Thread: The New Defender

I wonder if the usual JLR luxo SUV advanced depreciation takes place on this one?
2020 $100k units will be worth sub $50k by Christmas 2022!

Perhaps at that price the capability will outweigh the ugly?

Yes on paper were around $53K but in reality when you got a 110 into your driveway were $65K.

The one in my sig was $52K,driveaway,but in ‘09.

Can’t see it being worth anywhere near $40 or more,in immaculate condition,today.

I will report back because it’s going to a new home next year.

FWI,a 76 GXL is $69 000 today
GXL 200,$86K
VX 200 $96K
Sahara. $116K

That’s approx driveaway prices Qld,depending on fleet discount,etc.

With a much better warranty than 2020 Defender.

So 2020 Defender is not miles away in price from LC,as I guessed.

IMHO,a completely different vehicle from the Tojos.

All good - we just up-specced the order to the P400 “X”.

Why the heck not

The way i see it, if you want a bare bonesish defender and happy with 10second 0-100 its 70k+ extras

You want a reasonable power diesel with more goodies 80 to 90k + extras

You want V8 fast petrol, with economy of a smaller engine 95 to 110k + extras

This is all with EAS standard, twin speed transfer, 8speed auto, Apple carplay, android auto,dab,remote,nav, adaptive dynamics, offroad tyres, 2 zone climate control, keyless, tpms, airbags etc.

They seem to have added a fair bit more to standard than the base D5.

90 will no doubt shave around 10k off those prices.

I love the look of the new defender and the straight 6 looks appealing but at $110k plus on roads and extras..... That's a joke.
If that's the pricing for a 110 with that engine then it looks like it will be a new s5 patrol for me

I think it looks great, and the power train is proven and bullet proof. I'll also save $30k if the pricing on here is anyhting to go by. Do I think the new defender is $30k better than the new patrol?.......No!

I refuse to pay roughly $130k for a reasonably loaded 110, there simply is no value that I can see to make me think otherwise.

The disco 5 is about to become LR's most irrelevant vehcile and depreciate like an anchor!

I think the D5 used might be a good priced alternative to a new Defender. I still think the D5 is a bit fugly and would even consider a L494. Both are more than capable for what I need.

In reality I’m probably not looking at changing over from the L322 for a couple of years. Will see what the options look like then.

Go for it, pricing is no different to a cruiser, but the new defender is lightyears ahead.
