Main Event Sale?

In mid January I went to the local dealer who only had a black MY11 2.4 in stock. They were able to find me a Red MY12 with the new 2.2 motor for 39k....and I went ahead a ordered a few extras and pick it all up in two weeks....they were every willing to help, as long as I signed and paired a $1k deposit.....now counting the days.....:cool:

Looks like i will have to go into state to get a black one.

Yeh thats definitely not the case, check on Carsales.com.au it has "New" car listings aswell or try some other dealers. However as mentioned you will be at the liberty of whatever that dealer has in stock or has ordered in. But you can just ring around to different dealers to get what you want.

I'm glad somebody brought up the topic of the "Main Sale". As I've been shopping around for a 130 recently there was quite a bit of confusion amongst the dealers as to what it applied to. Apparently in the details that were sent to them it only mentioned 90's and 110 wagons, turns out though that it does apply to 130's and the other variants. Not sure if this confusion was limited to S.A. or not.

Wow! $48k? Where from? Sunshine Coast dealer?

Brizzy Dealer won't talk 2012 Defenders below $54k though I haven't tried too hard yet. Get bored with the tales of woe and that it's only the 2011 models on discount.

The 2012 MY models are also on discount provided they have already landed in Oz, at least that's what the local dealer has said.

I just picked up a MY2012 Puma in Melbourne, ordered it during the main event sale on January 12 and the Melb City Dealer was able to tell me what they had coming into the country over the next few shipments. Came to $43,000 with all the extras.

Just in case anyone is interested.

It looks like the Main Event Sale has been extended again, until March 31 at this stage.

Izdefender,
Yours isnt white is it? Waved to a 90 yesterday on Old Moorooduc Rd thinking it was my wife (in our white 90)
What extras did you get to bring it up to 43000.
Very happy with ours...

Discjools

Spoke to the boys at Bruce Linton LR at closing & the Main Event has been extended until the end of the month.
Just need to sell that van :)
