I've been texting with my sales person since last year. The mark-up was initially $10-20K over MSRP depending on model. I only recently went into the dealership when he said they were no longer asking premiums over MSRP (and only adding premium add-ons). Hopefully, things will be down to MSRP by delivery time in June.

When did you place your order?

December 2022. I emailed them this morning to check on their current pricing and I was told that they are not ordering defenders at MSRP.

I placed an order yesterday for a D90S, I'm in no rush as I expect it will be at least July or later when it arrives - but I am excited to finally order one.

Which dealership did you order from? Sewell had open slots for June last week.

After a 7 month wait, finally got an 90s slot… but they dropped the interactive display and premium led’s… ugh.

Yep, that’s why I’m waiting for ‘24MY to see what’s ironed out as far package and option removals and additions.

I ordered in January for a May build. IID and Premium LED headlights on on my sheet. I'll probably take the analogue display, but I'm not accepting the truck without the Premium headlights. I think they're key to the look, and it would bum me out everyone time I noticed they weren't there.

I went to swap my 19" tires for 20" today, but found my "Last Amendment" date had moved more than three weeks ahead, now March 6th instead of the 27th.

That moves my build date from May 12th to the 21st of April. Of course, I would much prefer the build date move in my favor instead of farther away.
