Can't speak for others, but for me it boiked down to two reasons: getting the vehicle configured the way I wanted without tons of options I didn't want, and avoiding ADM that most charge on in-stock vehicles.

 

It's still showing a P300 for the 110 for me. I just built virtually the same truck I have ordered as a 23.5. Price has definitely gone up to allow for the standard sun roof. I also wasn't able to get the dark 18" wheels. May be OK for those who want more options but I'll stick with my 23.5.

Are you basing that on vehicles on the ground or what you see in online inventory? Most of the vehicles online are sold units.

 

What? I have a factory spec (not my spec) with my name on it, and the adaptive cruise is an option on the build sheet. It is being built now and should arrive early June. I don’t know anything about the DRLs. You are looking at 24s somehow? Can you share where? I don’t want to wind up with a 23.5 with the 24 to come around the next month or two. I would rather wait for a 24 especially if with some additional standard hardware the price drops.

 

'24 configurator is live on the LR USA site.

 

Indeed, surprised to see this but I guess it's not a big seller in the US.

At least my 23.5 90s is currently getting built at the factory, but until I have it in my own hands I will finally relax.

 

Thanks - that must have changed recently. I do see the adaptive cruise control standard now, but I also notice that some option packages no longer exist on the SE Dynamic - such as the interior convenience pack. Some of the options on my 23.5 build were fluff such as the interior protection pack, emergency pack, and black wheel protection pack which is no longer showing, but those are items I can buy on my own for less. But with the money saved, I can go for the full on towing pack instead of the dealer build which only had the air pack and the tow receiver. I may have to just order a 24 so I don’t get slammed with depreciation on a year older 23.5 which the whole world will see as a 23.

 

At least in socal there are a large number of Defenders available (especially compared to other trucks I am considering). Was just at a dealer yesterday.

 

over by me dealers are adding $10k worth of crap on all cars on lot, so it saves money and I get it custom to me.
