This phrase popped into my head last week after a month of fruitless searching for a 2nd hand 110 exactly to my wants.
So a trip to Stratstones Newcastle and a nice shiney santorini black 2010MY 110 xs Utility is now ordered for delivery 28/11/09 
I enquired with Ripon Direct Sales first but Stratstones ended up cheaper. But boy the extras they thrust onto you was a bit OTT. GAP insurance, SMART insurance, Tyre insurance, Paint and interior guard 0% interest on servicing @500GBP + VAT ffs 1500 quid for 3 services. My local LR servicing center will do 3 services for 700 quid I see why they are refered to as stealers  |

Hi Cibit
Good choice if your using NFU for your insurance you can get an extra 5% off the deal also with NFU you don`t need the Gap insurance as the NFU is old for new in the first 2 years |

Good newsI use NFU for all my vehicles. 6 vehicles = 30% oh and 2 horses make that 40 % YAAY
Seriously thats £399 worth of info for GAP insurance and I go back with my NFU policy and save£££££ thanks dude 
My original choice was Galway Green but only 3 in the country and all sold  Black is a nice compromise  |

Well I pick it up tomorow morning
No discount because we had already agreed price  But thanks to the headsup about NFU at least not having to shell out on GAP insurance.
Sleepless night ahead methinks |

No no no... Zermatt Silver - It doesn't show the scratches
Why do you think Land Rover Experience vehicles are all silver 
Enjoy the new truck. By the way when my wife got her BMW we took out tyre insurance, the trick is just before a tyre wears out, stick a nail in it and get it replaced for free. They are run flats so no problem driving it to the dealers and The cost of the insurance was about the same as that of two new tyres, the policy will replace up to five tyres in three years (the length of the personal lease). It was the BMW salesman who told us this, so no questions will be asked but then he is our neighbour  MAD COW

Yea to a blind man perhaps. Thats an old wives tale I'm afraid
You will never see me in a silver vehicle. This is a pic of my 1st D3 just before I sold it. Its been off road quite a bit and as you can see she polished up very nice.

The Land Rover paint is very tough get what ever colour you like and enjoy |

Very true and I think metallics are even tougher from experience. And come to thing of it six of my Land Rovers have been dark colours against three light ones. All got scratched, showed up sure enough on the dark colours but always came good after a bit of elbow grease was applied
Although I would say that my white 90 really did get scratched up but it just wasn't obvious until you got really close. The exception was the side graphics that scratched up badly and looked very tatty, so I just peeled them off MAD COW
