Thread: I still miss my L322 - so this is tempting

Greg

The L322 just glides.

Yes the D4 has the room and bulbar etc, but for a car that price the all should have heated seats, and heated/cooled seat option, the same age Sports etc had them fitted. My personal pick would have been a L322 speced interior D4 with the 4.4 TdV8. My biggest gripe with the L322 is lack of a bulbar, I looked at D4's but once driven a L322 you are spoilt

There are 3 nice lower mileage L322's on Carsales at the moment, the one you have listed is a Luxury but the ad lists it as a standard Vogue .

This one is a beautiful car also if you like Black, but the price ???

Great car by description, but I believe still over priced for a Dealer even with the low K's.

Good value car are out there, but go usually within 48 hrs like an 2011 Autobiography Private Sale for $49k a couple of weeks ago , so you have to be ready to jump ! I thought long and hard on this car, but I just couldn't do Black on Black

Laurie I would never again buy a black or dark coloured car. My L322 looked great in Fuji white, although I would have preferred the lighter interior rather than the black I had. (Loved those air-conditioned front seats.)
Those links you posted come up as 'you have been blocked' for me.

they say blocked but if you click they should still work ( at least that’s the case for me)

I’ve been in the same boat.
just moved back to Australia after living in the US for 8 years where I owned an L320 RRS Supercharged petrol. Magnificent vehicle.

So I had settled on a Disco when I returned in December. Been looking for months. Was about to buy one when I realized I could buy an L322 for about the same dollars. Deliberated extensively and decided to switch all my effort on an L322. And I’ve taken the plunge! Pick mine up on Friday. and I’m excited. And your comments about missing the L322 when you have a Disco makes me happy about my choice.

Mine is a bit of a gamble as it’s got high kms (210k), but they’re all highway kms, reasonably regularly serviced, not black on black, and autobiography.

The $70+k one is way overpriced.
The $60+k a bit overpriced.
There’s a base model black on black one for $49k - that’s overpriced (I nearly went for this one).

i think the secret here is to just wait and wait then jump quickly.

The $60k+ one looks good. I’m guessing it goes quickly.

I’m certain the one listed is a luxury as it has the perforated cooled seats. The dash has the extra controls for this that the standard vogue doesn’t.
plus the rear entertainment

I spoke to the BMW dealer that has the $63k one last week when it was listed. Was originally at $59k then they lifted price to above $63k after a day - I think merely because they had two or three enquiries straight off the bat. I respectfully told them I thought it was over valued at that mark. The $74k one has been listed at that price since about Nov if not slightly before, its just down the road from me in Bayside Vic.

Stupidly, I have Carsales alerts dropping into my inbox every so often.

Change your alerts to a 4.4 L405 to look forward to a later vehicle than either your current one or the older previous one.
