Clubguy- did you order from Minneapolis JLR (Luther Group) or Richfield JLR (Morries Group)? I ordered from Richfield, they’re new and not super knowledgeable but pretty easy to work with so far. As long as you do you’re homework and know what you want you should be ok with them.
I’m pretty sure my $5k deposit is refundable if I change my mind.

Sounds like this is dealer-dependent. My dealer asked for $2000 down. It’s refundable per the emailed receipt I received.
As far as negotiating with the dealership once it arrives, I ordered the exact Defender I wanted through the build tool. I think it’s presumed that I won’t be trying to fanagle a better price and that they won’t be tacking on extra charges.

There are hidden fees in the Bill of Sale that you'll want to be aware of. See this video entitled "7 Car Dealership Rip Offs You Should Never Pay For"

Yeah it’s all dealer dependent. One dealer I used was $1000 and another local one was $1500. Both refundable. They said they’d have no problem selling it if I changed my mind. Also - not sure what dealer is negotiating MSRPs right now because they’re selling faster than they’re getting them. Good luck with that.

Land Rover of Portland is asking for 10% down to factory order. I sent an email the other day to the sales guy I have been working with. I asked three questions. He did not reply to the one regarding putting less money down. I though 10% was pretty high to be committed to a vehicle they are selling at full price.

MN. There’s currently 39 for sale. The higher spec HSE models seem to be selling quicker. They flew off the lot over the summer but inventory is piling I now.
Winter hasn’t hit us yet, no snow on the ground. I anticipate them selling better once we actually get a sizeable snow storm.
