COVID spec car, what would you do?
Discussion
I am assuming the semiconductor famine is Covid related, hence the title.
In September a JLR dealer made me a fantastic offer on a new Velar. PX for my year old Landy and a deal on a new Velar that was really very attractive.
The model would be minus two features, radar cruise and a 360 camera.
Six month lead time with the deal guaranteed. The car is on track to be delivered on time but I’ve just been told it’ll have an analogue dash. and I have been given a choice between having the analogue dash car or waiting an unspecified time for the digital dash car to arrive. The suggestion is, a very long time.
I quite like the digi dash in my present Land Rover and find its functions like a map straight ahead of the wheel are really useful. My concern is that I will end up not liking the car. It’s not an expensive car by PH standards, but it is to me, so I really don’t want to be disappointed by it.
Looking ahead, is this going to be a less popular and therefore less valuable car to sell/trade in future. Apparently all Velars being built along with mine will be so equipped. Not just Velars. Will 22 Plate Velars with analogue dials - and the other equipment deletions be marked down?
Thoughts on how I should proceed appreciated.
