The road less travelled you will find me on.

We got a man TL X-trail with parking sensors, towbar, roof rack/bars, nudge bar, rubber mats and cargo tray for $45K. I reckon we could have gone lower, as that was our first offer, which they accepted. Probably could have gone to 44K, maybe 44,500.. Still happy with the price we got. Got 3 years extra Nissan warranty and all the tint/paint/fabic/rust crap for another $2500 for everything. LR wanted $2200 just for the warranty.

The best price we could get for the FL2 was 53K for a white td4. Add another $1800 for a towbar, $200 for mats and it would have got to $55K. We would have got the 3 years of free servicing from LR, which would have been worth a bit with the FL2.

In the end disappointed we couldn't stretch to the FL2, but in the end we probably saved at least $8K, maybe more....

Like CG says, we'll have more chances to buy a proper car in the future.. maybe something German hey

Sorry to hear Chris, But i reckon you got a great deal on the Xtrail! Im sure you will be happy in the Xtrail.

Dont you mean indian ?  

Yeah couple of week Dorko, they have some down at the docks, so it shouldn't be any longer than that.

Plan on doing a bit of 4WDing, thats another thing that was pulling us toward to FL2, as it's a slightly more capable 4WD.

Na Christian, I meant German like VW, not Indian like Landrover... actually I think that most VW's are made in SA...

Cheers,

Chris.

Well email me some pictures... I would like to see the Xtrail

Well im sure the Xtrail wont be to far behind the FL2

Keep us posted
