I just purchased a 2007 LR3 w/ 74k miles, for $18,900.00 @ 3.25% (this includes tax, tag, and title and a 1 year 1200 mile warranty) It is in excellent condition, like new, not a thing wrong with it that I can find and rides like a dream. Needs new tires but that's about it. I did a ton of homework before picking it up. I checked blue book retail and it says I should have paid $28,200.00.... whats the catch? The place I bought it from is a small used car dealer in Wilmington, Nc.
Can I take it to a Land Rover dealer and get it inspected and an extended warranty?
Can anyone weigh in on this? Should I expect it to catch fire any minute now? Thanks in advance!!!
P.S. Can I take it to a Land Rover dealer and get it inspected and a new warranty?
Will the dealer take me on their on site off-road course?

The dealer is right up the street from me and has one of those little tracks. You don't know how bad I've wanted to just swing through it. Both with the Disco and my M37... lol

Wow, either you just got extremely lucky or your car might self destruct in 24 hours.... jk congrats on the good deal. Should get a checkover at a stealer or a certified rover place. Can't hurt and could save you mega money finding any problems before they might get worse and such....
So far all good. Went trail riding yesterday and it performed perfectly.
Land Rover of Cape Fear told me, "Unfortunately, for liability reasons we can't take customers vehicles
over the test track, you can drive one of ours assisted with a sales
person if you like...I've added your email address to our event email
...list. If / when we have a "wheeling" event, you'll receive an email invite.
Congratulations on your new '07 LR3, have fun, and we look forward to
seeing you in the near future.

But they are letting me drive one of their LR3's. I knew I should have bought from a dealer!
Call the dealer ask about an inspection, it can't hurt to ask. I inquired about inspecting my 2004 Discovery and they told me upfront that if there are no warning lights on and no obvious leaks they will declare it good and I should save my money. They did not want to do a compression test or cooling system test for the 1 hour they will bill for an inspection. You might have better luck with a Land Rover independant.
I got an inspection done by Land Rover of Cape Fear. Other than "you need a new belt soon and I would change the plugs and wires." It passed with flying colors.
I just think there isn't a big market for a used LR3 around here and the guy I bought it from was tired of seeing it on his lot.
Loveing it right now. I find myself taking it wheeling more so than my 04 Jeep TJ Sahara
Whats the catch?
Thanks in advance!!!
