Did 90 Build/Deposit At DEALER Tonight
 

I had my original dealer call me yesterday (I was 1st on the list) I could now do my build and order. BUT somehow I had moved to 17th from 1st. WTF. Whatever. Called the competition and they said first one in is first with build and deposit.
I completed build and gave deposit around 5p today. Supposedly calling me tomorrow once all entered in their system with the proper details (cutoff for changes, estimate delivery, etc.)

Will update tomorrow with details. Must be truth behind since the one dealer called me from being on the list and the other took my build....I will be more curious if it actually gets entered tomorrow.

Any news on where you are at with your 90 order?

Yeah. Estimated delivery date is March 12th to the dealer. BUT will I will likely cancel it. Im a bit grumpy. I can not get the Convenience Pack nor can any build 90 or 110 unless it comes standard. The only one comes standard is the X starting at 80K & 83K. Also, Im already compromising on non memory seats. You can get them in the 90 First Edition, BUT that ONLY comes with the front jump seat in the 90. Not really happy with the build options at this price point. On a 74Kish 2 door SUV should give me memory option to add and the new lack of Convenience Pack for the time being has me thinking I will cancel.

Funny I been waiting and waiting to order my D90 and I finally pulled the trigger on the 110, and the biggest reason was for chilled seats for Arizona. I too was disappointed I couldn’t get the comfort pack, but then I thought who cares. If it never existed you would have never cared. Enjoy the 90

I was going to get the 90 as well. The delay was a huge reason I went with the 110, but my wife also thought it would be better for the dogs and the occasional time we have some of our adult children at home or on vacation with us. Being empty nesters, I was ready to start downsizing the vehicles a bit.

Too bad LR skipped the whole first year of 90 sales. The configurator for the 2020 model year was much more friendly to options. 2021, made a lot of cool options lumped in with other things you don't want or forces you up in the range where you can no longer get the other options you wanted.

I am just happy my wait is just about over. I should have my 110 in less than 30 days after ordering in June. My wife and I have been down to one car in our house since the first of July. She was forced to work from home since March, so not a big deal to survive with her 20 BMW X5. Besides being down to one car in our house, (not happened since mid 80s) and without a Rover in the house since 2010, its been an interesting year.

Hopefully you find the right compromise and keep the order, otherwise take a look at the 110. Lots of them on the lots. Omaha has 7 on the ground right now. It looks like dealer inventory is out there.

Could no longer justify/compromise. I was notified couldn't get Convenience Pack unless comes standard. That coupled with no memory seat option which is available BUT only on the First Edition and X. And the First Edition only comes with Jump Seat...So frustrating. I canceled my order and drove 2.5 hrs to a dealer that had the specs I wanted in a 110. In my garage she sits!

I will look forward to seeing the 90s on road, it's goin to be gorgeous.

Pictures of your new Defender?

Rob

One I took when pulled in garage last night. I had them "throw in" the 110 hood decal. They in stalled in about 45 min. Gives it the final touch for me personally, love the decal. Even if had to buy it's only $145 plus labor. Great for cutting down hood glare. I had a 3/4 wrap on my 4Runner and worked great for glare and aesthetics.

What color is that? Looks like the Carpathian grey but I thought that was only for 2021 models?
