Buying a Defender without a markup?
#11
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.

My first Defender in 2020 was 8% off msrp. The new one I bought in Aug 2021 was msrp+2500.
I was unable to buy from across state lines as next state dealer told me that they were not allowed to sell to out of state people.
My car was supposed to arrive on a Thursday but it arrived a few days earlier. The dealer called me and said if I didn’t come right away his manager was pressurizing him to sell it someone else. I had to go pick it up that day.
I m not sure what the true situation is but it looks like it’s a sellers market.
thanks

Ask them to provide you the bill of sale so you can get your financing in order (regardless of how you intend to purchase). That way you will see exactly what they intend to charge you. My dealer did not add on any thing crazy but there were a few additional taxes/fees I was not aware about that caught me a little off guard.
