Someone on another thread said the prices have just increased...just checked and the car i collected 4 weeks ago is now over £4k more.

No idea to what degree your locked in at the price on an ordered car or if the increase has to be paid on cars not yet delivered.

On another marque I have 2 cars ordered and they have just increased the prices; one has a build date in May and not subject to a £10k increase, the other no build date as yet and is subject to price increase.

Anyone shed any light on JLR view on this?

I looked at one today, No privacy glass is my preference, but this looked bad.

Would love one but the 510 hybrid makes more sense financially for me!
I know what you mean, but this time round the Performance one looks interesting. Matt Becker has done the handling side and over 600bhp, Ltd nos

It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
I always found that an odd saying….maybe it wasn’t a married man who said it. It might be easier to ask for forgiveness but in my experience it will not be granted and you end up paying the price for a long time.

In my instance the deposit did not hold the car at the initial price.

That seems to be the norm – though some people have said their dealer had honoured the price at deposit stage.

My FFRR order placed in Nov 21 received a mandatory £5k increase in price around a year later, as did everyone else. We also received a mandatory downgrade in the hifi system spec with a minor price adjustment. Nothing is fixed until it’s built.

My Defender ordered Oct 2021 got a fixed price and a 4% discount. Delivered May 22. I was going to order another on collection as was a good friend but the dealer stopped fixing the prices.

FFRR prices have risen again on the builder. The order I placed last week would be £3k (2.5%) more today.

Yup; my car i collected 4 weeks ago had a £5k price increase last year after initial order, but if it hadn't arrived 4 weeks ago and arrived say this week it would be subject to a further £4k+ increase.

I expect the order I placed last week has increased by £3k today but hopefully price rises will help keep depreciation low.

Mine too. The AB comes with blinds in the rear windows to help with privacy.

It definately shall be Phil.

As you say, your current car should be worth pretty near what you paid when its trade in time.

Even if they wanted to, which the don't, they couldn't flood the market with these and are most likely very happy with the resulting strong demand and for once, respectful residuals.

Let's hope the reliability of these new models holds up.

I have to say, the Sport was utterly fantastic and totally faultless in 6 months of ownership.

I cannot recommend one enough.

We have only had the FFRR for around a month and its shaping up to be exactly the same, if not even more comfortable and outstanding to waft about in.

There was only £10k difference in price between the 510e First Edition and the 350 Autobiography replacement.

Its defo worth the extra £10k.

Its amazing how quickly you get used to the plug in hybrid and its fab range, so really miss that aspect.

Strange because I always avoided Range Rovers due to outrageous depreciation and perceived reliability issues.

So far in my experience they have addressed both issues.

I genuinely cannot remember feeling as relaxed as I have done whilst behind the wheel of both of the models over any other previous vehicles owned.
Yes they've definitely sort out the reliability then!

With baited breath I await your ownership experience with both of the new Range Rover models...

Interesting that Harry prefers the D350 over the PHEV. Says the PHEV is running at the equivalent of 29mpg on electric, plus didn’t like the way the PHEV drive train responded to his favourite corner.

When we traded the 510e sport, it was indicating something mad of around 150 or more mpg.

This was the display after around we had used it approx 400miles.



Even then showing a pretty respectable 64.7mpg.

As I mentioned before, I never once put petrol in it in 6 months.

Personally, I thought Harry drove it very hard in his test, and expecting it to handle like a Cayenne on his favourite bend at near 3 tonnes isn't what these are for imo.

I have other stuff for that.

We had a FFRR 510e SV for a week just before Christmas and I was mighty impressed; enough that I have ordered one.
