Will the L322 depreciate heavily next year?

[flyingjase]

Just wondered if the current L322 will start to depreciate when people take deliveries of their new shape RRs?

Fancying the 5 litre Supercharged but can't stretch to the £108k the LR configurator tells me I'd need to spend on a new one.

Is it worth waiting until mid next year or just buy one now? Thinking 2009/10 L322

Thanks

you are obviously going to get 'polar opposite' opinions on this

there are some superb offers on the 'last' L322's - and offering trade in's on 'old' L322's that are thousands above 'book price'?

obviously want to move the last of the L322's to make way for the L405? - and the trade in's will go to auction? - who knows

hope there will be bargains on L322 parts especially interiors etc as could do with drivers seat base but not paying circa £300

not being funny but the offers i have been made are by 'individual letters' - not a standard mailing shot!

Don't worry, if your local dealer has cars he'll give you a fantastic deal on a new L322 and he won't ask to see your "letter".

nothing to do with 'special' letters - whats got stuck in your ass?

maybe call me 'old school' but the letters i've received are not as previously mentioned a 'mail shot' - but from dealerships i have dealt with and who know me well enough?

you driven the L405 yet????

I'm sure that you're a very valued customer. There are good incentives on L322's, it's a great time to buy one. I'm sure that all dealerships who are still holding stock are mailing all potential prospects with details.

I've driven a couple of examples of the new car, it's mind blowingly good IMO.

Customer cars are sitting at the port waiting for LR to release them.

Fully loaded HSE on the road here inc tax for just over $100k - 65k pounds..

begs the question why 'we' pay far more?

[grand cherokee]

the car is made in the UK but prices 'start' at £71K up to £98K - and thats before you add any 'extra's'?

could easily go up to £120K

20% VAT doesn't help.........

don't you have import duty and state taxes?

State sales tax varies from 0 to 9% (may be a state somewhere that charges more). Average is 7%. Not involved in importing so not sure about duty. Dealer margins may be a little less as well, not sure what UK dealers mark up is.
