the build sheet provided by the dealer after they submitted the build? Or the build you did on lr’s website?

 

I am seriously considering selling mine for cost+tax and re-ordering the same build - but it seems no more 11.4 for sub-X Defenders, but maybe I could at least get the Interactive Display and HUD. The dealer said they would give me MSRP, just not the 5% sales tax I’m out.

 

My 23 P300 came with the 11" screen. Took delivery 6/30 and was ordered at the beginning of January 23. According to sales I ordered in some small window of time that it was included. The salesperson's personal P300 order that was submitted only a few weeks prior to mine and did not have the larger screen. I was able to get extended Windsor leather which they weren't sure about either which I really like. No clear sight or full Digital dash which was annoying but not a deal breaker. Some of the removed options seem ridiculous but the supply excuse can only last but so much longer one would think.

 

the build sheet is the one I did online. the sheet from the dealer only had the options identified, not the standard options. Was the same on our 2022 build sheet.

 

Youre still getting an excellent vehicle. I would be thrilled to be getting a new defender sans 5%

 

Online configuration has adjusted several options between MY22/23/23.5 and most are only visible when you look at the photos (such as the turn signal/wipers stalk that no longer has bright trim…my wife’s April order May build online did not show that trim.)

We had to request the full build spec sheet to ID what exactly is coming and thus far have not seen a deviation from a 2023 X that delivered last week when I looked in it minus sunglasses holder. My MY22 D90 V8 had black brakes versus the sheets blue. Was built during the changeover in DEC.

I think many are not realizing as their build transcends model years, changes happen and may not be looking up those changes or requesting the new MY complete build sheet.

Of note two of the major plastics forming companies for European automotive companies were in the Ukraine and had to shut their doors…not sure where the LRs are sourced but I know several BMW/MB/VW/Skoda issues are a result of it. Even Ford changing a bit on options (drivers assistance/lane keeping/active starting) and now starting to feel the consumer pain.

 

the sheet provided by the dealer is what they submitted to LR. For example mine says interactive driver display on it. If it wasn’t on the sheet provided by them then the system didn’t allow them to add it to your build

 

Same thing, my order spec shows Meridian surround system but when i picked up the car the dealer informed me that Land rover took it out with all the other options

 

Yes, they were all on my build sheet !!

 

Since Meridian Surround is a standard spec, what replaced it? Could there be some miscommunication at the dealership level?
