Do you work for a company that participates in the JLR Australia corporate scheme?? may be worth a look. I managed
to get a reasonable level of discount against the car and factory fitted accessories as my companies corporate agreement
stated "10% off all JLR new vehicles" rather than "selected models" that were in some agreements Laughing JLR honored it

Sadly no, I'm self employed so full price for me. And even though I own a Jag F-Pace and have owned 2x Evoques before that I don't even qualify for any JLR loyalty discounts. "Actual" pricing for my order should be available this week. If it is any more than the "quoted" price at the time I placed my order I'm afraid I will have to walk away. Feels like I'm getting reamed every time I talk $$$ with my dealer. Trade in offer on my F-Pace with 25k on the clock was a slap in the face too considering they couldn't offer any better than RRP for the vehicle or options.

Lovely looking P400 by the way. Fantastic colour choice Wink MY21 110 D300SE DEFENDER

are you using a local dealer to the North/central coast, my dealer has been great and may give you an alternate

That said your choice of a D300 seems very sensible, tons of torque and no doubt far more economical than the

That is one thing I am very grateful to my salesman for, I was looking at a D240 and he told me to hold off because there "might" be some better options coming... and sure enough the D300 that is perfect for what I wanted.

As I have been a customer with my dealer for some time and will be getting the Defender serviced there I want to be loyal to them. I don't think they see it the same though - I get the definite feeling that as a new sought after model they see me needing them more than they need me, so are playing it pretty hard when it comes to $$$. Hopefully when the "actual" pricing comes in they don't try to stretch the friendship too far. MY21 110 D300SE DEFENDER
