thanks everyone for all the brilliant replies....

Thing is, using buyacar.com that someone suggested, i can get exactly the same car as
that in the showroom is 56k for 50k but with a 8-12 week wait.

They might quote 8-10 weeks but I got my car from them and it took 5 months My dealer wouldn't go anywhere near there price though and neither would any others at the time.

Any saving in cost was lost with the long wait as the old car devalued.

 Global Warming.... I'm luvvin it

oldgit st - I may be totally wrong but I think you have been asking similar questions on a agricultural forum? If so are you a member of the NFU? Do you know you can get a 5% discount on an HSE, on top of any discount you can get from the dealer?

PM me if you want any other information but I got what I considered to be a good deal on a new HSE in October.

Hi hc76
most defo not me, not unless the wifes doing it behind my back


Saying that, i am soooooo confused at the moment.
Yesterday tried Disco 4 and q7 again,
NOW i know you will all say about the Q7 but I am so surprised at how good that car is.

The engineering and finish are so so spot on and it drives like a precision missile. HOWEVER there is something that leaves me kind of wanting with it, im not sure if its the interior seemingly being a little bit bland or the fact it is so well put togeather its almost become a sterile experience driving it.
Its ability to devour a motorway in minutes effortlessly astounds me and its road holding/ride are quite mind boggling and in my eyes better than the disco4.

HOWEVER, why oh why does my head and thoughts KEEP drifting back to the Disco ??

Get this. Why would I want the Disco when:-

Its the more expensive deal by quite some
I dont beleive the finish is any where near the Audi's (ok shoot me)
The running costs are higher (VED nearly twice as much / servicing free on the Audi)
The reliabilty surveys are pretty bad for LR and fill me with worries on longevity/reliability

PLEASE someone explain to me WHY MY HEART still wants this damn Disco 4 !

Someone please put me off the Q7 - help me get that right out of my head please please please

Lastly please dont take any offence at the above people, I dont want you to think I am trying to say the Disco is a bad car, its not, I suppose I am suffering with lustful car heart over financialy smart car head

I am sure giving birth is easier than this

thanks for any words peeps

Should I cancel my D3 order ??

Hi All,

I have been browsing this forum for the last 6 weeks since ordering my TDV6 HSE, and I must say I am starting to think I may havew wasted £40K !!

When I had the car for a 260 mile test drive I experienced no problems other than the wing mirrors not returning to their proper postion, which the dealer (MJ Fews Bristol) hadnt heard of. This forum would suggest however taht it is a common problem

It also clearly showed the pre-heat cool option.

The car was great to drive and has all the space I need. However, having read all the problems with parking brakes not working, suspension lowering at speed, pre-heat faulty, and the list goes on :- SHOULD I CANCEL MY ORDER.

I have just sold a perfectly good 2004 Merc E320 CDI Estate in readiness for the D3's June delivery.

Some honest unbiased advise would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks
