Thanks in advance.

To be honest, this delay in finding the vehicle has given me time to rethink the whole purchase. This would have been my first Land Rover purchase, and I am stretching it to begin with in terms of the payment.
I am still in the market for a new vehicle. I am now looking at a used 2002 Range Rover and a 2004 Discovery. I really want a Land Rover.
Less then one percent of our 2005 LR3's have had stalling problems and only one has had fuel leak out of the tank.
Possible british_rover might give me some quotes?
I'm thinking $46k out the door.
What do you think?
I have been a Land Rover owner for 10 years. Just traded in my 2003 LR Disco SE for a 2005 LR3 HSE. Alveston Red/Black interior, Cold Climate Package, Convenience Package, Adaptive Lights, Cooler Box. Paid 48, 545. Love it so far. Very different from all the Rovers I have owned. Ride is incredible. Just hope I get used to this new direction Rovers are headed in.
Will Keep You Informed.

Thanks for the help!
The option code was CBX.
As mentioned, the cooler box was a stand alone option on the '05. The owner loyalty option did apply to me; so, that should be taken into account. If I were to order the car from scratch, I don't think I would have ordered a cooler box. Just picked the vehicle out of dealer stock. The adaptive lights are awesome. I recommend those to anybody. If you keep the lights on "auto"; you get a little dance when you start the vehicle at night. It's a fun toy. I purchased from Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Hope that helps.
You can get a 5-seat SE trim -- the 3rd row and cooling costs you $2200.

Land Rover Leasing is offering this deal - not many dealers were familiar with it but once I educated them - they all came back with the same or even lower pricing.
Dealers in Massachusetts who offered me this deal include : Hanover, Sudbury and Boylston.
Good luck!

I just signed a PO for a Silver/Black 2005 SE with every option (minus cooler box and adaptive headlights but with wood trim) for $45,500 and that one had 6,000 miles on it.
It wasn't "offically" a loaner since the GM was driving it so I didn't get the benefit of the write off as a loaner (another dealer transferred it).
You got the HSE badge (if you care, memory seats, lux package,adaptive headlights, and better sound system, for only $500 more than I paid.
You did well and hopefully like the car.
MSRP $55,095
Black/Alpaca
All options (less Cooler Box)
Selling price ==> $45,795 - that's $9,300 off list. Plus they threw in the rubber mats!
I think it's a great deal. My only concern is that the truck will have the gas tank replaced prior to delivery. Should I be worried? I take delivery later this week. (The truck was built in 6/05)
I do this with all of my cars just to be on the safe side. Easier to have the techs fix a problem that crops up at 40 miles while I am driving it then at 40 miles when you are driving it.
One question: does anyone have any insights on when or if Land Rover will again offer a wood veneer accessory kit for the LR3? Dealer said unsold inventory of prior kits was recalled by Land Rover, but if Land Rover is not going to offer similar kits in the future, I would try to find one that has not been sent back.
He had another source that had nicer looking wood choices. My dash is real wood with a clear coat on top, very similar to both of my Mercedes (traded the ML500 on the LR3).
I am totally pleased with the look of the wood and it is warranted as as long as I own my vehicle. Since I wasn't totally sure on which wood type/color that I wanted, the salesman took me to a new Range Rover and showed me what a "darker" wood looked like. It was nice but if the LR3's original wood kit was like the Range Rover, it has a rather dull non-glossy look. It's OK, but I like the glossy better.
The wood package retailed at $750. I picked a burled walnut which is a medium dark and very rich looking. Since I have the Alpaca (tan) leather, the tan, grey composite components and black dash are really set off by the warm tones of the glossy walnut. I highly recommend it as it is gorgeous.

(includes wood package, Dual DVD package and side runners) 18k miles priced at $44k. Is this a good deal? Please help.

Here's how the deal went down. I had to shop around as my local dealer would not come close to the price I negotiated in Sudbury for a new '05 HSE. The salesman origoanly offered me $7000 off the 55k sticker (year end deal). I then asked him to match an $8000 discount I was offered on a $47K '05 SE V8 (no lighting package) at my local dealership. (This is not the same optioned truck, but it showed me that there was room to play.) He matched the offer. I also had a year end $1500 coupon from Land Rover that I brought into play at the beginning of my sales negotiation (both sales reps said I could use the coupon for the purchase of the '05). It was a no brainer, so I put a deposit on the HSE in Sudbury for $9500 off MSRP. When I returned to Sudbury to sign the final purchase agreement, my sales rep discovered that the coupon was only good on '06 models. He was very apologetic, but I held my ground. I pointed out the large $1500 gap in our undrstaning of the purchase price. I then indicted that I needed to leave to take some time to think it over with my wife (I had the whole family with me). Within 5 minutes of leaving the dealership, I got a call on my cell indicating the dealer would increase the discount to $9300 making up most of the difference. Done deal! End of story!
It sounds like your price is comparable less the $1500 coupon. It may just have been my day or the dealership didn't want to lose the sale. I'm not sure which, however I'm very happy with the final price. I'm also certain that the dealer made money. I picked up the Truck last weekend. My wife loves it. It will be her Truck. I get the '93 MB 300E w/250k miles (great car!).
With current exchange rate at 1.1206 (CA buys US) the Canadian Dealers seem to be pocketing a large difference in the cost of the vehicle....
1st column: US MSRP
2nd Column: CA MSRP
3rd Column: What the cost should be using today's exchange rate
4th Column: the difference in cost between the US MSRP and if I bought it in CA$ today at a US dealer. (Ie. how much more we are paying in Canada)
Model / US MSRP / CA MSRP / adjusted / Difference
LR3 v6 $39,000.00 $53,900.00 $43,703.40 $10,196.60
LR3 SE $45,700.00 $61,900.00 $51,211.42 $10,688.58
LR3HSE $53,700.00 $67,900.00 $60,176.22 $7,723.78
Even assuming the exchange rate is abnormally low right now, can someone hypothesize how the dealer rationalizes the differences?
Just in case anyone is interested, I did this same comparison with the Porsche Cayenne and it is much more of a difference! LINK : dandrews1, "Porsche Cayenne: Prices Paid & Buying Experiences" #311, 6 Feb 2006 9:19 am
