True, but if it does change I can cancel the order. Given my current circumstances and history with this dealer (I've done it twice before without a problem) I'm prepared to take that risk to get the vehicle I want, when I want it.Quote:

Sorry, I meant "would" be able to cancel the order. Fixed my post.Quote:

Either way, at least you have one on order so pretty much good to go. Now the wait.

I'm hoping if anything, once the pricing comes in, it get a better deal.... :)
I'm sure a price change will get me as I am waiting to see details on the new options. If I change anything I am sure they will want to requote.
As you said they do have the right to review the pricing should LRA increase RRP but that then leaves me with an out as does a delivery date past the contract date of 30.12.12, which it looks like it will be now.
Was originally told delivery would be mid to late November but I excepted the 30day variance when they updated me back in July. Told them I wouldn't except an additional 90days on top again like they tried to do a few weeks before the release.
I was told by a LR dealer yesterday that the average price increase for MY13 Disco's will be a $1000 above similar spec MY12 vehicles.
That puts a base model 3.0l eight speed at $1,000 above a 2.7 six speed.
As I said months ago when others were predicting $90k plus prices for the entry level Disco that they are unlikely to have massive increases in the base model price or they would lose out big time on market share at the lower end of the market, so the $1,000 increase sounds about right. Imagine the further discounts on the remaining 2.7's if that is confirmed soon.
The dealer also said that there was six speed Disco's with dealer delivery dates after the first batch of eight speed models are due to start arriving.
Time will tell.
Cheers,
Terry

However in this instance head had to rule heart and take up the even better deal on a 2012 HSE which will save me a lot more money than 2013 but still a bloody good car! I hope I don't regret not having the 8 speed........;)
New 2012 D4 HSE - White in the driveway by end of November latest. Apparently the 2013's start being built 1st Jan....
Thanks to the MLR and ULR crew, Pete(sniegy) and Andrew at MLR especially.
Now to sell the D2...:twisted:
Went in this week to get some more information on the MY13 D4 and found out the new 'premium' metallic colours are $3,600. I thought $1,800 was steep for the standard metallic paint. Even the dealer was finding the price hike hard to justify..

Scarry, the price hike is for the new colours (Causeway grey, Barolo Black, Barossa, Havana, Mariana Black, Marmaris Teal). These are $3,600. The 'old' matallic colours are still $1,800.
Out our way in the West the dealers (well Barbagallo's Land Rover at least) are still doing great deals on the MY13 models even though pricing has not been finalised - eg $x off the retail price.
OK,so what are the MY13 new model(8 sp,etc) prices and specs?Quote:
