Good purchase price/lease?
Lease it. Here's why: the resale on the V6 is going to suck and you want to trade in about three years you say. It's not so bad with the SE but still, lease it. There are far too many HSE's rolling around. Given the choice of a used car market, the smart buying is always going to take the... -

My issues of the LR3
God I hate rear view cameras and the "sonar" too. Just facilitates people that lack the ability to drive large vehicles to actually drive one. I figure 9 out of 10 Escalade drivers are unsafe steering a shopping cart. Anyways, do not buy or lease this vehicle. Why would you with that... -

Lr3 Vs RR Sport
I for one would consider 65k a great price tag. The RRS is what? 75k I think? 10k cheaper, more room, more off road and some solid acceleration, that would be perfect. Is it a nice, modestly priced luxury SUV with real off road capability as is? Sure is. I use it for my daily drive but I... -

Lease or Buy
I did not see a poll function so sorry, no poll. Just post if you leased or bought. I leased, 39 months. -

Lr3 Vs RR Sport
Rover: I just traded a Titan and replaced it with the LR3. The Titan is, of course, the pick up version of the Armada. Unless you have some NOS installed in your LR3, there is no way you are dropping an Armada. Trust me on this, that Nissan engine is a puller and the gearing is enough to... -

Lr3 Vs RR Sport
Rover: Glad to hear you are enjoying your Rover like that :) Do not get me wrong, it is an enjoyable vehicle and I knew exactly what I was getting when I leased it. However, go head to head against any number of other luxury SUVs and you will have your butt handed to you. Now again, I am... -

Lr3 Vs RR Sport
I get tired of people saying to "buy a sports car" when the very legitimate criticism of the acceleration of an LR3 is made. Face it, our LR3's are the slowest in their class. They are too heavy, the lbs/hp ratio sucks. Wanting brisk acceleration in your premium luxury SUV is not unreasonable... -

Imagine paying $60,000 for a car that doesn't drive straight.
Call me jaded, but having about 350 FTEs and thousands of patients and families to deal with, I think I read people pretty well and from very limited data. Something tells me you were just not going to be happy with this vehicle. Look at the title to this thread and your attitude after visit... -

LR3 vs. Lexus GX
Just an observation, if you are changing prices around as you describe, that is a very odd "one price seller". -

First Off-Pavement Run
Glad you enjoyed it. The tune is from Triple XXX (Vin Diesel movie) and the artist is Gavin Rosedale sans Bush. I think probably one of his last efforts as he seems to be rather retired into the role of Mr. Gwen Steffani these days. I used to enjoy Bush back in the day and have always like... -

First Off-Pavement Run
Not true. You still have to merge with highway traffic in an LR3. Heavy traffic and short ramps creates a use for acceleration. There are many more valid instances, this is just one. In every day life, no one has to worry about angle of attack. -

First Off-Pavement Run
Another climb for the day. This person had never driven an LR3 off road. As you can see, the truck easily pulled him right to the top and HDC made the descent easy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLGYbilBgHU -

First Off-Pavement Run
This is not too good nor too exciting as it is my first experiments with video editing software. This is just a 2:17 video of the day. I have much more video from the trip and will post more of it and other escapades when I get time and better at editing. Sorry for the Utube quality, it... -

LR3 Regular Cleaning and keeping it looking Good
If I must do it myself, I am with Houm, I use Zaino. I really like their detail spray and use it mainly on my Viper. A really good Zaino product for the LR3 I've found is the clay, nothing rubs out bugs and trail crap like that stuff. The tire detail is sticky and long lasting too although it... -

LR3 Break-In Period???
I paid $75 including the various taxes. Still think that's about $30 too much. -

Installation of XM radio in 2006 LR3
I have had XM since it was two months old. I still have the same Delphi Skyfi with vehicle and home cradle. My LR3 is a lease, so I just ran the wire to the driver's side rear hatch area and taped the pod into the flat area where the 7th passenger could put knick knacks. I ran the wire up... -

Get the Lexus. I would not suggest anyone that is three hours from their LR dealership buy one. -

First Off-Pavement Run
I hope they put the supercharged engine in the LR3. The RR Sport is on the LR3 frame (but a more narrow body it seems) so the platform can take it. Since most of us spend 99% of our time on the road, that extra "ummph" would be nice for me. However, unless I end up with a host of mechanical... -

LR3 vs. Lexus GX
As I suspected, the distinction was in your mind. I shall be more loquacious. Why are you arguing with me for enjoyment? I have 350 employees to argue with daily, I get plenty of it at work. Cheers -

First Off-Pavement Run
Questionable parsing but whatever you say. Further, the Titan is electronically governed to 114, at which speed I found it to be very stable. A Ford SVT Lightning or Dodge SRT might argue with you. At 0-60 in just over five seconds, the vast majority of sports cars will not run with that... -

First Off-Pavement Run
Good point Roverman! That is actually one of the many reasons I moved into an LR3. I wanted to slow down. I was driving too aggressively in my hot-rod truck and needed to take some system constraint type steps to mellow my driving out. That and it looks much better pulling up to the valet... -

LR3 vs. Lexus GX
Seriously, where is the different perspective? What you have done is use many words to create a distinction without a difference; basically you just wanted to argue with me and appear to contradict what I said when in fact you just explicated it. Soccer Mom needs reliability, room... -
