I know exactly which 110's you are talking about LOL. I went there a few weeks ago and salesman was telling me I need to buy one of them now because "this won't be here tomorrow"...well apparently they are, considering they are asking WAY above msrp smh. Did you ask them about a custom-build as well, and they said they aren't taking orders?

I’d love the name of your Guide/Client Advisor in SLC -My 2019 Full Size Discovery was totaled last month (drunk driver in a Ford Econoline Van hit us head on at 55MPH; I’ve driven an LR since 2000, my first accident, and, our LR Absolutely Saved Our Lives🙏…
Everywhere I’ve been calling is saying $10-30K Over MSRP for a New Defender 110, even for an order. (Not to mention CPO ones are over MSRP also?!
Or if anyone knows where I can purchase a New 6-cylinder Defender 110 (in-stock or order) for MSRP OR LESS, anywhere in the US, I’d love the tip!
-Thank you in-advance!
(I’m on the west coast).

I sat down with a local dealer recently hoping to order a D90. My build is sparse with cloth seats and very few options, about $57K MSRP. Dealer insisted on a $10,000.00 markup on a base Defender order. I inquired what's the markup on a $100K order and it was the same $10,000.00. This made no sense to me and I left without placing an order. It simply boggles my mind that LR allows these ridiculous markups, especially on a base Defender.

It was worse than just the "markup madness". The whole experience was something akin to a sleazy Chrysler or Ford dealership. The Salesman, in gold chains and bad frosted haircut chewed on a toothpick and lectured me about how cars would never sell for msrp again. He played the whole discussion as if I was a fool for even asking about markups. Needless to say I cut the conversation short and left. I thought Land Rover was an upscale purchasing experience, but frankly it was more of the same old tired "car salesman" bull$hit. In contrast, purchasing my 2021 4Runner was a pleasant and professional experience. Bummer... I really like the D90 but I'm not going to waste my time in the cesspool of a Land Rover dealership.
