Does anyone know if the dealers bringing in any defenders on spec or are all vehicles coming in built to order.
I'm just wondering if there is such a thing as a non optioned base spec vehicle available , or would you have to order it[bigrolf][bigrolf][bigrolf][bigrolf]
caught up with my local stealer the other week whilst waiting for some bits to be added to mine by the Service dept, they had taken delivery of 4 Defenders on spec, sold 2 within the week of them
arriving. 94K will get you the base Defender with the new six cylinder MHEV D250 plant, and signature DRL, alloys.. 97K adds the Meridian and E-diff. The dealer did say many people are actually
spec'ing their own and waiting for their builds. I have not seen many P300's to be honest, the couple the dealer had were both P400's
Just for interest I ordered a new Defender 110 21MY D300 SE 5-Door 3.0L i6 220kW back in late November, with an estimated delivery date of Mid May - which has now been extended to mid June due to further COVID delays ( both shipping and production). Out of the total sales price, unfortunately the below taxes etc are charged - which adds considerably to the total cost :-
Dealer Delivery 3,800.00
Registration Fee 302.40
Compulsory Third Party 532.40
VIC - Admin Fee 36.13
VIC - Slimline Plate Black Fee 185.00
GST 8,953.27
LCT 8,923.79
Stamp Duty 7,532.00
Thus so much of the actual cost goes to the government [bigsad]
Recently the stealer informed me they would get their first D250 in about a months time but for some reason ( unkown to him ), the D300 has been delayed and my order will probably be one of the first Defender D300 for the dealership.
p.s. it was very difficult to haggle with the dealer at the time of order, as he new there was a large time delivery delay and very little Defender stock coming to Aust over the coming months.
