A blog describing the purchase and ownership of a Land Rover LR3.

Accessories and Extended Warranties.

Thinking about accessories, I've liked the idea of rubber floor mats, tow package, cross-bars for the roof, driving lights and an A-frame bar on the front for practical and visual purposes.

Wife nixed the A-frame idea, and some more research nixed the idea of the OEM driving lights. (Why spend $500 for lights when you can get excellent lights for $100.)

The salesperson is including the floor mats, and we'll be ordering the accessories from http://www.roverconnection.com, due to their lowest quote. We'll be getting the tow bar, electrics (self-installed), and front seat-covers to protect from wet swimsuits.

I'm still conflicted on whether to get an extended warranty. I'll likely keep the car for a while, though I'm pretty sure the dealer extended-warranty, while convenient, will be a rip-off. I've got quotes from other companies for an extended warranty for $2,000-$4,000 for 4 additional years, so we'll see what the dealer offers. Given all the 'stuff' on the LR3, it seems logical to expect that things will break. $4,000 worth, though?
