Thread: Who else has ordered a limited edition?

They were saying about 64 for the heritage which I didn't think was too bad,
for 9 grand less and a lot more extras I'm really happy with the one I chose.

Defender 90, Corris Grey with black pack with alloy wheels, cold climate pack, premium leather, sunroof, black side runners, front mudflaps, front carpet mats,

This was one of two of the last coming in through Lance Dixon, Doncaster, they still have a Heritage 90 that can be ordered if anyone is interested.

Managed to squeeze the sales guy to 54K drive away... thought a pretty reasonable deal.

Chris.

Hi Chris, Congrats on your order. Our cars are twins - I have ordered exactly the same spec, delivery scheduled Jan/Feb 2016. What colour premium leather seats are you getting? I have ordered the two tone red seats but can change the order, so still deciding.


For others thinking of ordering, despite what salespersons may tell you, there are still dealers with unfilled orders allocated to them which can be spec-changed. When I was looking to buy, I was told by a couple of dealers that I will not find any unallocated slots and that I should buy the cars they had in stock, etc etc at full RRP... which was clearly incorrect. Do phone around to a few dealers before you make your decision . That said, the unallocated slots that dealers have are selling very fast so have to be quick.

I took my old mate and he called me a knob, saying that I should just buy the standard one! Anyway, they had a 90 demo and I took it for a drive, well I was shocked how great the seats are and after reading posts on how cramped the driving position is I thought it was great! Loved the steering (apart from the lock) and thought it was quite nippy, hated the shift from 2nd to 3rd but reckon I'd get use to it! Will I get use to it, reckon so!
We then had a good look round all the new car garages and you do start to question yourself when you see what you can buy for just under $70K. Seen the new Alfa sports car as well, that is one nice bit of kit! My old mate looked at a Ford Fiesta ST, for the cost of the Adventure I could buy two and still have $10K, bizarre isn't it!

There are many cars around that price range .. however, I doubt they will make you smile EVERYTIME you drive them, I doubt they will make you look back for a second look EVERYTIME after you park them and I doubt they will make you talk about them at EVERY opportunity

For anyone who has a new Defender, or is going to nab one of the last spots, I have just listed a brand new lockable cubby box for sale in the markets section.

Even if you want to upgrade your old interior, this will help.

Easy to install yourself. Don't pay the $910 the dealer charges!!!

Don't ask me why I ended up with this, other than to say that a lack of product knowledge by the salesman, and a subsequent lack of accountability, resulted in me having to stick with it...

Hi WakeMeForMeals,
My vehicle is one they already had coming in and comes with P6 premium leather pack in black/black... I personally think the red contrast will look a bit 'boy racer' and would consider the grey contrast which looks really good.
What price if I may ask did you negotiate for yours ?

I was tossing up between the black/black or lunar/black contrast, and ended up with the contrast pack. It's just that little bit different. Hopefully the lighter grey isn't too prone to marks

Andrew86 I was the same, couldn't decide between black/black or black/grey, but I've locked in black/grey in the end. I think the grey leather will wear better in the long run than the white contrast stitching on the black/black will.

Thanks Chris. Just thinking aloud, if your car is being delivered in January 2016, I'm pretty sure the specs can still be changed. My car is being built in mid-December and I have till early November to change specs as I want (colour, options, etc). The only thing I can't change is the bodytype (ie - can't change the 90 to a 110 for example). So, if you want to change any of the options, etc, it would be worth giving the dealer a call.


With regards to price, I am actually not too sure how much discount they gave, as funny as that may sound! My contract has a RRP of $59K something. There was a trade involved, so I'm not sure how much more than the wholesale value they gave to me on the car I traded in (which effectively represents the discount they gave off the new car). I just knew the number I would have been happy with as a changeover and they got close ($1000 more), so I just decided to buy the car. What was important to me was getting one of the last of the 90s that are produced so I didn't research price, etc as much as I would normally do. My gut feel is that I got around $3K discount but didn't dissect numbers too much with the salesperson. I have bought a few cars from them so I was relying on them to do the right thing by me on this front.
