Thread: Discovery 4 - TDV6 HSE - How much are you paying?

I ordered mine April 28 2010 and it landed Port Melbourne on 3 September; I expect it in the drive in late September........, with Rear E-diff, high beam assist, cold climate pack, premium leather upgrade, and twin headrest DVD players (non LR) it was $110K "drive away". I was told in April "we cant haggle - the queue for HSE's is a mile long". I believed it. (?!) and it seems to have been true.

I bought HSE, in Nov 09, E diff, upgraded sound, nara bronze,hibeam assist , full set of mats,keyless entry ,mud flaps,included ORC. $102k.
Worth every cent

Hi Bluevein, and welcome to the forum...

I'm in Melbourne, and I ordered my HSE in Nov 2009 with surround cameras, cold climate pack, sunroof, and metallic paint. I got 3 quotes: $106,500, $108,000 and $110,000 on the road.

Naturally I went with the cheapest. It turns out the salesman (who is no longer there) misquoted but the dealer honoured the quote (or so they say). However, after that it was a comedy of errors. To cut a long story short when my vehicle arrived in June 2010 it didn't have the sunroof!

Moral of the story: because there is such a long wait time keep in regular touch with the dealer and make sure you see the paperwork they put in on LR when they order your vehicle from the UK. Check the options very carefully!

Anyways, even though the wait seemed like an eternity in hindsight it seems insignificant. The car's an absolute cracker!

Regards, Ron

I got a white 2.7 with 7 leather pack + tow bar + tint + rear diff + Bi Hid at 72500 drive away. Do you think this is a good deal?

When the RRP, Options, Dealer Delivery, LCT, GST, Gov Stamp Duty, & other on roads are taken into account the undiscounted price would be ~$85,282. So, your deal equates to a discount of ~$12,800.
Nice!

I had a few more options (metal paint, sat nav, stereo ugrade, rear camera, auto high beam assist) on my 2.7 D4, and ended up with a discount of $14,836 off the recommeded on road price. Also from the same dealer.

Hi Guys,
Just quick note from another newbie, I happened to see some paperwork on a dealers desk and it pretty much says that they have $4350.00 wriggle room on an D4 SE before options. However due to the current demand most salesmen just seem to stand their ground and tell you if you don't like the price then keep walking {cheeky buggers, it's unaustralian not to haggle a little LOL}
