I wish the bumpers being black were an option
I’m partial to Gondwana, Pangea, and Silicon silver

He’s the Defender guru of the forum and the one who pointed out these great residuals!

There really isn’t a bad color, especially on the smaller 90, imo. If I buy instead of lease, do you think I can expect anything off MSRP on a lower spec $50K to $55K 90? It seems lower specs especially are selling quite fast, so I’m not optimistic. While the higher spec 90s seem to be sitting.
In this market I expect Msrp or markup on 22s
Possibly slight discount on 21s

I’d drive a Tasman Blue Defender any day. It just needs a white or black roof and then white or black rims.

I think they go so well with the white contrast roof.
I did see a 90 recently with a black roof and black powder coated steelies. Looked totally

Those wheels aren’t doing anything spectacular for that ride. I know it’s a classic look but no way no how could I opt in that option onn a ride like that.
Order backlog is over 100,000 units so I guess you will stick to selling cars and not making them?
Congrats on having enough free time to do a focus group, though! Thank you for your service.
?? the car ones are awesome. i saw this gen s60 3 months before it was unveiled. also they pay a couple hundred bucks for like an hour…
Buy this CPO Defender at over sticker!!!
Mike adding a quick note here to thank you and tell everyone how awesome you are. I had reached out to him about a wrangler, did some work with Mike but then started looking at the defender 110S. Asked Mike about it and he told me like it was. No cars and no deals. I Kept looking while bothering Mike (lol) at the same time. Eventually mike was the one who directed me to a dealership that had defenders coming. Gave me advice on what price to target. I asked him if he wants to connect w the dealer so he can get something for his time investment…… but Mike was honest and said I can’t add much value given shortage of inventory but helped me still. He looked at quotes from dealers and told me where to push back.
In the end, I found the defender with Mike’s help, got a much lower lease payment based on Mike’s advice. What an awesome guy. Thank you Mike.
