Buying a Defender without a markup?
What has been everyone experience lately with dealer markups? I am in Southern California and looking for a base 110 around $56,000-$60,000 MSRP. They all seem to have a markup of $15,000 over MSRP. I'm willing to fly to another state and drive it home if I'm able to avoid a markup.

The only way you're going to get a 110 at that price is if you order it, which means you are most likely looking at a 6 - 8 month timeframe from order to delivery. It's possible that you could get lucky and take over a previous customer's build which would shorten that timeframe but highly unlikely.
No one with a Defender on the lot that hasn't been ordered is going to sell for at MSRP due to supply chain disruptions.

Shortly after I ordered mine, the dealer (Bellevue WA) whacked a 10k markup on all their limited number of Defenders. Now they have a 10k markup on ordered vehicles too. Mine was Sticker price. I don't see the same markup at the Tacoma dealership but last I looked they had 1 S on their website.
More S trim seem to be on the lot these days. Was all Xs and other intermediate higher specs when I was ordering my SE.

If anyone is interested I just posted my 2022 Defender 90 X-Dynamic HSE in the classifieds section. I need to swap out for a 110 due to a baby on the way now...smh.
