March 29 2019 I am due to travel from Europe to the UK........... will be interesting to see if I need a Shenghen Visa to leave my ship in Rotterdam like all my Asian crew. My Ukrainian officers now don’t need a visa if they have a Biometric Passport in preparation for Ukraine eventually joining the EU - I bet i’ll need one as Brussels vents it’s spleen at one of its biggest contributors leaving......... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I have been a member of this forum for a number of years and would love to own a new RR Sport or Full Fat, but they always seem to be just out of budget and I end up buying something else.

However with all this talk of falling sales could this be just the start of making the cars more accessible?

2 things....... is it a pre-reg car (in which case you are buying a very expensive used car at the price of a new car) and 6.9% APR.......... JLR needs to shop around to make it more attractive to finance through their appointed finance house. Their cars are not selling very well at the moment but they aren’t making it very attractive to buy one either! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Sorry, I meant to mention in my original post the cost of the Velar which can be bought for a deposit of £439 and £439 a month at 3.9% Apr and wondered whether similar deals will be offered on the Sport and FF...

gibbo,,the reason they are offering good deals on the Velar is probably because they are struggling to sell them,over priced for what they are.

Tim, it's hardly Brussels venting their spleen. The UK wishes to leave and if we end up doing that it will be our choice to have left that organisation, and thus be treated like any other non member state.

I don't actually know the reason for the drop in sales that JLR is experiencing, but I don't think it's just down to product quality. The 2018 JD Power Dependability survey has JLR below average, but above Audi, and significantly above BMW (in terms of faults per 100 vehicles).
I know those of us who are older, still default to the "German cars = reliable, British car = unreliable". Though that's not really the case so much at the moment.

One thing I have noticed is that BMW in two cases that concerned me, have made significant contributions to big failures in their cars, which went a long way to keeping me loyal. (Rear diff mount in E46, and rebuild engine in previous model 520d).
