To save 14K in price IMHO is comparing RRP V actual price they paid, not a true apples to apples comparison.

In the end if you find a 13 model in the colour and options you want buy it, if you can wait order one as the difference is price is small.

Thats right I saved over $14k from retail price to what paid but I haven't seen many brand new HSE's with rear diff and electric steering columns for what I paid so I'm pretty happy, I mean $88 for a brand new HSE with active diff and steering column for under $90 I thought was a good deal.

Shopping for a Run-Out or Ex-Demo is all in the timing I guess. There were easily a half dozen SDV6s around (in QLD) in the $85K range when I was looking (Mid February). And I was actually worried that I'd left it too late.

You hit the nail on the head though, finding a combination that you like is the trick, due to your personal preference/requirements. I had several Showrooms saying they wouldn't go as low as $85K.....but they all rang me back....LOL!!! Once that hook was in I went for floor mats, tinting, transport, etc.....they won't let a sale go due to 'trinkets' like that.

I'm assuming LR are like any other brand and actually have some sort of leasing arrangement on the cars they have on the floor ... IOW the cars are costing the owner of the franchise money and as MY13 have no future sales advertising value, they want to move them ASAP.

I'm confused by your apples - apples comparison statement though.

The con of the scenario is the fact that my MY13 is technically a year old already (not warranty wise though, as that starts with first registration) but I doubt that in four years plus time when I sell it (especially as it was built in SEP13) that there will be over $10K difference in the asking price between a MY13 and MY14.

What is the asking price for a book-order MY14 SE?

Either way .... we've all paid too much ... LOL!!!

Kev.

The way this reads (to me) is that by going a MY13 he saved 14K Versus going a MY14.

When in reality the saving is off RRP pricing and nothing to do with MY14 pricing.

My wife & I have just gone through this process, we could've had a MY13 with options we wanted...active diff, Hi line audio, privacy glass & Xenon lights, but it was not a first choice of colour.

We decided that given how much we were spending, we might as well get the exterior & trim colour we wanted, so we settled on a MY14 for prob $3k more & given that the MY13 car had been at the dealers since Aug/Sept, we think it was a more than reasonable trade off.

But everyone will have different views & what suits them, this is what suited us & we are very happy with what we will get......once it finally gets here.

Well the way I looked at it the dealers said they had to clear MY13 stock and there is no way they could offer a massive discount on the MY14 as they didn't really need to. The price I got 2 dealers said no way they could even do that on their demo ones so I said righto I'll take it.

I am interested in a HSE for under $90. What do you mean Rear Diff? I thought all SE and HSE comes with Rear Diff as a standard? How will I know if it is not on the list.

Does anyone know a good sales guy to recommend in Victoria?

Cheers!
