Technically, but I never took delivery of the 2nd one for personal reasons. I’ll be ordering from a dealer out of state since I’ve purchased my first one from them, and they allow that.

As of now, should be a ‘23.5MY, of course subject to change up until build date. Which for you should be coming up soon, if you’re in the States.

Which one did you order to have such a short lead time and where are you based?

Agree with most above, for the moment, you'll be getting a MY23.5.

If you order an MY23.5 close to the change, when the MY24 hits, brace yourself for price increases and spec changes (even if you dropped your deposit on a MY23.5 specification).

With shorter lead times now, I truly hope LR aim to deliver the packages they take deposits on, but in most contracts, they leave themselves room to change spec and add price increases at their discretion.

100% correct. If you do get anything in writing that says "will sell at MSRP" make sure it specifies either a hardline number or "current MSRP as of [DATE]"

I may be wrong but I don't think it works like that. If your MY changes to 24 and the MSRP increases, you have to pay the increase. I don't think they will entertain the old MSRP.

This is correct. If the MY changes from the time of your order, you will have to pay the new price increases for the MY. I just had a conversation with my dealer about this.

Exactly....Read that back of the sales order. Long and short of it...It is not YOUR car until it is signed for. In other words, your order is simply your right to first refusal when the vehicle arrives built to the spec you desire. If ya think you have a dog in the fight, ya don't..! Couple years ago, we ordered a BMW that was not a "traditional" color combination. As a result, the buyers order stated, "no refund of deposit if buyer chooses not to accept vehicle".

I did, the relevant part is attached: unless this slips, I will be getting a 23.5 MY

Time to play the lottery?



I try not to double post, derails are in a new thread "Lucky day?" etc. Since my order was not processed yesterday, technically got build number and dates on Day 1.
