Greetings RWO. We just picked up a silver 2005 SE dealer demo w/low miles on Monday and I couldn't be happier. Like the website says, the minute I took it out on a test drive I should have stopped looking. Instead I spent three weeks looking at Commanders, Armadas and Navigators. Monday I called the sales guy and told him to fax over the application and have the LR3 cleaned and gassed for a 6pm take home. I still waited all week to drive it to work, man was it worth it. Most surefooted SUV I've driven w/power to spare and it's great not to see anything else like it during the 20 mile trek.
Couple wrinkles: At work the parking garage has several low hanging pipes and I needed to maneuver extreeemely carefully to avoid a disaster -- at access height of course. Even at access height the LR is eight inches taller than my old Montero. Scary indoors.
Next wrinkle is I got a call from the LR finance mgr saying he couldnt get me the promised 4.95% since I was a new member of the credit union they signed me up with. Had to go 5.05% instead. Not much difference per month but I didnt like the feeling. Anyone else had this happen at LR or anywhere else? It's a first for me.
Anyway Im looking forward to many convos with other LR3 owners out there!
