2005 HSE Specs

[ozducati]

Hi Guys

Have been lurking for a while and reading up as well as doing some searches.. I used to have an 01 TD5 which i loved, and sold that about 7 years ago, am now looking at a D3 HSE V8 2005 build / 06 delivery .. am trying to find a brochure or the exact manufacturers specs on the vehicle so i know what it should have .. the seller is not exactly forthcoming with a lot of info ..

Does anyone have a link or a brochure in pdf /scanned for the 05 HSE V8 ? or know an accurate link ??

The HSE has 73k on the clock, owner will take $40k .. is this a good deal?

Anything i should be looking out for?

Appreciate any feedback or info

A while back I looked at same car.
That sounds very good providing has full history etc.
Check on tyres and I do believe major service due at 80k.

Go on the landrover website they have full spec sheet.
The HSE has all the cream though.
There would be everything included.

Good luck and nice car.

Thanks Big Guy, tried to find a spec /brochure for the 2005 on land rover australia but no luck?

did they have sat nav / sunroof or anything like that as standard?

ps.. found an owners handbook on the UK site.. was looking more for a brochure with specs??

Is this one of the 5 seats spec that LRA brought in ?
The asking price is top wack . Mid 30's is all he'd get from a Dealer
for cash ....... if he could find anyone that is . No doubt doesn't intent
to continue with LR . If you like it , take your chances , but repairs
will cost the earth. There is no way of knowning what will fail you.

The UK and USA specs are not ours. Log onto redbook and read a spec sheet.
They're reasonably accurate .......

Hi Neil

The UK site has the australian owners manual.. what was the difference with the 5/7 seater HSE 's ?? just the extra seats?? am i better off looking for an 06 onwards?

says he is going overseas, needs to sell, has a service history ?

[Neil P]

Just the seats , I think ......... Still has twin air and HiICE ( third row buttons ) controls.
Will obviously have warranty period service . If he HAS to sell ,offer him $34k. A car mob wouldn't give him any more you know.
The first thing they say is " No one wants the 5 seater , Mate . No use for school-runs. " .This maybe why he's
trying to sell it himself , if it's a 5 seater .

PS. The extra seats were $3500 at the time .LRA didn't specify them in an attempt to keep the $103000 OTR rec price under control.
PPS . Check it for odour of coolant & diff oil.

look underneather for signs of the front diff leaking (means an least a re-conditioned diff as the oil gets contaminated),check for noise and movement in the suspension (bushes)
At that few KMs you may get some concideration from LR for warrnty if it was serviced by a dealer.

thanks guys .. am i better off looking for an 06 onwards model ? there's an 06 HSE V8 7 seat for $52k with 47'000 klm on it...

or anyone know of anything going for sale ??

[CaverD3]

Not much between 05 and 06 in the HSE in specs. If you can get the 05 for a good price maybe put the extra money aside for repairs and upgrades. The 05 is low mileage anyway. Depends on condition of the two really.
