• 2008 RR HSE (not Sport) Price

  Written by: bully5 on Feb 25, 2011 7:33:44 AM

  Hi I am turning in a 2008 Range Rover HSE with luxury package in May 2011. The buy out price will be about $43,000. It will have about 30,000 miles on it (3 years old exactly , I stuck to my 10K per year limit). My question is, how negotiable are these turn in prices and can I go to any Land Rover dealer to negotiate it or is it better ... Read More

  Written by: rover_guy on Nov 20, 2008 7:52:44 PM

  Hi Malibugaga, Let’s see – I would guess that your leas is with LRCG as they had the best program in 06, regardless all the leasing companies use independent inspection companies to asses the damage v.s. normal wear and tear to your car. Most dealerships can give you a general idea of what is considered acceptable and what is not, but keep in mind they play no part in what the ... Read More

  Written by: djt21 on Oct 28, 2008 8:46:55 AM

  Your statements are absolutely correct. The current RR was designed in the mid 90's by BMW with (at the time) state of the art design and safety standards. And yes, my children are always properly secured in the vehicle with Britax car seats. But you can't ignore the facts. Most newer vehicles that have a head protection system (even the RR sport) use curtain style airbags for 1st & 2nd rows. ... Read More

• 2007 Range Rover HSE Airbags

  Written by: djt21 on Oct 27, 2008 6:57:35 PM

  Does anyone have an absolute answer as to the exact airbag configuration of a 2007 or newer RR HSE? The main reason for my purchasing a 2007 was from all the press releases from Land Rover stating that the interior of the vehicle and the airbag system was redesigned and reconfigured. The vehicle supposedly now has new torso (seat deployed) side airbags, a knee airbag for the driver, and "SIDE - ... Read More

  Written by: Car_man on May 15, 2008 3:00:41 AM

  Hi alwaysarookie. Reducing this truck's mileage allowance would definitely lower its monthly payment. Getting the dealer to lower its selling price would as well. Did you negotiate the selling price? If not, you definitely should do so. As far as the length of this lease goes, normally 36 month leases have lower monthly payments than 24 month leases. However, Land Rover appears to be steering consumers towards 2 year leases of ... Read More

  You're very welcome, njwlog. I don't think that Land Rover's 30 month lease program on this truck is anything special right now. If you really want to lease one, you would probably be better off going with a 36 month lease. Your monthly payment will be lower.

  They redesigned the dealer installed KIT wood fascia in late 2006 so it is better then the old version. The factory wood available on 2008 LR3 HSE does look much better as it is similar to the wood in the 2008 Full size Range Rovers. Land Rovers have never been much for highly polished wood though so it most of the wood interior in Land Rovers have a matte finish.
