Looks like it will be a D3 SE V6 petrol.

work has agreed so lease will be had very soon.
bye bye Liberty 3R been a good car.

cant find one with a diff lock so will do with out.

car will be for general touring and DD nothing to extreme have the RR for that.

thinking about having a kaymar rear bar and long range tank fitted, along with g/grabber AT2s.

best deal is looking like Masaro motors.

Well done Michael.

It is going to be a toss up for me as well with the diesel v's petrol. I keep my cars longer than 5 years so its a little hard to equalize the extra $12,000 just to go diesel.

Watch out and do your research for the Kaymar bar. One D3 has had fitment problems and its all a mess at the moment. One suggestion was that the body has been mis-positioned during manufacture....figure that one out :eek:

yes I read that tail.
I'm inclined to think that was dodgy fitting.

but stranger things have happened.

yes hard to justify the extra $ for the TD pity the V8 only in the HSE. :D

If you work for a largish company, hit LR for their corporate deal. You'll get free servicing for 3 years. I did this in March last year when I got mine.

Micheal,

If you're fitting the Kaymar bar to allow you to fit the Longranger aux fuel tank also have a look at the RWC that 4x4intelligence.com source as an alternative unless you need to carry 2 spares of course.

Best of luck when you get the D3.

Kaymar used that excuse when their P38A rear bars didn't fit cars too. I pointed out that the Hayman Reese bar fitted perfectly.....

I had no problem with the alignment of my Kaymar bar. From my experience with having aftermarket gear added, I would suggest that it was the fitter with the problem and not the bar or car.

Try another dealer and see how you go, the corporate pack seems to be pretty arbitrary.

With the by-pass of Pakenham now open it's even easier, better & quicker.

The $12k extra for a diesel will not be an issue when you try and sell. The V6 petrol resale is the pits. The resale value of TDV6 can be about $12k higher than the equivalent V6.

Does your wife work for a big company? The relationship requirement for the corporate plan is pretty tenuous!
