New D3 Owner.

Well, we dropped the kids off last night for a sleep over at Nanny's house which allowed us to get up early.
We arrived at Guy Salmon in Portsmouth at around 8:45am from Swindon.

Well the car is stunning!

Discovery 3 HSE, Black, Ebony leather, 1 owner and ..... 1,361 miles Shocked

It's got loads of extras. I'm still learning all the titls and packs. Some i know:

tv screens in the back of the headrests
side steps
privacy glass
driving lamps
stainless sill strips
stainless rear bumper strip

I got under the car and all the suspension components look brand new. It's hardly been driven. Just have to wait until next week when it gets delivered.

Scary handing over that much money though.

Dealt with Simon Marsdon. He was very good. Made us feel special if you know what I mean and didn't rush us at all. In fact we were there for 4 hours!!

Excellent service.

Congrats!!! I LOVE my D3. I would hate to own anything else. Servicing at the dealership is a bit expensive but I knew that when I bought my first Land Rover ten years ago.

Despite what you might hear I have had very few problems with my D3.

Pictures will be put up as soon as it arrives Smile

My wife has always wanted a 4x4, but never thought we'd ever be able to afford a D3. How times change.
Just looking forward to trouble free motoring with it. Fingers crossed.

Congrats Kongo Thumbs Up
You will love your D3, I have enjoyed every minute of driving mine! I have even been known to go out for a "little drive" and ended up using a whole tank Whistle . My wife loves driving it too, and will even take it in preference to the Golf GTI we also have, (not so good, lol).
