it depends, you can't add the tech pack or cold pack after you take delivery. it hard to install, even if they did, the install cost would not be worth it. buy what you budget will allow, if not happy with that level, or trim level and options, then this may not be the vehicle for you. I was set in just getting the lr2 with cold pack. But I really loved the nav etc on the demo. All previous cars, I've always held back - oh, I'll get that opion next time, or I'll give that up or that up. this time, I said NO. I'm getting what I want and be happy, and not have to live with, I wish I had this or that.  Plus, I had them in stall running boards, ipod adapter, and the side door protectors. Not regrets - very a happy. Or I will be in about a week when I get it. If you taking the time to research what you want for a car, ensure you do that with they options as well, you won't regret it. |

Replying to: verdugo (May 25, 2007 9:04 am) But I believe there is truth to all the "out of area" talk. I live in Houston, and when I couldn't get a deal I thought was good from the 2 dealers here (owned by the same corporation) I started contacting dealers further away. A friendly sales guy in San Antonio told me that Land Rover discourages selling out of area by penalizing dealers on some of their marketing incentives. He also indicated that I might get "poor" service from my local dealer when I took it in for maintenance. He advised me to keep working out a deal with my local dealers and as a last resort start looking out of area. I thought this all sounded strange, but why would he advise me to go to another dealer? Then I started to negotiate with a dealer near New Orleans. When he found out I live in Houston, he told me he was unable to sell me a car. I got so discouraged with the Land Rover experience I wound up buying another car. Anyone can get a good deal on a Chevy or a Mazda if they shop around, but with Land Rover you're at the mercy of your local dealer. |

Chevy or Mazda - not even in the same ball park, much less of any interest to purchase one of them or any big 3 for that matter.

Maybe a way to get around the dealers telling you that they won't sell because you live out of area is to tell them you plan on moving to THEIR area, which for me is true. I live in NY currently, but I am getting out of here before another winter blast, so I don't think I should be regulated to buying a vehicle around here because I will never have it serviced in NY again I'm sure. I made a few inquiries to dealerships, 1 of the 3 said they could not work with me because I am not in their area. I still am leaning towards the CA dealership if a more local one won't come close to the lowest price I can find elsewhere. I agree, I should just get what I want in terms of options I suppose. I really want to cold package. The nav system seems like an unnecessary luxury although I do want it. |

Brought ours at The Automaster in Shelburne, Vermont. Best dealership around, in our opinion. We've purchased three cars from them in five years - a Freelander HSE, a SuperCharged Range Rover, and now the LR2. And judging by the number assigned to the car out of the factory, I have the first LR2 manufactured for the US market! We paid roughly $39500 for it, loaded with every package available as well as mud flaps, wood interior trim kit, driving lamps, cargo nets, rub strips, and (as soon as its available) luggage rack. I love it, but then I'm a Rover fan. My dream car is an old Defender! lol
