Range Rover Evoque Prices
Discussion
I doubt it, still a long wait for cars. I ordered mine in June 2011, its predicted to arrive mid april 2012. The wait may be even longer now as more people will have ordered due to launch hype.
Land rover dealers have used ones for sale now though, not much below list but not above at least.

lots of "previously cherished" ones around, I would imagine some of the dealers will be fairly motivated to do a deal if you shop around - especially dealers outside the traditionally wealthy areas of the UK where I find it hard to believe sales are booming, despite the hype...
Well Newcastle isnt a traditionally wealthy area and i am still looking at 9-10 months.
Seems to be loads on the second hand market. I was quoted around 6 months lead time for a new one, but there's plenty of second hand ones to choose from. A number of these have been for sale for a bit so I suspect there will be some leverage on the prices asked.
Im not buying into this whole hype thing though and Land Rover restricting supply will only stagnate the market in the short to medium term.

We're getting cars in 90-120 days and that includes shipping time to the USA! Can't understand all the 6-10 months stuff being mentioned. Unless there's a shortage of those diesel engines you people seem to like?
Selling them all at sticker as well.........
I'm surprised it's that long - I thought Americans generally bought from stock?Selling them all at sticker as well.........
I have seen comments that the new Mercedes ML is on tremendous lead-times in the US though, and that's built there, of course.

I agree with this. If you really want a brand new car then that is fine, however there are 186 Evoques for sale on Autotrader so not exactly a shortage of supply. And you can almost certainly find pretty much the exact spec you want there at a discount, and drive it away today.

When any popular new car comes out, the dealers (understandably) love to milk this mythical waiting list. The problem is that, by the time your new car arrives in 6 months, they will be giving discounts on cars they have in stock...

We dealer trade a lot. If you come in and want say an orkney gray sport and I haven't got one I can get one, usually in a few days. With the Evoque nobody has any stock to trade and everyone is on allocation so nobody will give one up. I'm sure it's the same in the UK.
I put down an order for an Evoque Dynamic yesterday and was told September delivery.
Two things I have read and/or witnessed; there is speculation that the wait time for a Pure model is longer than the others, this is based upon each dealership only having so many build slots and as such prioritising the cars with the larger profit margin...no idea if there is any truth in this.
Secondly, people talk about a lot of cars on the used market at discount prices……..well some of them are slightly cheaper but really no big saving compared to the new price considering they are 1 or sometimes 2 owner cars already with circa 2-3k miles on them, some are just the wrong spec to make them widely appealing (speculators really have got some of the choices wrong in my opinion) many are the same as the new price and some of them are still advertised at a premium.
But at least one of them is significantly under list price (there was a Prestige at the dealer where I ordered mine that is currently £6k under list price and has been discounted twice already) and you should see it…it is fking terrible specced horrendously with colour and trim choices that do not work but still very expensive as it has every toy, a 1 owner never driven car from a very rich customer. The sales exec said that they just don’t know what to do with it or how they are going shift it.

The one that is not selling....I'm not 100% clued up on the colour names, so will describe it as best I can.
Fuji white outside..so far so good, although the one issue with this is that Prestige has a metallic paint included in the price so choosing white means that you have selected a non metallic colour but still paid out £500 for the privilege.
A brown interior (not to be confused with a tan colour which would be ok…this was brown) mixed with cream inserts, cream piping and a cream suede and leather dashboard colour that looked a little like a very pale sick green, brown carpets, brown door trims again with cream inserts…..all in it looked totally wrong especially with the white paint and at odds with the very modern design of the Evoque interior..…I mean really bad.
The sales exec said that they are selling several Evoque’s a day since the launch date and they have never had this interior specced except for this one car.
Every toy on the extra’s list was bought for this car so over £50k retail price, they have now reduced it down to £44K, have never reduced any Evoque except this one and they have had it up for sale for several months with no interest.
