Nope. IMO get the V8 which means 2013 or older.

 

I have an 11' great vehicle except the Infotainment system in a 13' is significantly better. My biggest issue with the truck is the entertainment software.
Can't stream music through bluetooth, the nav is very clunky and slow, the SAT/HD radio is subpar compared with other models of the same year.

I would do with a 13' if I had to do it all over again.

 

Fair enough. I never use the nav anymore in my 2010 as the phone is so much better. For music I am a little old fashioned and have an old style ipod hooked up permanently in the centre console. Sat radio in Western Canada is hit and miss anyhow with the low angle and the mountains so I don't miss it.

I also listen to CDs. The system sounds incredible with CDs. Worth the effort of opening a case IMO.

I would rather have the extra HP/TQ over bluetooth for the radio. But that is just me..

 

I have had some extended time in a LR4 SCV6, and while i'm a purist and want my V8.
With the transmission, and instant power the V6SC is not a big compromise, some would not even notice. THe numbers do not tell the true story.
If I had to do it again i would go with a 13', you get the V8, and the better infotainment system. I get what you are saying about CD's, but the audio system in the Land Rovers are not what they could be, too much NVH from the door panels. So to me, I'll rely on my home system for purity, and my Land Rover for... Rovering ease of use is everything.
Even the iPod interface is suspect. My wife's iPhone maybe works 60% of the time, the rest of the time I get some unknown error.

 

Thanks for all the replies and help.

got very lucky. A '13 got traded in at a Buick dealership about 2.5 hours from me. I told the guy to take pics of any dents or scratches and anything in the interior he thanks I need to know about before I drove that far.

to my surprise, the truck had an interior I didn't even know existed. Arabica brown extended Windsor leather.

Got the guy to quote me a price before I drove out.

when I got there, this truck didn't even have any road rash on the rims and on 29k miles.


every possible option.

basically the truck my wife would have special ordered if buying new in 2013.

told the guy to start writing it up, then they tried to raise the price because the manager heard how much he quoted me and said that was to low.

finally got them to honor the price and ran out of there with it.

thanks again for all the help.

 

Congrats. Let's see pictures
And what was the great price??
