I know not of what you speak of. I am a just a guy in a Durango looking to trade up to a fancy Defender to impress my neighbor. (I hate him so much with his Telluride and fancy bike rack)

Now shush.

a 12/3/21 build & 1/28/22 delivery. Does anyone else have a D90 Carpathian Edition on order with a Vista “verified” build/delivery date? If so, shout them out! 🙂

any chance you’d be comfortable sharing that screenshot here? With personal info removed, of course. My dealer insists there’s no way anyone in the US has received a delivery date for a CE, but you’re the 2nd person here to claim so.

As for build dates.... so my first Carpathian Edition order for deleted by LR, and my dealer says he's having issues getting a build date for another one... He says he entered the order into the system and it didnt give him a build status yet... Is that true or is he pulling my chain so I dont go to another dealer... ?

I doubt he had any reason to “pull your chain”, but if you have another dealer near by you should definitely pay them a visit. I would also suggest meeting face to face your your sales guy at both locations and get them to log on to vista portal and show you what’s going on.

I’ll clean up my Vista screen shot and attach in a bit. I did speak with a manager of a different high volume JLR dealership (different from where I ordered) to ask if he thought he could get it built sooner than 12/3/21.

The manager of that dealership said that if I actually have a build for a Carpathian Edition in 2021 to hold on to it!! He said I wouldn’t be able to order one from them today even if I wanted to as all of there Carpathian Edition allocations were canceled by JLR with no news as to when or if they would be able to accept them in the future. They have a 110 V8 available on the lot and are getting 2 Trophy Editions…seems strange they can’t accept Carpathian Edition orders.

My order wasn’t deleted and is still showing on Vista, but the build dates were removed a few weeks ago and no new build dates have been provided since, at least as of my last check this past weekend. Tbh I’ve kind of given up on this car mentally. I’m going to stop checking its status and one day I’ll get a call that it’s on it’s way. I’ll decide then if I still want it or not as I might have moved on to something else.

I haven’t seen any CEs in the US yet but have seen a few for sale on UK sites. When I checked in a few weeks ago with my SA VISTA had updated my build from Dec. to Nov. but still with a Jan ‘22 delivery. Here’s hoping!
