Hi Guys, I'm new here and reading this thread with great interest as I am going through the same, early thoughts.
You probably know this, but Brisbane has been smashed with Hail over the last 2 weeks. There are some bargains around and if you can live with it (I can't) you can slowly repair the dents and get a serious discount, some cars are being dropped by a few thousand....
I still reckon you should take this one for a drive. [url]http://carsales.mobi/cars/details/?R=15890217&silo=Stock&vertical=Car[/
Yep, I tend to agree with you. One Lotto win.....
Looks tempting but not a RR (new shape) fan.
Dropped an offer on a D3 today but prolly too low for the dealers liking. If no go then will take a break till after Xmas. Need to get the Perentie licenced.
All the best with your continued hunting Cliffy. My tip having bought a D3 diesel after having owned a D2 is make sure you get the steel pan conversion done straight away. Simple piece of mind IMO.
I also like the way you're looking at all sorts of different cars, pros/cons. Very impressive.
Ben.
Yes , the research is part of the fun!
Who knows I may be a D3 owner tomorrow...
Fair enough, I also originally preferred the D3 shape. The D3 is also more advanced with TR. The RR straight 6 BMW diesel is a nice engine. I don't know any other modern vehicle that has such an open engine bay. A really nice interior and great to drive. The RR feels bigger inside than a D3. The tranny is apparently their weakness, was also fitted to BMW X5.Quote:

And good luck with the offer. Stick to your guns if you think it's worth what you offered. Early D3s don't move fast. With end of mth & year they will be keen to move it. I found red book to be a useful guide of realistic prices.Quote:

Hopefully there are no surprises found in the inspection.
The car is being sold by a dealership (Landrover - so I'm sure you can figure it out)) so you would think it's been gone over. It was by far the best one I drove and is very tidy. Mrs was/is impressed and I don't think it will be long before it's annexed and I'm dirving a Mitsi Colt around.
