Finally, Hope it doesn't get seasick

After placing the order months ago, our new SVX is on a ship ETA Brisbane 21 September. Then apparently two weeks to dealer prep it and then we get our (my) dream car. Wife is catching on but still not 100% convinced that a defender was the best choice.
The new Defender has been getting a lot of negative comment on this forum, so it was very refreshing to see the Appreciation thread start to hear all the good about them.

Dealer yesterday really insulted me, Took our Disco in for trade in valuation, He offered $1500. The new tyres alone are worth almost that, the bull bar alone is almost that, I could go on. So it will go private sale.

Getting so excited about the new vehicle . Rekindling frienships all over the country just so I can go visit when it arrives. Can't wait to see the SVX. It has so many unique features that are unseen. Seems to be a good mix of the vehicle I love and just the right amount of luxury to appeal to my wife.

Sadly although it is MY car it has to be my wifes daily commute, so she has been instructed on the Defender wave and has promised not to let the side down.
Look forward to sharing pics with you all when it arrives.

I believe you mean Land Rover wave! I have been getting many more Discos and 2 old rangies to wave in my area..... It pleases me greatly!

Getting very excited.
Our Disco is the 300Tdi, we do have a few people lined up to come see it, I'm hoping it will go soon.
The Land Rover wave, we have had Disco for 5 years and have had very little response to our waves to other Disco's. Maybe it is just our area.
Cheers

Same here near Sydney. Had a Defender for many years..lots of waves. Then when we got our Disco no-one waved. Now we have an 06 Defender, we get waves again (not from Discos though).
Good luck selling your Disco.
Cheers, Bundalene

I spoke to my dealer about delivery of my svx last week and he hopes to have it to me 2nd week in October, they must be on the same boat

My dealer informed me that All Australia's SVX's were indeed all being shipped together. My delivery will also be around second week October. Can't wait.
As for the thread going on storage in Defenders, I am looking forward to seeing where Land Rover fit (or place) the supplied first aid kit and fire extinguisher.

Out of curiosity is anyone else getting a SVX?
There's me, Kenleyfred, Scotsun & Mcgrago.
Only 4 here so far.
Cheers
