fix it though... any ideas?

Yeah I had the roof rails and crossbars put on my lr2 hse and have noticed some wind noise. I haven't put on the ski racks, but can imagine a fair amount more noise. I doubt there's a way to fix it unless Thule comes out with a front wind deflector. If its not too difficult I'll probably just remove the crossbars inbetween snow trips. Do you if the crossbars are easy to remove?

So I think I may have a solution for the whistling...
 
When we got the car there were these rubber things that came with the car and I wasn;t sure what they were. I figured it out though... They go in the track of the cross bar where the ski rack attachments slide into. I am not sure if you can cut them and place the pieces to fit into the track with the ski rack brackets or what but I may try to do that in the near future (when we evenatually go up skiing.
 
The rover had an awesome road test going through the recent feet of snow in the passes this last weekend. The tires never slipped once! Had the snow setting on just incase as we were driving over snow and ice for the majority of the 4 hour trip.
 
we got about 19.3 MPG... I wonder if any of that had to do with the snow...
