So if you want a good deal, contact Denver Land Rover East and ask for the guy that was the sales manager in January and tell him you want a deal like the guy that bought the Silver/Alpaca V8 SE on April 19th.
What do you afficionados think? All comments welcome, and thanks!
I am seeing newspaper and online ads for leases at around $400/month, with a $5000 initial payment for LR3 V8 SEs with MSRPs at $50,000 (no rear seat, or no navigation), so the numbers they qupted me didn't seem too far off. Do you think I can get a better monthly payment or negotiate for a lower drive off fee?
Does anyone have any feedback about the Hornburg, Encino, or South Bay dealerships here in the LA area? (appointment times, service departments, loaner policy, off-road events, etc.)
I will take delivery in 2 to 3 weeks. So far the service from the sales department has been excellent. :shades:
They provided an LR3 for a full day to allow me to test drive with my family.
Thanks
I just paid a flat $36,000.00 for a new 2006 LR3 with V6, SE Premium Package, and Cold Weather Package. I am hoping this was a pretty good deal. I hate to part with too much $$$ for a car...

And there is my issue. When I decided to buy a LR3, I looked all over the internet for any mention of any factory to dealer incentives. Every place I looked (Edmunds, KBB, ect) all said "No incentives at this time."
Yet I KNEW there had to be incentives out there because a number of dealerships were advertising $3,000.00 + under cost. Since dealerships are not in the business of losing money, I knew there had to be an unpublished incentive on these vehicles, but for the life of me I could not find ANY mention of it. I "googled" scores of internet pages and all I could find was "No incentives at this time."
This brings me to my point. Up until a couple of years ago, sites like "Edmunds" prided themselves on not just reporting published cash backs, but digging down and revealing all the unpublished/hidden cash backs, dealer hold backs, and factory to dealer incentives that we car buyers WERE NOT supposed to know about. Edmunds.com was truly and SOLELY on the side of the car buyer at that time.
Now it seems, sites like Edmunds.com have become nothing more than a means for car dealerships to get leads on customers. They all provide some basic info on retail/cost number, then prompt you at every click of your mouse to register your name and phone number so that you can receive "multiple internet pricing offers" which of course never arrive. Instead you start receiving telephone calls and e-mails from car local dealerships, trying to get you to come in without EVER providing the very "quote" these website(s) promised.
I think Edmunds, KBB, and other sites have gone completely to the "dark side" and are no longer acting in the best interests of the consumer.

In any case, the vehicle has been absolutely perfect and I have no complaints. As I see it, $7,300.00 off of sticker sure beats paying list price.
Good luck with your LR3. These are truly great trucks...
Keith
Great truck though! We LOVE IT! And now that I have vented my frustration, allow me to address your question:
A $56,000.00 LR3 cost the dealer about $51,000.00 originally. Subtract the $6,000.00 incentive and the truck now costs the dealer $45,000.00. Add no more than $600.00 extra shipping (CA to AZ), and a $250.00 dealer to dealer doc fee (nobody gets anything for free), and the total now comes to $45,850.00. Add another possible $250.00 local doc fee that in many cases the dealership charges the sales department for (they pass it onto you by charging you $400.00 to $500.00) and the dealer now owes $46,000.00 for the truck. I would give the dealer no more than $1,000.00 profit (since they did have to find it and get it to you), and that results in a total purchase price of $47,000.00
I would pay the dealer no more than $47,000.00 + tax & tags for this vehicle...
I hope this helps...
Keith
I still think I can go lower than that....
Keith
That $46,500.00 represents dealer cost minus the full $6,000.00 rebate. I would say you are getting a very good deal.
I believe that $1,500.00 coupon is probably for a 07. I can not see LR giving $1,500.00 on top of the $6,000.00 they are already providing on the 06...
Keith
I paid $35,750 +tax & Lic.
There's a minor defect on the 3rd row sunroof blind. I didn't realize it until I got home. I guess I have to go back and fix it. I also noticed the engine noise is little weired it sounds more like, "Boorururummmm~", rather than Boooooom~".... i'm not good at describing things.. sorry. On the freeway, I noticed it rattles a little. It's not a smooth ride and my guess is tires are not balanced or something... I don't know. Due to these "little minor problems..", I'm not quite happy as I should be... Any thoughts?
Thanks Guys~
When I mentioned Edmunds TMV, the salesman spouted that, "those book publishers don't know anything about cars, we use KBB". I think we all know how revered KBB is when we are negotiating Trade-in value.
Is $32K for a prior loaner realistic?
Geez,I don't know what to say. I did not get as good a deal as you did (I paid what you paid, but did not get the rear seat package). But I gotta tell you. The only problem I have had is that my sun roof needs a minor adjustment (I have to hold the "close" button to get the roof to close all the way. The "one touch" doesn't seem to work). Other than that, my LR3 has been perfect. No rattles, no funny sounds. The car is tight as a drum and rides like a Cadillac.
Was your LR3 a loaner or something?
Keith :confuse:
I would find it kind of odd that they wouldn't offer it on a LR3 though as there are usually enough LR3s in stock that selling a few at X-plan pricing does not hurt.
Jeff
Thanks
I'm looking to lease (2-3years), and have a goal price of $8500 below invoice and no junk fees for a V8 SE with Rear-seat, Climate and a dealer-installed DVD system. Resonable? MF? Residuals? I'll be sending email requests for quotes tomorrow to all the SF Bay area dealers.
Thanks!
I am new to the site and it is quite informative. I am about to pick up my new Rover tomorrow got a sweet deal $34K out the door 2006 LR3 V6 SE new. My question is is it worth the extra $2400 to get the V8 or is the V6 a good performer?
Thanks
the V8 I believe is an SE and not sure but the V8 may have some miles on it as a loaner car???
I am in New England
That way, other members can just click on the link.. No typos possible..

It was a Land Rover loaner vehilce.
I'm concerned that the resale on the base model with the 6 cyl. engine will not retain enough of its value to justify the purchase.
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
MSRP $54,300
Invoice $49,900
Price to me $44,900
7,500 miles on the vehicle
No trade in, great credit, minimal financing
Usual bells and whistles - 3rd row, climate package, etc., no DVD or nav
Is this a good deal or this late in the game (2007) should I be driving a harder bargain with them and if so what? Would it be wiser to look at leasing rather than an outright purchase?
What are the current hidden incentives and what can I expect to pay for this vehicle in So. Cal.?
Invoice is $45K
