hi guys my farther in law ordered his my2010 rrs 12 weeks ago under the lr 0% finance deal pay half now pay the rest in a couple of years apparently this was the deal that lr where doing back then anyway gets a call from the dealer tuesday to say car is in pick it up friday gets a call from the dealer today to say lr are not doing the 0% deal anymore so are unable to honour the package needless to say he is gobsmacked turns out he is going to have to buy the car outright which is what he intended to do before the dealer offered him this package i was just wondering if this has happend to anyone else and if he pays for the car outright is he entitled to any money off what he is paying for it any feed back would be great

I know what I would do,tell them to do one and place another order elsewhere then name and shame them. MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

Walk away 's

What if he couldn't afford to buy another way

thats just it there lucky he can pay outright because he has waited so long for it and has had it specked to him also tracker fitted he is just going to get it its took a bit of joy out of it for him

If he really wants the car, i would ask for at least 5% discount. How do they get away with this?

They have broken there contract, Tell them to poke it and go elsewhere  Cheers Paul

0% APP deal finished at the end of March, so I'm not sure why your dealer didn't discuss this. They can get it to 0% if they subsidise it, therefore they need to honour whatever is on the order form.

Q2 ends at the end of this month however LR Finance will honour the current deals until 1st Sept as long as they are signed up over the next few days.

Thanks for responses guys - He is going in tomorrow to pick it up and pay in full and see what they can give him for his inconvenience.

Sound advice to use from James

Not sure why you would go in and pay in full if they honour (or should) the deal................why give them the money when you can make a profit for the next 2 years and then pay........lunacy

Totally Agree. Insist they honour the original deal or you will walk away. Why on earth would your father want to play into the hands of such an unscrupulous dealer?  2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

I disagree. The deal is only valid if the car is delivered while the deal is available, this should have been highlighted by the dealer. So what happens now. Well the 0% APP, is not free money, in this case as I understand it, the dealer effectively pays the finance company the interest that would have been due on the loan. This means that the purchaser doesn't get as a good a discount on the vehicle as you might if you were to pay by cash. So what does mean for you, well, you were always going to pay cash, so you should go back to the dealer and negotiate a straight cash purchase without the finance, as your dealer will now effectively be pocketing the interest payment that would have been owed to the finance company.

Gazzer, you are on the right lines however LR pay the interest as opposed to the dealer, therefore the purchase price would not be affected. If an offer of 0% has been formally made then it will be on the order form and the dealer will be contracturally bound.

There is a huge shortage of stock, therefore any discount at the moment is worth taking regardless of the funding method.
