With the order book full or almost full for 2023 I think LR are basically just taking the p, as they can.

I'm waiting for my salesman to come back to me with revised lease. (2 emails and a phone call not returned).

Looking at Nationwide Vehicle Contracts they are quoting £1250 + vat per month on my spec and lease terms which would be a 25% increase over the quote I have from LR when I ordered (£990 + vat on p440e Dynamic SE, Carpathian Grey, privacy, clearsight and premium cabin lightling).

If it is a 25% increase I'll cancel. Plenty other nice machinery I can get for £1k + vat per month.

Problem is the depreciation values have not factored in yet so while price rise was *just* 5% if future value is still the same then the difference affects your PCP or lease amount.

The insurance situation concerns me too. Still can't find any quote below £2k (current Discovery p300e is £450, 25 + yrs no claims, no convictions rural Northumberland).

Two price increases since launch without any updates in spec or MY so i understand the upset.

My spec today would cost £7500 more than when i ordered luckily i have my car and only paid the first increase like many others which was £1200

PCP rate today would also be 3% higher

GFV would be £900 less.

Im not even happy with the car so im glad im not paying the extra for it but thats going off topic.

Ordered a RRS P440E Autobiography in May 2022 and still don't have a build date.

My LR dealer recently informed me that the SV Bespoke 22" 5131 wheels and the forged carbon finisher are causing delays. They advised that I should remove these options to stand a better chance of getting a build slot. However, I am reluctant to start changing the specification after waiting for so long with no news.

Also, has anyone else noticed the significant price hike this week? According to the online configurator, the RRS P440E AB has gone up around £5000 (on top of the £1200 last summer). I just hope this price increase won't apply to outstanding orders!

I have received notification that my RRS order is now slotted. The car will be built in July and delivered towards the end of August.

The 22" 5131 wheels and forged carbon finisher are still on the order form so it seems that holding out for my original spec has paid off.

My P440e Dynamic SE now has a build slot and is pencilled in to land at the dealership around the middle of June. By the time I get it, it'll be almost exactly 12 months from ordering.

My Dealer does update me every 6 weeks by video message, only to saying its in the pool awaiting a build slot

Ordered in June 2022, P440e Autobio, was £103k now £109k not happy they have done this but also getting an insurance quotes of £2800 with Greater London postcode,

Should I down grade to a Velar or Keep the current P400e RRS still getting quotes of £1500 for the insurance.

>>>update

I've cancelled.

Dealer came back with a 19% increase on my order. Can't / won't explain why list price went up by 'only' 5% yet lease goes up by 19% in less than a week.

So £980 + vat becomes £1170 + vat. As there is at least a year before delivery it feels like the price could be whatever they wanted so I'm not taking that risk.

I've been talking to Audi for an e-tron GT at similar list at £95k (very different car admittedly), lease at £1k + vat on same terms and they have a price guarantee that the price on order is the price you pay no matter the delivery time.

I don't understand how someone can enter into a contract and not know what they will pay a year down the line unless they are David Beckam and aren't bothered.
bothered.

I don’t blame you.

I’ve had a P440E Dynamic SE on order since September, since placing the order the price has gone up nearly 6k. The PCP costs have gone up by over a third, as the original finance quote is only valid for 2 quarters.

Like yourself I’m about to cancel the order. The new BMX X5 will be in the showroom shortly, probably be a more reliable car with superior build quality. Let’s wait and see.

Just had an update from the dealer, they are waiting for a list of orders that will have to be re-slotted to the new MY. Given I'm in the holding pool with no sign of a build slot the wait is only going to be longer I expect

They're certainly building RRSs - I see plenty on transporters going down the M40/A34 to the docks for export. I guess that's the problem - exports possibly more profitable for LR? 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Very likely. With the value of Sterling having been bombed out since 2016 it has to make sense to export to those markets where the currency is relatively stronger rather than sell into the UK market, especially in those markets which are bigger than the UK (ie USA). In any case looking at the latest UK export figures we need every export we can get

Interesting to hear how many people have got their order within 12 months. I’m currently 9 months in and should be getting a build slot in the next month (fingers crossed). However, I’ve not seen many posts with orders in Jul/Aug 22 and successfully getting build slots around now. Anyone ordered there’s around the same time and had a build slot?

I was about to cancel my order due to the price increase and poor customer service, but worked out i could save £400pm on my ‘updated’ pcp deal (went from £650 to £1000pm inc VAT after price rise) by releasing equity in my house at c.4% (vs 8.9% JLR Finance). Would recommend that option to those that are considering cancelling their order, as long as it doesnt impact your LTV too much. I would look at this option for all future car financing, as long as the depreciation isn’t too steep and you have a chunky deposit.

As you've ordered a PHEV version, not a chance on this earth, if my experience is anything to go by.

I ordered a p510 FE in very early May 22, still no build date, still no firm indication of how much the car will cost, but I have been told that it isn't price protected.... although the last 'update' that I dragged out of the dealer indicated that "there was some price protection, but no confirmation from JLR as to how much that might be". Useless. Although, apparently JLR have committed to build all FE, and they will be MY23?!

Interestingly, if you take a little look at the latest aerial shots of the factory on google maps, the stock yard appears to be full of FFRR and RRS, to the point that they are stashed outside in every spare bit of space they have available. It has been suggested to me that these are all new cars, missing various bits and bobs and awaiting parts so they can be sent out. Chances are, many orders are already built and sitting outside the factory (parked on a roadway or next to the scrap yard/bins etc) with half a dashboard or something.
