To close this topic, I picked up an 08 LR3 with 39K miles for well under 30K. Couldn't fit the full size range rover in my city driveway (and I could find one for under 37-38K for a 2008)
The LR3 has a decent selection of options but it far from the full blown HSE. The biggest selling point was it is a CPO car, so I've got some warranty to look to should/when anything goes wrong.
After 500 miles I'll admit to being happy with it. The interior trim is nicer than most similar priced SUV's, it is a comfortable ride with a nice driving position, it did a fair job hauling my 6800lb boat (a short distance), and the performance is perfectly acceptable for what it is.
MPG is nothing to brag about (my Land Rover Defender 110 is better, which is a sad statement!) at 16 city/22 highway after 2 tanks.
Thanks again to everyone who chimed in.
