Finally...after months of waiting...its here....

Yes, after 3 1/2 months, I finally got ...

A price list in the post...

Oh..but hang on, its the 2006 pricelist. Why not send out a 2007 pricelist that came into effect 6 or 7 weeks ago ? Why send out one that is out of date ?

So, nothing has changed at the dealerships then ?? Still waiting for Guy Salmon Thames Ditton to return my 3 calls from 4 months back....

Still excellent at being utterly useless

PS - Morning everyone

Damian - I know your frustration with the sales at Thames Ditton. My salesman JD failed to return calls even when I tell him that I wanted to buy a D3 urgently! I told him the deal I had and could he match it, well no call or email so now I will never buy another car off Guy Salmon again. On the plus side their service department is very good. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

This is often the case with dealerships (of any marque) - they either have crap sales staff and a great service dept, or they have a crap service dept and great sales folks. Rarely both...

maybe the "secret" to good service is to be known to the dealer ? I get excellent service from BMW because of this ( i think anyway )

That works pretty well with the dealer/service crowd I use, problem is they just won't think of a discount on a new car so after 6 LR products from them I will be looking for a deal from somebody else when it comes to buying the next car 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Hi Damian

I had a similar situation with Thames Ditton - made me go elsewhere ! (I was down there way yesterday and see that there showroom is now a building site - major renovation going on. Maybe they'll renovate the staff too !!!)

I'd highly recommend Steve Southgate at Hadley Green Land Rover in High Barnet. I know they're probably not local to you, but its just a short hop round the M25. Their sales service was excellent, and they collect and return the car should it need to be with them fr servicing or the likes.

I got an 06 price list on Wednesday
It was linked to when I replied that yes please I would like a test drive in an SC, trouble was that LR did not tell the dealers that they were offering SC test drives, I spoke to 2 local dealers that said they were no longer running SC demo's as it worked out too expensive.
I rang LR and was told to try TRINITY (hint hint to forum member), spoke to a sales guy who said he would ring me back and never did.

I have now had three 06 price lists and a HST brochure, well done LR

Well if they can't give you a test drive then maybe if you keep looking at the price you may buy one!

It's all a selling ploy you see RRS TDV6 Gone but still around
