everyone here will tell you to buy an Audi and I will tell you to buy a Land Rover, so there is really no help.

What will the primary use of the vehicle be?

I'm sorry I can't be more helpful--I'm pretty clueless about this stuff

i'm w/designerror on that one. although i'm convinced LRs are either for ppl who know their way around cars well, or don't mind frequent service intervals at the stealership. i'm the former.
are you going through a dealership? new? used?

its cool...as am i.
jesse main purpose would be to drive to and from work. prolly 5 mile trip....right now i drive POS - 93 concorde...its a real beauty

would love new...dealers are sneaky...tryin to equip myself with useful tactics..

That sounds like you can have a little fun with it too, 5 miles aint that far, and reasonable on fuel.
What kind of budget are you wanting/needing to spend?

lookin to put 2g down would love
payments right around 300 bills

My advice would be to go to a stealer and play really stupid, remember all the seller shit they let out on you. Go home and research it all on the internets, go back and ask a million qualified counter questions.

i went in wanting to pay X for my vehicle w/a list of options and extras. i told them that when i got there and didn't budge. it only lasted an hour or so and when they were close but wouldn't budge on their end i said, well, thanks for your time...and started walking away.
they gave me everything i wanted. it was LR and they're not salesy, but i think that when they see a definite sale walking in the door and you stand firm, they eventually give in. (if you're not unreasonable of course)

Your heart is set on new? Just curious...

what model did you get sputnik?

i've had 6 used cars..finally have a decent job and can afford nice car for once. would love new, but doesn't have to be. i would go for a two to one year old car
