Huge Shout out to Matt @mattevan for sharing this deal. I hate going or even chatting with dealers for a well known reasons and I was shocked and even not believing for moment that it is true that Dealership sales person was not trying any shenanigans and everything was as discussed at MSRP and without MF bump in current market conditions.
I was not looking specifically for Defender, but felt in love with style/color combo and capabilities. Few minor things that I don’t like: 1) Semi-electric seats without memory. This is overlook on my side, there is so many options and configurations on website, I overlooked this somehow. 2) Clear Sight camera is really cool, but this few inches of fin sticking on roof doesn’t allow me to fit it in garage.
Took delivery on Friday and immediately got it to more natural Defender habitat
Congrats on the truck and great deal! I loved the test drive and styling, really impressed with the 4cyl turbo engine.
I would have been reaching out to Matt as well if we decided to move forward with a Defender. Dealer was marking these up $10k then adding additional mandatory ceramic coat pkg for another $3k. Ridiculous. I can’t believe its allowed.
I think I tried that actually on lowest settings Need some hack, to lower it even further. I know guys were doing something like that with Audi’s Air Suspension
Good deal my friend! My 4xe order hasn’t seen any update since Jun/14 so I’ve been looking around LR dealers in SoCal for the Defenders. All of them are asking $10k-$15k markup!
The only way to get MSRP was to place an order (4-6 months out) this dealer said. I don’t know if you’d be able to get any discount at all given current market conditions, but good luck!
