A good friend of mine ordered a New Range Rover 13 months ago and was told it's a 12 month delivery time, not a problem as he was spending 6 months out of the country. Anyway 12 month's he contacted Land Rover to ask about the delivery day. His answer was we don't even have a build date oh and by the way the price has gone up £30k.
He then started ringing round to see if any dealer's had cancelled orders or something he might like. Basically he was told nothing available and he would have to be patient, not even a demonstrator available. He rung Bentley just out of interest because with the new price he was going to be spending close to that money anyway.. He was offered a demonstator with1200 miles on it or a cancellation order in about 4 weeks. He asked if he liked the demonstator how quickly could he have it,? Basically he was told if he looked at it before 10am he could have it the same day.. He was there at 9am and was driving it home at 1pm. It's 2 month's old and he paid about the same as he was going to pay for the Land Rover if it ever arrived.
