I bought an SE from Lancaster Land Rover in Reading about 3 months ago.
During the negotiation they offered me an HSE auto for £38.5k.
As has been suggested look for web based deals. You can either buy from them or use them to pressure a dealer to match the price. That's what I did.

Have the negotiations been difficult and have they matched internet price? Lancaster are one of the dealers I consider visiting/checking when looking to buy D3 early next year.... (got it all aprroved by THE Boss 8) )

They matched my best internet price.
Negotiations were aided, I strongly suspect, by their need to achieve a a certain sales volume by a given date in order to qualify for some kind of bonus payment.
Negotiation technique was simple: match the price or I buy from the internet dealer. Which is exactly what I would have done.

Hi all, just joined this group, lots of useful information. I have just bought a new LR3 V6 HSE model in Dubai for the paltry sum of 169000 dirhams, which works out at 24'852.00. Bargain! Includes 5 years unlimited mileage warranty, 5 years roadside assistance. There are ways to ship to the UK for a couple of grand
