Can't afford an HSE (or SE or S)...

...so planning to buy a standard 7 seater and then get the options I want added. These are:

Black Leather
Auto
Front and Rear Parking Sensors
Bonatti grey Metallic
Roof rails


My local dealer is offering all this for £31,700 on a new car for immmediate delivery.

This seems like a good deal to me, anyone disagree? Also am I missing anything that you would say is critical? (I dont need sat nev or comms, though I would like Bi-Xenons)

Not sure where you are from, but in the UK leather only comes with SE and HSE, you can't specify it as an option on another model

And I thought you needed air suspension with 7 seaters, so the coil sprung basic model was just a 5 seater ?

All 7 seaters are airsprung, so thats ok, and the dealers I've spoken to all seem used to getting seats connolly leathered as a 3rd party after-market add-on.

Exmoor trim will leather a DS3 probably save you a dealers mark up! They advertise in most LR mags

Only issue there is if you get the cloth seats recovered they'll still be uncomfortable due to the lack of adjustments. Personally (not being a fan of leather) I'd rather have the comfy SE/HSE seats and get them recovered in cloth!

If you don't mind ringing around and potentially a bit of travel, you should be able to pick up an ex-demonstrator "S" auto for around this price

Look at the used car locator on Land Rover's site - there are loads of S's on there.

Yeehaa! I ordered the car today in Benatti Grey! Should be delivered in 2 weeks.

(BN I noticed you offered your NFU insurance brokers details to another member, dont suppose you could PM me with the details?)

I posted this before...

I found that my local NFU company came up with the best deal for personal and business use.

BN and I are tight so we went for the best deal and got THE best deal !

Even get 2 yrs new for old if its written off... like a free GAP insurance. As has been said before NFU understand 4x4 drivers and knows what they are used for.

Simon and I are not actually tight, but rather frugal. Basically, if we can find something that is excellent, like the 2 years new for old ins etc and off road cover as NFU do for a great price, then we go for it. That also includes Flash refills and Magic Rubbers. Wink
