Ordered early September for a March 2023 allocation. Luckily the dealer had an open December allocation and they squeezed me in. Worked with a great dealer in So Cal. While many of the dealers were charging a mandatory mark up this dealer opted for a mandatory 7500 accessory buy. At least the % went to something. I opted for the expedition roof rack and the side ladder. Missing from build was the 11.4 in screen, electronic steering column, mud flaps but I received 2 keys.
My only regret is if I should've gotten 22's since this Defender will be seeing more pavement than dirt. Otherwise, the rack might be coming off and possibly be trading 20'2 for 22's.
I was just looking at your pics and thought "should i change my order to 22", those look really good....Then I read that they are 20"...Look pretty good...My opinion of course!!
That’s horrible they made you pay $7500 on top of the car, even if it’s for accessories
Ive called every dealer up and down the coast and all over the us. Some markups are 10-40k for the v8. It’s crazy. Dealers will only deal if you are in their home county.

Yeah cali is really bad, but I did have a Houston Dealer and a PA dealer offer to sell to me last month, and I’m in Ohio. That was with no markup.

Here in Greenville, SC they don’t charge ADM. I had a V8 on order at MSRP, before changing it to the P400. It’s obviously going to be a wait, but no ADM.

I am getting a V8 as well with no ADM. Birmingham, AL
I am sure market has something to do with it and most dealers won’t sell outside of their market.
Agreed…and since ADM is also a dealer choice, I chose Greenville in large part because of their decision to never charge ADM. They are a strictly “MSRP dealer”.

Mine use to have that policy but has been charging ADM or trying. They tried to charge me $10k and I just said that I would pass. Came back and agreed to MSRP.
I still don’t own the truck so it could fall apart. I am super happy with my X so I won’t lose any sleep if it does. Should know this week.

Doesn’t sound like you can go wrong either way. I changed my mind because I was told by one of the service managers that to keep weight down on the V8, the roof was trimmed and that a roof rack wasn’t recommended. I’m not a hardcore off-roader but I also didn’t want a Starbucks rig either, so I went with the 6. The gas milage helps too. Coming from a Raptor, those $100+ pump visits get old and compared to my Raptor, the V8 is worse.
OTOH, the V8 is gonna be worth a lot. Lots of people, including sales people, getting banned or fired for future purchases after being caught for flipping $50-60K over MSRP🤯
