My sales rep was very good at going over everything with the vehicle as he and his co-workers all own and love their Defenders. PPF, ceramic coat and tint will all be aftermarket with my usual guy.

 

Those defenders look great and glad to hear they are coming as specified. Still waiting on delivery for my 6/8 build. Vista went from On Ship to in market Distribution. I assume that’s in port. Next Vista status is On truck to retailer. 🤞.

 

That’s good to hear, Uk defenders have had the surround sound take off everything but the x, curious to see if this is the case in other regions or you guys still getting fully built x’s?

 

I thought about going to the 24 MY but Meridian Surround is not even standard on the X. I stuck with my 23.5 and hopefully nothing gets downgraded.

 

Well….my 23.5 110 CE left Baltimore on a transporter last week. Was due into Indiana late Thursday / Friday. As of this afternoon they are unsure where the transporter is currently. Dealer was checking with their dispatch but nothing yet. We’ll see. They were expecting 5 vehicles in on it so we shall see….

Same! My original delivery date was August 4, but then I was told a week or so ago that it was arriving early on July 21. That date came and went, the dealer re-checked, and now they are saying July 28, or possibly earlier. Honestly, it doesn't bother me, but I just wish there were a little more certainty in the process. But I guess it just is what it is. I'm just happy to have a new Defender with my name on it arriving soon.

Edit to add that I'm in Michigan. Our Defenders might even be on the same truck.

 

Arrrrgh! My truck's been sitting "In Market Distribution" (aka at port) since July 6. I'm getting impatient!

 

They use a smart routing program.

If the dealership has 5 or more coming in a week to ten days, they will all be loaded at one time.

​​​​​​Mine sat 9 or 10 days in Baltimore / Sparrow's Point early July and then was in Asheville less than 36 hours later.

UPDATE: The car carrier has been located as of 4pm today!!!! It will be here by EOD tomorrow allegedly. They will prep it Thurs/Fri/Mon and as of this afternoon, the plan is to take physical delivery at 4pm on Monday. This works out great as it's our Member/Guest this weekend, so I'm out anyway. LOL!!!
I'll post pics when I can.

 

Mine's stuck in port too. First they said August 4, then they said July 21, now they're saying July 28. Sigh... it'll probably be August 4.
