I'm sorry mate, I still don't get it.

You're saying a MY14 D4, ordered off the books, was only a couple of K dearer than a MY13 run out model? The main event was still happening when I looked into this and there was a significant difference in price between a MY13 run out and a MY14 in SE trim.

I'm sure if an individual ordered a D4 in 2013, off the books, it would have cost them quite a bit more than buying a run out or Ex-Demo at the end of the year or in early 2014. There are just two sets of numbers, what had to be paid when the car was ordered and what was paid to take one off the showroom floor some months later. Same applies for MY14. It's black and white really for some folks ... the price of a book ordered MY14 Vs a run out MY13 and later this year, MY14 run out. Open the wallet, how much money comes out ..... nothing to do with what LR paid ... well actually leased it for ...or any other factor.

Obviously the other variables are personal choice ... you don't want to wait, you don't want to risk not getting your exact build or maybe you just don't care and are happy to spend the extra bucks, right here, right now.

It's like anything .... right place, right time. Dealer compensations, run-outs, end of financial year, overstock ..... if you happen to benefit from that situation, well that's good, right?

A few years down the track, you won't care .... you'll still be loving the D4 :-)

Trust me.

Kev.

Kev,

I suspect this depends on the dealer, and if they have excess stock. When I did this exercise over a year ago (Oct 12), the price difference between a demo MY12 (6 speed) and a new MY13 (8 speed) was $6K, so wasn't worth it. As it is, with some negotiations, and corporate plan, it ended up $16K under RRP for that specification. Downside was the near 4 mths wait as I wanted a 2013 build date.
