Garycol yes I agree, that is what I posted earlier. Basically I had found the LC200 to be around $86,000. The TD V6 2.7L at around $77,500 and the 3.0L at around $90,100.
Currently there do not appear to be many 2nd hand 3.0 (or 2.7L) Discovery 4 vehicles around. However, I imagine by the time we return to OZ later this year, I am sure there will be a few more. I would prefer new, but one needs to be realistic.
Thank you for your assistance.

At that price of $86,000 for the LC200 you are looking at the petrol model - the cheapest diesel is $95,000.

Gary I have been quoted, by a QLD dealer, a drive away price of $86,000 for LC200 GXL 4.5L diesel. I thought that was too high, but then have not looked at cars for nearly 7 years.

You can "find" dealer prices at quite a variance - eg I found a 3.0 ltr D4 for $81990:

2011, LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 4, -, New Cars, $81,990 at carsguide.com.au

Toyota's RRP for the GXL diesel is $87664 + costs (= $94751 in NSW). LRA don't give RRP's, so you have to search the dealers.

Cheers,

gghagis thank you for that. This morning I emailed another dealer to enquire about a budgetary drive-away price. No reply yet.
Whenever I receive good service/advice, I will patronise that facility. Some dealers will not reply to questions, as I guess they think a waste of time.
Hopefully a dealer comes back with a lower price for the 3.0L, along the lines of your message.
Best wishes

When I was working at LR I was told that LR don't give RRP because to do so without ORCs isn't legal and they didn't want to be involved in working out ORCs for each individual State.

Gordon, that price is not a 'Drive away price'. When you add taxes, dealer delivery, and rego, it blows out to $91250, or thereabouts. I've looked at that add for months now. It is very misleading.

Don thank you for pointing that out. I just assumed it was inclusive and was getting excited. Bugger!

Goes to show when you assume, you make an ass out of u and me.

Just did a carsales search. $88,888 seems to be the cheapest 3.0l drive away price there at the moment.

I found that there are far less Landrover dealers than say Toyota dealers, meaning that your bargaining power is reduced.
From what I hear from a LR dealer that I know personally, most of his clients just order one and dont worry too much about haggling on price.
Cheers, Craig
