Fix damaged shark fin antenna
I managed to rip off part of the shark fin antenna housing on my 2013 LR4 in a parking garage. GPS and radio still work and I temporarily patched it with duct tape. I got a quote to replace it, but I'm loath to pull down the headliner to do the fix. Are there any alternatives that would involve... -

2016 LR4 prices paid for lease
Where did you hear dealers can only pad the money factor by .001? I thought they could raise it as high as they can get away with. I would be happy to hear I'm wrong. Of course, the residual is set by the bank and can't be changed. Also, never put down cash at closing as your insurance would... -

Car Price Creep - Leasing
The prices of the cars have certainly increased and, in addition, the leases have gotten more expensive. The car makers are not subsidizing the leases as much by setting artificially high residual values. -

Frustration with '14 availability
I have the extended leather package on a 2013 and I'm really glad I got it, but I would never trade it for the climate package. The heated seats alone are a must, but I live in New England. That being said, I would never settle for my 2nd choice color. -

2014 LR4 Test Drive Review - LR4 1st Drive
My 2013 landed in the port of Baltimore, so off the boat to you should be fairly quick. -

Lease or Buy?
Fozzy325 - Sounds like you got a great deal on your purchase - congrats. The only thing I'll add is that I never pay cash up front on a lease. The reason is that if you total the car, the insurance pays off the lease, not the full value of the car - so you're taking the risk of losing your... -

Lease or Buy?
I agree that leasing is not for those who like to do mods to the car. I also agree with your thinking in principle, but if the lease, for example, costs you 7% and financing costs you 1%, then you're paying a lot for the peace of mind (in financial terms, the put option you own to sell the car... -

Lease or Buy?
Land Rover in recent times has been very aggressive in their financing rates, but their leases have been very expensive. That's because they use very low residuals. I've been comfortable financing because the LR4 has really held onto its value. I've traded in a LR4 at a value near 65% of MSRP... -

Slow Nav
I've found that entering a destination address in my 2013 is faster using the voice commands than typing it in, but only if you hit the speak button as soon as the voice starts her prompt. It then stops the wordy instructions and let's you reply right away. The voice recognition is surprisingly... -

Showoff Your LR4
Nice trade! I have a '13 Causeway Gray and love the color. Haven't seen another yet in the wild. -

Rattle near steering column
I'm confident they will find and fix it as it's loud and I can make the noise start and stop, but hopefully it's not too big a job. -

Rattle near steering column
A rattle developed in the steering column area when going over bumps in my 2013. It happens when the wheel is at it's highest and furthest in, the position which I prefer. The rattle goes away if I lower the wheel. It's only when the wheel is all the way up. Does anyone have an idea of the... -

Anyone else's arm rest do this?
I think the idea is that it can be a tray table for the 2nd row
