I am looking to order a 2023 Defender 110 SE and seeing if any of y'all know any out-of-state dealers that have a short list for allocations or have allocations available for a new build that you would recommend. I am based in Dallas, TX, and not having any luck here and 100% willing to order from any out-of-state dealer (or in-state). Distance doesn't matter to me, a road trip after pick-up would be really fun. Feel free to DM or reply with suggestions to help out.

I wouldn't paint JLR with a broad brush because of a crappy dealer. There's a reason why Tesla doesn't have them and Ford may be at least motioning towards a dealerless future. Dealerships only survive because of archaic state laws, they serve no purpose otherwise. They could have told your friend that because they planned to tell him "O, it just sold" when he showed up "but we got this other defender for only $15k above MSRP" or something like that. Have your friend ask when they expect to get it.

Great to see more deliveries. Still no update on mine despite the amp getting installed a couple of weeks back. I did notice my car was for sale on the dealer website, since it was marked as “in stock” my mischievous buddy decide to inquire and was told it was available - nice. Is that standard JLR dealer practice?

I had no luck with the dealership in Frisco or FW. I’m still sitting on their waiting lists since January. I kept following up with the Dallas dealership as it’s high volume and “Tommy” was able to pull a miracle and get mine ordered. I highly recommend as the other dealerships were extremely unhelpful in the metroplex!
Swung by the LR dealer here in Raleigh, looks like still going for Oct 7th, hoping that sticks as I just managed to lock in 3.84% loan for next 30 days. Corporate America Family Credit Union out of Charlotte NC

Is yours on a boat already?
they said it was in Georgia/unloading they hadn't gotten it through customs yet. once its through customs should come up pretty quick, but the customs is the hand wavey time. but right now, oct 7th looks good.

Ours arrived in Brunswick GA on a Thursday and our dealer (Jacksonville) said it arrived on their lot Saturday. Quick
