I didn't know that they added the auto locking diff option; that's cheating! 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2

I bought an experience car last year, be very careful, see how much body & warranty work has been done.
Mine went back after less than 24 Hrs for a full refund.
Basically low mileage but spent all its life off road getting bashed & trashed.
I would personally advise anyone NOT to buy an experience car..
Would you buy one that had been used all its life off road from a private seller ??

I have very mixed feelings about agreeing with you on this one Phil (not that I have any problem with you, far from it, but I'm very uncomfortable about upsetting things for Keith), but it's worth Googling "Land Rover Experience" and then clicking on "Images" for a rough idea of how those 3,500 miles were applied:

Please go ahead, by all means, but just be aware of how it may have been driven for those miles.2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2

Keith please check out the deals on a new Disco before going for this one. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
No one wants a car that's been abused, they are telling you that this car has been totally abused for every one of those miles !!Velar MY18 D180 S Narvik

Perhaps not abused but more used to its limits & possibly further.
I know what happened to the car when i went on my experience day.. we slid down a hill quite rapidly & got bought to halt by a forest. Car went in sideways, could only use nearside doors to get out & spent 1 1/2 hours watching the staff trying to winch it out without bringing the forest with it.
Eventually drove it back to the centre where no one was particularly bothered about the damage, another one for repair then were the comments like it was a daily occurrence.
I never thought i would end up buying a experience car through a main dealer, they shouldn't be allowed in my view...
Keith, check it all over thoroughly to make sure you are ok with it. I found a lot about the one i bought from someone on the forum.

If the dealer put an ex-LRE vehicle on the 2-post with the under-protection, arch liners and bumpers removed I would consider inspecting and buying one. I would also ask for a few additional service items as part of the deal.
