    Yes, it really adds up.

    Did they charge $6k+ for the delivery fee, and was there any room for negotiations at all?

    $6k+ is a straight out rip off. I would do some serious shopping around, maybe even contact Land rover and ask for a name of a reputable dealer. I remember when I started selling cars in 1968, delivery was $30. Many years later when it went to $100 there were howls of protest everywhere.

    Land Rover Australia wont be very supportive.

    They have just discontinued their Corporate Plan which gave a discount on Delivery amongst other things.

    They believe they are in a position of strength because of poor supply i.e. supply v demand.

    Many other manufacturers are doing the same thing - i guess we just remember when supply comes back to normal

    Toyota are at least maintaining fleet discounts.
    Cheers

    I can understand LR not giving any discounts, corporate or otherwise but I would not think they would be too happy with dealers price gouging, as it reflects badly on them, even though, legally, they cannot do anything about it.

    Thanks guys, it sounds like the dealership I spoke to is really overcharging.

    I just had a look at my quote/invoice and dealer delivery was included in the price, yet in Canberra the dealer delivery was $4990-hence why I bought in Sydney
