yeh that's pretty much how it is by the looks of it.

I made an enquiry about trade in for mine, 12.5k to a LR dealer........... and yet LR have similar on the website for 17/18k

that's one hell of a mark up !!!

we're doomed.... doomed I tell ya!

Comparing my 14 plate XS which I bought in March with the few FL2s that are now on dealers' websites it looks to me as if sticker prices have actually gone up recently. The big hit will come in a couple of years time when none are available in main dealers and you will be offered the auction price. Judging by what's on offer at the moment this is likely to be my last LR. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

Same here, there is only the Evoque that suits my needs other than the FL2 but I may well be looking for a petrol version in the future, if not....is bye bye LR/RR for good

Think you spot on there RogB,the days of the 'missing' (cough cough) cars will return and it will be the insurance companies turn to screw the motorist  If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

So we are all moving to petrol Dacia Dusters then..... FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues
2019 DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental
Now greatly regret selling the Outlander. MPG of the FL2 is atrocious and so are the fuel bills. Fun though 😎
Couldn’t afford the fuel bills so back to an older Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Significantly better than I remembered it to be…

some have started already ......

Having a £60k RRS hybrid that does 31 miles on electric is of no use to me in any shape or form and certainly no use to my bank balance!

once we all switch to petrol the prices will go up as CO2 levels rise, which on the news recently, are at their highest levels. Buy an EV and get screwed over on leky prices because the grid can’t cope and money is required to improve infrastructure.

We will be shafted what ever we drive at some point, so I will buy what ever I fancy and enjoy it. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Bike?  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.
