2nd Hand D3's in Short Supply

I was surprised to get a letter from my LR stealer yesterday (Snippet Below):

--------------------------------------
Purchase Event

Due to unprecedented start to 2009 we are currently experiencing an acute shortage of quality Used Car Stock/

Therefore, we are holding a Purchasing Event as we are actively seeking to Purchase 250 LR cars.

---------------------------------------

D3's must be selling well at the moment. It will be interesting to see what happens when the D4 comes out.

My dealer has been buying off the internet as they only have ONE! used D3. Prices have definately improved. And it is interesting to note there are going to be very few D4s coming out quickly as they are all customer order, very few for stock.

I didn't think the dealer I bought from was talking bull; he wouldn't budge that much on the price and said they were like hen's teeth at the moment..

Our local Stratstones has a single used D3 for sale. It's Orange and they want £37k for it.

United States 2005 LR3 4.4 V8 HSE Auto Java BlackLR3

Interesting. I received a letter in the mail from my local dealer last month - "We want to buy your used LR3/Discovery 3, our inventory is too low". Shocked I called the sales manager and asked him what they would give me for my '05 HSE with 26,000 miles, he said "probably about $17k". Shocked Big Cry This same dealer has an '06 HSE with 32,000 miles for sale at $33,000. Shocked Confused Same dealer also told me that the best deals will be on 2009 model year D3's, as they are they are sandwiched between the non painted arch versions and the new D4's..........
