    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

    My LR4 is being built!

    Nice combination. Are you getting a 2014 V8 or V6?

    Headlight washer fix needed

    On my 2013 HSE Lux, every third time you spray wiper fluid, it's supposed to spray the front headlights ("headlamp power wash," as it's described). The problem is the spray overshoots the headlamps and lands all over the hood. Is this something I can adjust/fix myself, or do I need my dealer to...

    Enabling digital speedo question

    I had to postpone my service appointment due to some traveling, but will definitely let you know. I'm not optimistic, as I usually get a story about how there's one technician who's an electronics system expert, but he's never there on the day of my service.

    Meridian sound system on MY14 LR4

    Wow, that's great news for 2014 buyers. I'm really enjoying the 825 watt HK system in my 2013 as it's a big upgrade over the less powerful system in my previous 2010. It sounds like the Meridien will be even better.

    Load Space Cover - did your 2013 vehicle come with one?

    I "forgot" to return mine when I traded in my 2010. I rarely use it in the 2013 - gets in the way and the tinted glass makes it hard to see in anyway.

    MY2013 - Order Now to Get the V8

    Truecar is pretty decent, although it doesn't list dealer holdbacks and incentives. There are also some good sites to get leasing details including Chase money factors if you go that route.

    MY2013 - Order Now to Get the V8

    I got $3,000 off in the Boston area, but think the dealer got a bit back on the trade. I'm pretty happy as I got exactly what I wanted (Causeway Grey Lux with ELP, etc.) and the residual value on the trade was still crazy high.

    MY2013 - Order Now to Get the V8

    I'm not sure where you're located but more than $3,000 off on a factory order would be a very good deal in the New England area.

    extended leather pack

    I'm glad I have it on my 2013. I think the leather with stitching above the instrument panel is what looks the nicest vs. my old 2010. I agree with the others who said you shouldn't reject a spec with everything you want but the extended leather, but you should go for it if given the chance...

    Been thinking about switching it up...

    You're exactly right Count, and as evidence I would point to the crazy high residual value of the LR4 and the lackluster residuals on the FFRR and RRS. I got over 60% of MSRP when I sold my 3 year old LR4. I think the West Coast people are doing even better.
