They’re bs dealer installed add-on’s, made sure to sign a buyers order to avoid those.

2 dealer-added options totaling $1278 is pretty good compared with the $15-20k markup from 6 months ago - especially for major metro area.

I'm not thinking so.... I'm thinking TruCoat. I'd be interested in explanations.

If anyone has a contact for a dealer selling at MSRP it would be greatly appreciated. Looking for one for my girlfriend and we are getting a little frustrated up here in WA.

Update - They agreed to remove the 2 'options'. So I can say true MSRP price from MT. Kisco JLR in NY. I pick up the vehicle tommorow afternoon, ill drop another message if anything changes.

Same thing happened to me at MT. Kisco. Reviewing the invoice found the shenanigans and politely and clearly indicated I was not interested which they promptly removed without question.

The options were: Auto Nation Appearance protection - apparently some coating inside and out called paint guard for exterior and fiber & leather guard for interior....The dent protection one was unlimited removal of small dents for 3 years.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm getting my 110S in June/July from LR New Rochelle which is also an Auto Nation dealership. We agreed to MSRP, so I'll keep an eye out for these too.
