LR4 Price

[netstalker]

The dealer just offered me a service loaner again- 2010 with 2700 miles with HSE and Climate package at $5K off MSRP in Black-Almond.
But he said that he would take off $2K on a new 2011 with same equipment thats MSRP for almost $55K

I'd find out the build dates of the 2010's they've been offerring you. Make sure they haven't been sitting there on the lot for a year or have been in service for a year. The warranty starts when they go into service. So you should negotiate an extension if you buy that would give you a full 3 years.

Thxs- Agreed.
I went to another dealer and they also tried to sell me on a 2010.
I'm starting to wonder if they are not trying to run the reliability record sky high by selling most LRs with 3-5K miles already so they can work out the bugs. I only say that because the first thing they do is run the service loaner spiel on you and I asked only for 2011.

My post is not negative but I wonder why a dealership with so few cars has 50% loaners and the push to down sell is intense.

On LR2 I had seen had 4K miles and he said it will be just like new- some fool smoked in it and I looked up at the dash on the passenger side just above the airbag had a tear in the dash and he seen it when I did and he said we can fix that. I said, what in 2-3 weeks?

The used LR4's do look rather weathered too. I'm still bothered by why they do not want to sell me a 2011 LR4

Because they don't have any, or don't have "allocation" for very many new ones. The LR4's are selling quite well, so perhaps you should consider ordering one. See what they'll give you off the list price if you "order" one they way you want it. My local AD does not have a lot of LR4's right now either, and the 2011's are coming in slowly. I went there two weeks ago to look at an LR2 to replace my 08 CTS and they only had a couple of used ones for me to drive. They just got their first new 2011 in, but it had not been prepped yet. The two used ones were 2010 service loaners with 8 and 12K miles on them. They didn't even try to sell them to me, they knew I was after a new one. He suggested I order one (and he offered me $2k off list, but I know he'll go more), and said delivery would be Feb. or so. I need a replacement by mid March, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. He only has a couple of LR2's inbound over the next 45 to 60 days, so I may have to order one if I want a new one. I wonder if LR isn't holding back on production, as it seems not many dealers have much inventory. There's another LR dealer about 80 miles from me, and he's wiped out as well.

Cheers,

I hope that is the case Joe ( low volume, instead of issues)
I did find yet another dealer near Baltimore that has the exact one I want. However their special great internet price is MSRP- LOL

My first dealer is giving a fair price as well on 2011 with $2K off straight up on a new unused one with no haggle. I almost never have a trade in and now I remember why. Too much drama on getting a good deal.
Good luck with your search.

My dealer had quite a few of 11 HSE and HSE lux. They only had two service loaners left and one was a LUX that I ended up buying. I was also looking for an HSE only but the LUX is awesome and for the price that I got, it was worth it. So for me, the service loaner was a better deal given the trim and price versus a new 11 HSE, which they were only willing to go down to $50k.
