It was never going to be an easy sell! I think the dealers have been handed a quota of them and JLR succumbed to allowing dealers to tweak their design just to sell them.

Most have the canvas roof as well which means you shouldn’t fit the expo rack. 110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE

there is a limited number of top golf courses that can purchase multiple of the original 75 edition

my dealership had 10, yes with rag-tops. Have to go and see how many they still have.

I wouldn't have thought you could have made them look worse but Jardines pulled it out the bag

It’s actually entertaining to see how creative or tasteless dealers are becoming to try and shift them. They are throwing more and more money at them, just take the hit and reduce it.

There’s 2 90s below £70k I’ve looked at numbers and it could work, but it means doing the dirty on the salesman I’ve dealt with for years. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

Jokes aside, I am watching these with interest. Dealers are increasing the discounts and throwing big accessory offers at them. I will take one if the deals right. 110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE

Agree.... they are trying to find a price point. However I don't think I will go back to a Landrover and if I did it would be a older 110 utility wagon

Have a passing interest on the ID Buzz to replace the Volvo. Priced wrong by VW so prices are dropping as dealers are struggling to shift stock...... but its a slow movement.

Love the Buzz but it is expensive, had an ID3 for a couple of years (sketchy build) I then bought a Cupra Born as a commute car. Its the same car as the ID3 but looks cooler and strangely feels a lot better built. VAG need to sort their software and pricing. 110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE

Agree. Paid 28.5k for a new first edition ID3 for the Company. Ran it for 30months / 53k miles as a pool car and it was great bar the software

ID Buzz would be spot on for me as a dog car but not at £65k

I was looking at the Buzz to replace my 2017 Caravelle but its too small for my needs ( dog car and festival van for 5 of us ) so hoping they bring out an electric Ocean Touring in electric form in the next few years Defender D250 HSE

2016 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Scotia Grey

The problem with LR special editions for the last few years, they arent they err special.

Once upon a time the specials would get loads of stuff, stuff only available with that car etc

Now it seems a badge, dodgy colour and not a lot else. Mike
