I cannot find anything regarding future price change in it, if that is the question

I think it’ll come down to what your contract says about the commitment of the dealer to deliver you a vehicle for a set price. If there is any clause that allows them to cancel due to a change in circs. which there probably is, then you will have to suck it up. An irate call to Land Rover customer service might illicit some good will. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Did you pay a deposit on placing the order? Every dealership I have dealt with honoured the price at ordering the car and paying the deposit even when there were price increases. Even Mini held the price of my ordered Countryman when the tax for vehicles over £40000 came in here and a price rise took the price over £40k they paid all the tax but invoiced the car at the full list price on delivery day I only paid the price when I ordered the car in November 2017 - it was delivered in June 2018 not the February that it was supposed to have arrived. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

If the vehicle they're supplying is different to the vehicle you ordered, you should be given the option to walk away at the very least. What if the price had increased by €20k?

Unfortunately they didn’t ask for any downpayment, i guess because if i would cancel they could sell it in a milisecond. What is really funny is actually the whole process. Considering that i am paying for a 90000 euro car i am treated like
 . My sales rep didn’t know about any changes from 2021 to 2022, after placing the order end of January the first update i got was beginning April confirming finally the build dates. Also the configuration was wrong that was submitted, if i don’t go through it in detail it would have had a lot of things that was different from my signed config. I basically had to do the work of the sales rep and now i am just that for 6 month waiting i will also have to pay on top. |

I'd just walk away. If you're determined to drive a LR, find a 2nd hand Discovery and trade it in next year or the year after for an updated Defender when the world has returned to normal.
Alternatively, plenty of other marques out there. |

You are totally right. I should walk away, i have never experienced such unprofessionalism by my previous car purchases, perhaps i am still in shock over it. Well perhaps i will still try the Karen card and talk with the manager of the place and see where it goes

Sorry, but i am waiting since January, would not really say that i have been overly anxious about it, i had another car, which i have sold last month, and i knew i needed to wait due to the big demand. Now with covid I am not in a rush have also my motorbike, but once vaccinated would like to cross some boarders...
Point I want to make here is that I have chosen this car, because I wanted to configure it to my liking, loved the design and need the towing power. I am just disappointed about the sales rep and my experience, so wanted to know if only my sales rep wants to rip me over even though i wanted to order some other accessories where i would guess they make also a handsome markup....whatever  |

l ordered my 90 Commercial in January, the same vehicle is now nearly U.K.£4,000 more expensive on the configurator.
The base vehicle price has increased from £47,250 to £50,995 l put down a £1,000 deposit with my order, so hopefully the increase won't be passed on to me but if it is, l won't proceed with the order at close to £55,000 for what's effectively a posh small van. |

Received an email from Guy Salmon today, the price of my order has gone up from £50,995 to £54,250
lt seems that placing an order with a deposit gives no security on the price you'll pay on delivery. Land Rover already deleted the D200 when l ordered, increasing the base vehicle price by £3,000 So my standard specification D90 Commercial order has effectively gone up £6,250 since l signed the order. l don't know if l am prepared to pay £6,250 more than was agreed at the point of sale. |

I think it gives you the right to cancel, but I’ve cancelled a few times and got deposits back Mike
