Agree - I just bought a car from NJ and live in CO. I had a few dealers tell me the "we can't sell outside our region" thing but just kept calling around.

I am also in Oregon and ordered from the Portland dealer. I have had a deposit in since the first week of February (5k) and shifted to a new order in mid march when the orders got changed to a my22. I just got notice today that my defender has left the Tacoma port and is on the way down to Portland.
I originally reached out to a couple of the Seattle area dealers who also wanted a 5k deposit and would not do the ordering over the phone. You can private message me if you have any questions about the portland dealer or want me to share some of my experience there.
I would say they did not seem to want me to edit any existing order that was already designed for retail sale. In both cases for my my21 and my22 orders they created new orders. Many people have taken over existing orders set for retail sale, some with the ability to still make revisions to the build, and reflected shorter relative "order" times. I gotta imagine that LR Portland has some X's on order that you could take over. There are not as many options for change at that level, so it might get lucky that way.

I think it is fairly recent... and was told if they did sell out of state (region)... they would get dinged for future allocation distribution from Land Rover.

I have those wheels as well and agree they are the best on size and looks for the D90 and D110.
