Land Rover told us this past winter that 2008s would arrive in July. My drop dates for 2008 Sports and LR3s have been the last week in June or the first week in July since January. There ...

  There aren't many 2007 Sports around right now so no big discounts. Maybe if you catch a demo or at the end of the month if someone is one sale away from an objective but that is it. Also think how many more E350s Merc sales compared to Range Rover Sports. I bet Mercedes sales more E-classes in the US then Land Rover sells vehicles period. All of that volume allows ... Read More

  You truly have no idea what you are talking about. Rover's quality was worse when it was owned by BMW then it is now. Rover's quality was much, much worse back before BMW owned them because they had no capital to improve the products. BMW provided a fair amount of capital to help rover do some things but mainly just bought rover so that they would not have to develop 4wd ... Read More

  I have been shopping around for a Range Rover Sport Supercharged since December 2006 and have certainly noticed some price fluctuation in the last few months. For example in late December, I managed to negotiate down a Range Rover Sport with an MSRP of $73,550.00 down to $69,550.00, but decided against it as I felt the lease prices were a bit high, and I wanted to wait for the 2007 model. ...

  Buying a Land Rover is a very rewarding experience if you go into it with the right mindset. You are not buying a Chev or Ford, so there are probably less dealers in your area to service it. An LR3 can pretty much go over, around or through just about anything on the planet, but most people will never take it off the tarmac. Honestly, the LR3 is a bit of ... Read More

  Well, since we are on Edmunds, let's check Edmunds. A base 2006 Supercharged Land Rover Range Rover Sport has MSRP of $69,535, and invoice of $63,277. That's over $7000 in profit already on the base vehicle (without any option). Options is where the high margin is made. Most of your customers will want some options, won't they? If I missed the mark, it's not by much. Since you mentioned the full ... Read More
