Not quite order placed, still hunting around for the best deal/delivery and to date looking at a 6% saving and a (late) June delivery.
Which has got me thinking after seeing this http://www.usedvehicles.landrover.co.uk/de...ls/2831663
No wait time, a good spec and can probably do a deal around the £90k mark which would mean about a £7k/£8k saving versus new (after discount).
Always nice having the ‘latest’ model but given a completely new model will be out in about 2 to 3 years is the face lifted version really worth the 5 month wait and extra expense given that the up grades are all pretty minor? (I think the exhausts, seats and wheels are inferior to the current model)
What does the establishment reckon?!

Hi Cantona, I did see that car as Lookers in London has an identical car for £100k so as you say with some bargaining its a good buy but not the new model which I do prefer. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

@cantona yes I also think the exhaust, wheels and seats are a down grade and I too would prefer a my17 over a brand new one on looks alone, shame because the dash and general new look interior is there, shame they nickle and dimed the look of it - classic JLR! MY18 SCV8 Satin flux silver
Gone:
MY19 SV VELAR AUTOBIOGRAPHY firenze red
MY18 SCV8 Yulong white- perfect 👍
MY16 SDV8 SANTORINI BLACK - perfect 👌
MY64 SCV8 DARK BLUE - nightmare car
MY64 SCV8 FIRENZE RED - loads of annoying issues
MY15 SDV6 FIRENZE RED - perfect 👌
MY12 SDV6 DISCO4 IPANEMA SAND - perfect 👌
MY09 TDV6 SPORT BLUE - lots of issues

Exactly, and like I say, in the not too distant future this model will be history anyway. If the new mods really made the car better then it would be a no brainer but the reality is they don’t (bonnet aside).

I would sooner have that model Cantona over the new one,at least this one looks more aggressive as the new one doesn’t look much differing to the hse model & your saving yourself 10-15k & no waiting list.

Thanks Andy.
And I do especially like the current side vents

Thanks Andrew, appreciate you taking the time to write.
Just when I thought the general consensus was thinking like me
I think the design of the current seats are nicer, but that’s just my opinion.
I know what you are saying and when the new models are out there then that will be the acid test I guess but I do think that ‘side on’ (wheels/air vents) the current model is better looking and the exhausts are not great on the new one.
The one I am looking at is brand new though so it won’t be as if I’ll be in a car that’s a few years old, age wise it will be more or less on a par.
My main train of thought though is that the (complete) new model is not that far away now and by the time i’m 18/24 months down the line it won’t be long before the new order book is opened.
Colour wise, i’ve been wavering between corris and Estoril for a good while now so it’s one of them!

Where’s Phil’s advice when you need it

Fair enough! Over the years when it comes to cars I've made a couple mistakes, not many, but have had the feeling of regret which totally sucks. So my motto now is "never compromise".

And yes design is all opinion and personal. Enjoy your SVR! It was amazing before any design changes and will continue to be amazing after. 2018 Range Rover Sport SVR – Bosphorus Grey

I’ve made about 300 mistakes

So wait . You have had the old model any way!

The discount you have quoted is good as well! SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

A very brief negotiation; ‘we have just taken a deposit on that car I am afraid...’

Sorry to hear that! Hope it wasn't someone on here following your advertising, you should go after some commission!
