2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Auto Santorini Black
Do you have to beg dealers to sell you a new Freelander.

I cant believe bow bad the dealers are at the moment.

I am ready to buy a new GS. Have acceptable quotes from 3 dealers, need to haggle a bit on a px but ready to hand over the keys this weekend and sign an order. I have pretty much stated this to 2 of the dealers. Yet they dont return calls, dont answer emails etc. Seriously unbelievable. That is not including the dealers who never got back to me at all. Shocked

Contrast that with a Car I bought online from skyfleet.com (delivered yesterday). They worked day, night and weekend to get me a good deal on a car. Returned calls, answered emails, were never pushy, got me a great deal and then sent flowers and chocolates for my wife to say thanks for doing business with them when they delivered the car. Thumbs Up

If there is a good LR dealer out there who wants my business - NOW - then contact me asap Rolling Eyes (Coming) 2016 RR Evoque td4 180 HSE Dynamc

Hi Flylr,

If you want to drop me a line to james.tayler@hadleygreen.co.uk with the package you are looking for, then I will be more than happy to see if I can achieve it.

I guess that the dealers you are speaking to are worried that they may not be able to supply you with a new vehicle before month end which is when the quarter offers expire.

They are probably hoping that you hang fire until next month when they will have 3 months to find and prepare a car for you.

As I say, please drop me a line and I will do all I can to help.

maybe they think your car has done too many miles and they don't want to offer you a silly price in case you take offence Laughing

I guess it will be like that with most brands. Luckily I can't fault TC Harrison at Derby when purchasing the Fiesta. When returning eventually to a Land Rover, it will be interesting to keep an eye on dealer reports on here Thumbs Up LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby
