2013 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Lux Auto Baltic Blue

There are a few delivery mileage (0-10) Metroplis' on the bay at the moment around £31k. If the Dealer is still making a margin selling at that price, ie £4k off list, it begs the question as to what deals JLR are giving the Dealers to shift the old stocks. Foraging near Gaydon....
——————————————
MY13 HSE Lux SD4, Baltic Blue - current, 30,000> miles without fault
MY12 HSE 2.2 SD4, Sumatra Black - gone after 10 months/43,000 fault-free miles

Excluding the R&D, promotions, advertising, LR and dealer profit, just pure nuts and bolts, I suspect it's somewhere under £10k. No different from any other manufacturer that said.

Well I know that JLR make a minimum of £26k for every Range Rover Sport built. That info has come from within JLR! Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

Difficult to put an exact number on as it will vary by market. For example some markets have low margins due to having to incentive the purchase whereas others you can just add 000 onto the price.

I'm not sure what LR make but to get an idea of the sums that can be made have a look at Jeep prices in the States. Last time I looked, UK prices were almost double. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

These sorts of questions are very difficult even for the manufacturer to answer. Included are things like depreciation on buildings and equipment which can be spread across a number of years and models plus research and development costs which can be spread over as number of models too It also depends on how much profit the company wants to make and tax to pay in different markets (yes they decide before hand). You can give a figure but its never the whole story.
As an example what would you do about the new £500m engine plant in Wolverhampton?

I would be questioning why, what have they done to it to warrant stalling delivery, bumped it perhaps?

A week? Just about time for the fresh paint to dry, replacement scratched plastic panel to be ordered

As Paul says I would request to know why, if they play you off, just ask to see the car in the pound Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

It's a company car so not via a "real" dealer. For the price I'm paying I'll put up. Price to buy in 6 months is s w e e t!!!!!!
