| From Perth - Anyone take the Sabre protection |
|
Hi guys, I'm new. I just bought a New Discovery 3 Diesel S. As you know we don't have much abt the option as we can only choose what on the floor unless we can wait like 4 months for the order and LCT is coming !
This is my 1st discovery. I want the best for it. So this lady trying to push me with the Sabre protection for $1800. The original price they told me is $2500. I get Sabre paint sealant, Nature Guard, Fabric protect, Vinyl protect, leather protect & window tint.
After i pick up the car i realise that look like nothing have been done. What they did actually ? all i can see is they tinted the window which i can tint outside for $400. I want to know if my $1400 is worth spend.
What u think ?
here is the pics of my ride.

I have it (sabre) and I'm in Perth. I had the dealer at Barbagallo spend 15 mins selling it to me and I said No. Too much $$$ and the guy I get to detail the car says he can do it all much cheaper. I leave the dealership without it (in my TDV6 SE with 19000km's on the clock). Get home. Wife asks what is "Sabre"...   ...she has located a sticker on the rear qtr window...I check log books and suprise suprise the previous owner spent $2500 fitting it new. Well, what a shock - a dealer trying to get me to pay for it again. 
Personally, I'd say they make a 200% mark up and this is waste of $$ and you'd be better getting anything else but...
As for how do you tell if vthey actually did anything (paint, leather etc)...good luck!

Hi buddy, great to know you in Perth. I saw you bought a steering audio remote from Nick. How you contact him ? I tried PM & Email him but no luck. Have you got yours installed already ?
I just confirm the custom made side-step as my mum need it to climb up. She said the car is too high. The custom made side-step cost me $759. My car booked in for next thursday fitting. The dealer wanna ask $1600 and $300 for labour. I think that is a rib off. I should have pictures posted for the side step on next Thursday.
Also the dealer selling the car Matt for $330. I think that is a rip off either. I bought the Replica LR3 matt from ebay US and it cost $60 shipped to Perth. Still waiting it to arrived tho.
I will custom made the Navman S80 navi into the centre-hole.
I'm really excited. I just have the car for 4 days now and i can't think of modify it.

What EBAY site was it in USA?
I bought the steering wheel controls from Barbagallo - $175 I think. Keep trying Nick - he'll get back to you and will probably be cheaper as prices have gone North!

You had a lady offering it? Better than the muppet we had - I just said NO. Got it tinted for $320 after getting the car. I am interested though in how the leather copes following treatment - ours (same colour) has picked up a blue tint from jeans.

Yes, ebay US. In US they call LR3. Just need to search LR3 for the parts. I have heard other Aussie member got the control for less than AUD100. I think i should wait patiently for Nick to reply.

LOL, i'm kinda regret now for the $1400 wrongly spend. I really see nothing abt the Sabre product. is that like a wax product that they applied ? or they actually have to spray a coat on it.
I read the booklet that if we wax our car then the Sabre warranty is Void. WTF !
