Yeah the bigger screen isn't available on the base trims

Right now I think it's a limitation on many builds. It's the only option I wanted that I couldn't get on my P400. I assume chips were the issue.

That is what I am finding as well....EXCEPT that the OP in this thread has a P300 S with the 11.4" screen, per his posting.

Did I misread that?

​​​​No you didn't.

11.4" screen WAS available as an option for the S trim early this year, but now it's only available as an option on the higher end trims.

Yes, confirmed that I was able to have my P300 S built with the 11.4" screen. That's a bummer it's no longer available. In my case, as much as I like the 11.4" screen I wouldn't have upgraded from the S to and SE just to get it. I prefer the 4-cyl engine and would have stuck with the smaller screen.

Things seem to be getting pretty crazy with the Defender. I checked another local dealer's inventory (not the one I purchased from), and they had several P300S that somehow had "sticker" prices in the mid $80K and mid $90K range. Hmmm... I'd like to see those stickers, as they must have gotten pretty creative with the "options". (When I visited them a year ago, I noticed that one of their mandatory packages was a $300 nitrogen tire fill. Kind of silly since owners are presumably airing down to go off road)

yeah dealers are just adding 5-10k to their dealer lot stock from what I see.

example: https://www.landroverwarwick.com/veh...ri-id-43503539

they definitely just added 10k to the msrp for this truck. It’ll sell too, i was half tempted but no off road pack made it a nonstarter for me

Wow this is very interesting. Here in Germany this will never happen and I think even is not allowed by an official dealer. Cars in stock usually are down prized as they are never optioned the way a customer wants it.

Ace - be careful with what you share With prices where they are, some entrepreneur will start importing Defenders from Germany into the U.S.!
