Hi Everyone! - I'm looking for some help with the HSE or HSE LUX decision. I'm ready to buy the LR4 after looking at the Range Rover and this LR4. I currently own a Nissan 350Z Nismo (pictured) and need a 2nd car for poor weather and extra space. I'm going to buy the white 2011 LR4 near the end of July or sometime in August.
I'm really a big fan of the new headlights of the LR4 (versus the LR3) and am pretty much buying the HSE version for that reason alone: Front Halogen Projection Lamps with LED Signature Lighting. Now I don't really like the Halogen part... and I read a thread here on swapping that out to either other whiter halogens or HIDs. Not sure how hard that was to do or what the end effect was (does it give the nice white Xenon HID projection light found on my 350z and cars with a real Xenon HID like the Range Rover, etc?)
So with that dilemma, I'm considering stepping up to the LUX version gives Xenon from the factory which I do value (OEM equipment) but am not sure if its worth $5,000 more? I know you also get the higher quality leather and the premium sound system... I figure with $5,000 saved I could add the Xenon lights myself and an even better sound system, which I plan on doing anyways.
Is the LUX leather/HID/480 watt sound system worth the $5,000 premium?
Also, as far as pricing is considered - I went today to the Land Rover dealer in Parsippany NJ and was looking at the RR HSE as well and the guy offered $6,000 off MSRP. We didn't talk about the LR4 in detail since my first choice was the RR but thought it over and felt going with the LR4 would be a much easier financial decision. How much discounts have you guys been receiving from your dealers on the LR4?
Thank you!
