    The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread

    Breaking it in My future Father-in-law has some land in East TN and we went to see him this weekend so we packed up our sleeping bags and decided to give the new LR3 a test run to see how it all worked. Got to take it off the pavement to get around the property and back to the lake where we...

    The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread

    That sucks. I really hope it's not that much. Not for my deductible's sake, but so I don't have to drive around in the rental car any longer.

    The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread

    It's a $2100 door ding to be exact. Thank God for insurance.

    The obligatory "Show off your LR3' thread

    Not showing it off, just sharing the disappointment. Got home from a quick vacation to find that somebody had dinged up my door pretty good. You can't see from the picture, but the dent in the bottom corner caused the top to not align right...so basically driving around it sounds like the...

    Difference between 05/06/07?

    I don't know--it might depend on the dealer. My Land Rover dealer gave me a 1 year/12K mile warranty with a $100 deductible based on the vehicle history and mileage. He also let me address any issues I found before I took delivery. They also did the 60K mile service as a part of it since the...

    Difference between 05/06/07?

    There are guys way more knowledgeable than me here, but my research showed me that one of the biggest differences is that the 3rd row seating became standard in 07 (I believe?) So if the 3rd row is important, make sure to verify on 05's and 06's. I recently purchased an 05 with low mileage...

    Extended Warranties

    I just bought my LR3 and got 1yr/12k included in the purchase. I tried to talk them into 2/24. They said they'd let me buy another 1/12 "at cost" for 1600 so that 2300 seems steep. The question, of course, though is what on earth does "at cost" mean when it comes to warranty and how do they...

    Finally got it!

    Let me know when you get in town. The dealer I bought from was saying they organize monthly offroading events.

    Sounds good CB! What will you be doing at Vanderbilt? My Fiance is in their Nurse Practitioner program.

    It was clean but not dealer maintained unfortunately. Not sure what a CPQ is...

    Finally got it!

    After almost 2 months of looking, and with help from a great dealer here in Nashville, I joined the club! This week I got the call from Chad: "I think we just took your LR3 in on a trade--let me have the guys look at it and I'll let you know." 2 days later, I am the proud owner of a an '05...

    Looking to buy LR3 - a few questions

    Yeah I looked at that when I was searching a couple days ago...smelled pretty fishy.

    Looking to buy LR3 - a few questions

    Congrats Bane, let's see it! I seem to be running into a problem finding anything here in Nashville...plus it looks like some of the stuff around here is priced pretty premium. So based on what you guys have been saying, I've expanded the net for the search. Chicago is a pretty easy...

    Looking to buy LR3 - a few questions

    Wow, that's a lot of options. Thanks guys. I guess I haven't really thought about buying outside of Nashville for a couple reasons: 1) seems like it would cost just as much to either travel to get it or have it shipped...right? 2) How can you really be sure about it? I know people who have...

    Looking to buy LR3 - a few questions

    When you say wholesale do you mean you found it at auction? Or did you just talk the dealer down? I'm in the same predicament--looking for an '06 or '07 SE with under 50K in the in the $20-25 range...but can't seem to find a dealer with anything like that here in Nashville.

    Air Compressor R&R

    Wow, thanks for the heads up Eric. I'm definitely getting the impression that I should be looking for an extended warranty to be on the safe side.

    Might be the one (sorry if this is a repost)

    Nevermind. Thought I'd call before I left the house and they had sold it this morning. I guess that wasn't the one. Thanks for the response Grizzle.

    Might be the one (sorry if this is a repost)

    (I just tried this earlier, hopefully it doesn't show up twice) I'm heading to look at this LR3 tomorrow and wanted to get some expert advice on it: http://tinyurl.com/4v897fu I've driven a couple LR3's before so it's not like this is the first time behind the wheel. The other couple...

    Air Compressor R&R

    Hey J.D.- How many miles on the 06? I'm looking into buying an 05 or 06 LR3 and I'm trying to figure out the general mileage where things start to go south...that way I'll know what questions to ask when I'm interrogating the previous owner. What else has gone wrong? Thanks for the help! -Ryan

    Thinking about joining the club

    Thanks man. I'll take a look. I definitely don't need the HSE but I do want the V8 and I'm not sure if I want the 3rd row or not...

    Thinking about joining the club

    Wow Mayast, that sounds like a solid deal. What kind of equipment does it have and where are you located? I'm in Nashville and there's only one dealership here and nobody else selling anything low mileage.

    Thinking about joining the club

    Happy New Year everybody. I've been looking around the LR3 forum for the last couple days trying to study up as much as I can. It's finally time to get rid of my F150 I've had for 5 years so I'm in the market for a new (to me) vehicle and as of right now, the LR3 leads the pack. A couple...
