To be fair, that's a very broad brush you are waving about there. I got the discount and I chose the dealer. GE Finance  "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

Is your car a true company car, are you being taxed as a company car? I have a 'company car'. They give me money monthly, I choose the car (HSE ) and dealer and lease. I am not taxed on this as a company car. However the company does have a 'car list'. This I could choose from but only on the basis of the car, nothing else. This would have been a company car for tax purposes.
The poster talks about in his initial post of a 'company car list'.

errr... yes they do.
I've had many a company car on the past and each time I was able to negotiate the best deal with a local dealer and get the vehicle I wanted with the options I wanted...
You should try a different company

Whatever 
The reality is that if a car is purchased and taxed as a company car then tax is based upon the list value of the car not any discounted value.

okie363,
As usual, i see that nobody has actually answered your question but just gone off ranting about money, fuel costs and finance companys any things.
it seems to me that you need the best of both worlds, this is a trickey thing to do, my advise for what its worth is as follows.
dont have a bull bar, i think it takes from the executive look of the car.
dont have the side steps, they will get damaged the first time you bring it off road and then look awful after that.
a rear diff lock is a good idea for off roading.
underbody protection is a good idea for off roading and it wont take from the looks, cause you cant see it (normally) 
a set of 17" wheels and mud tyres for off roading will keep you road wheels looking good.
anything else is just personal preference SE Ireland Turbochip Dealer.
First D3 in the World with a Hydraulic Winch.
2006 Disco 3 TDV6 S Auto,
Diff Locks,Turbochipped, Cooper STT's, Raised Air Intake, 220volts Onboard, Car PC, Onboard Compressor, Large Bore Exahust, Underbody Protection, One or two Other Mods as well.
Other toys include a sexy Jaguar XK8, Volvo C303 and an Argo Avenger 8x8.

Interesting... considering his very large budget I was thinking "surely there must be something better than a D3 that's just as good an all-around package!"

Yes... But you can chose where the vehicle is sourced with the right company. THATS what I said
Best deal as in getting the spec and vehicle you want inside the allowance.

Oh sorry, pointing out facts other than your own (obviously correct and final facts) seems to be making you sleepy 
Maybe the shandy was too strong for you last night.
