Anyone have an LR3? - GoFuckYourself.com

They are offering an AWESOME lease deal in my area. Yeah, I know the Land Rovers are hate/love situations, but a friend of mine is on her 2nd Disco and loves it. The lease is ony 24 or 30 months so I figure if it sucks, it will be gone soon

I actually DO need real 4WD, not just a soccer mom grocery carrier, and it's getting harder and harder to find something that has all the luxury bells and whistles I want and has a way for me to put it into 4WDL

Any info from owners or those who have looked at one is greatly 'preciated

Get's great reviews - one of the most capable LRs ever. How good is the pricing?

The lease is incredible - $653 a month with a capital cost reduction of $1500. No downpayment. The caveat is $.25 per mile over 12K a year, but I plan on buying an old Jeep as a 2nd car so I shouldn't have a problem keeping it down.

Hey Peaches,

You may want to search for a recent thread about Land Rover owners - some of those folks had this model. The car looks good and is a nice addition to the line.

I leased cars for years, then bought the last 3. I hate buying. I like the smell of "new car" and want a new one every 2-3 years. After 20 or so cars, I've realized leasing is the best way for me to go.

When I get the Jeep, I WILL buy it. But it's going to be a 2nd car so I'll probably keep it until the wheels fall off

I just checked out the Rover website and there may be a benefit to you for buying vs leasing. According to LR, the LR3 can now be qualify for business truck deductions.

Quote:

"Because the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and LR3 each have a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)*** of more than 6,000 pounds, when used for business, they may be able to be depreciated much more rapidly than luxury cars.**

Might be worth taking a look at as this lowers the cost a lot.
