Phone round or email dealers.
I drove to Knutsford to fetch mine; a good 2 hour drive. They offered the best deal, by quite a margin. even 1% on a £30,000 car is worth half a tank of fuel |

I'd never bother with the dealer again, cancelling and ordering elsewhere even if it cost me money doing do. There's plenty of other dealers around and if It needs to be May delivery, could always short term hire a car.
It's only the profit that's forcing them to renege on the deal. |

Do you have it in writing from them? If so may be worth a call to trading standards. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to us off. Richard |

You could try Rocar Moores (LR Dealer) based in Huddersfield, so not too far from you. I ordered mine from there last year and they were excellent, nothing was too much trouble for them and I got more than your quoted 8% discount from them with no problem. Their after service has been excellent too - as others have said, there are a lot of other dealers out there that will be willing to do a deal with you.

I got a good deal on my 90SW as it was pre-regd. for a variety of reasons it was a better option for me than putting in a factory order and was 10% cheaper than list price. It only had 14miles on it when I collected it from the dealers in South wales.
The dealer would have delivered it for free, but I fancied a day out and a leisurely drive back over a weekend. Ok it's a colour I wouldn't necessarily have chosen myself, but otherwise it is identical to what I would have ordered. |

I would have a ring round,, make sure you can get one,, even if it cost a tad more,,
then tell your original dealer to stick it where the sun don't shine !!! ,, Been there, and got a better deal at the end of the day,, California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1 Main Brian James Trailer Dealer for South West UK |

Definitely hit the phones, and visit as many dealers as you can - seems the end of production is bringing out the best in some dealers
The Ripon virtual dealer may be worth a shout also. Name the dealer & put in in a post to the LR public relations guy on the forum telling him you are not happy. See what he says. Last edited by Supacat on 27th Feb 2015 8:41pm. Edited 1 time in total |

Trading standards issue. Just checked with The misses who is a TS officer. You have a case even if it's verble but would be difficult to prove

Will pop along to them in the morning and have a chat. I've also emailed another dealer tonight. I will have a chat to a few and see what I can come up with, no shortage of vehicles out there looking around. |

I would imagine if the original dealer had taken a physical deposit the deal would be binding.

They called back just before he charged my card... so I told them to not charge it, as the terms had changed.
I've been offered 8%+ on pre-reg cars from a coupler dealers today, but not at my spec with the red seats. If I can't get the red leather option at a price I want, them maybe the best course of action is to buy a second hand one at a good price, take the seats out, ebay them, and get the interior tailored by someone in the colours I like. |
