My ship came in, Tirranna, 8/31 Baltimore. However, same issue as mentioned above, "missing an amp" so stuck at port install. At first I thought this was the Meridian Surround Amp but seems it is the amp that creates the "plink" sound. Dealer already tried to get the car so they could complete the work, but port guys won't release because it is a safety issue apparently. No estimate of when this will fixed.

Actually just found this. Themis Leaderappears to be discharging at Port Hueneme tomorrow. Is LB rail distribution and PH by truck? Or probably more likely discharging another brand at LB then duscharging JLR cars in PH. Don’t recall seeing Long Beach mentioned in the forum before

Sorry to hear that. I was hoping for a quick turnaround as the missing amp has been a known issue for a looong time. My dealer said they had one before that took an extra week more than usual transit time to NorCal. I hope you get a speedy turnaround

Themis Leader has arrived and departed Hueneme! Now the waiting. Curious how long my port installed options will take (Mud flaps, Roof Rack and Ladder). Then this Amp install as well? Last update from my dealer was a vague mid-Sept eta. It's been over a year of waiting coming to an end!

looks like we are in (or off) the same boat! Hueneme, port installed options and the “amp”. LMK, if you gat an update (especially re: the amp), and I’ll do same.

if you weren’t aware…..Since you ordered a year ago, make sure your dealer rebates the difference between the original 2023 price and the 2023.5 price that will be on your sticker. Rebate is 87% of the difference, a little over $2k for me when I clarified with my dealer.

‘’good luck on your delivery

yeah... I inquired a couple months ago about the 2023 price increase. They said they were going to honor the original MSRP.

Today they said they haven't been invoiced yet. Just waiting. 🤞🏼

Are you all still seeing markups? I just placed an order and was told they were doing me a "favor" dropping it from $10k to $5k.

I reached out to 3 dealers for my 130 order - 1) Said its a $5k markup if ordered in 2022 but not likely if ordered in 2023; 2) No "markup" but i had to buy their Xpel and ceramic coating package for $3k~; 3) The one I eventually ordered through said no markup just MSRP + tax, title and registration. I almost went with #2 because I was talking with them before #3 and I will get a protection wrap and ceramic but that amount was too low so its likely they were going to put it on the vehicle very sparingly and not where I would want it. I also feel that is not something you leave to some unknown detailer.

It exists but I get the impression it's diminishing except for particular areas. I'm in Maryland.

It probably varies as much by geo as it does by model. 130's are harder come by so may have more markups than 90's and 110's. Anything limited (I.e. V8, Carpathian, Trophy. etc) could also see more markups than standard 90's and 110's.
