    Emailed my enquiry to all dealers within a 200 mile radius with specification & made it quite clear that price was the number 1 priority. Retail price for my fully loaded spec was £35,650.00 paid £32,500.00. No other dealer could even match this at the time!

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    Great looking car, very comfortable & good value. My car had a PS2 fitted, tv's in the headrest, Ipod connection, light grills, running boards. A lot of car for £32k. The car is now just over 3 months old & has done just over 10,000 very comfortable & reliable miles. This is my first 4x4 & I am pleased with my choice.

    Dealer is easy to deal with & the quality of service is OK.
