I phoned the next nearest dealer to the one in question to see if they had heard anything like this before and they just said that they had never heard anything so rediculous!! oh well the search continues I'm not so sure I'd want to be buying a car off them anyway!!!

Absolutely no way I'd give them your business after such a ridiculous situation.
You should name and shame them on the forum. You'll find the right car elsewhere,
There are heaps of used Sports out there  2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

Rubbish - Drop em in the mire - email and ask Land Rover customer service if they are aware of the dealer's sales policy

Try Nicky here http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/land-rover-...-vf35.html

^^^ Good luck with Nicky. 6 posts in total the last on 23rd of July. She lasted 3 days

Also how would the policy work if I bought an RRS from them due to a new job or whatever and then moved away out of the area. It all sounds very fishy. Look forward to hearing about the outcome.

In Nicky's deffence, she sorted out my diff issues and got me lots% off my Fullfat. She was promoted I believe. On the dealer problem, I had this with Mercedes. I wanted to buy a car from London as our office was there but lived in Ireland so had same issue. Was easily resolved 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

That's bizarre!

My RRS was 212 miles away from where I live and they delivered it at no extra cost! Current car: Porsche 911 Carrera S PDK (997.2) Past Car: (MY12) Range Rover Sport HSE SDV6 - Orkney Grey with Almond interior
Bike:Ducati Monster 1100 EVO

On freel2 there is a Landrover customer care section and the new guy is Liam@LRCS has he not joined here

I may of scared them all off here



The 50 mile policy is a joke

They don't deserve the sale - I have gone wherever the deal is best including Nottingham, Derby and Manchester as well as local - how would they even know where you live until you give your address for the transfer  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

You think they would of snatched your arm off. Great he lives miles away when the problems start we wont see him.  SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

When I bought my first RRS from my local Landrover dealer they sourced the car for me 200ish miles away! Go to your local LR dealer and surely they will get you the same car and bring it to you and that branch will lose the profits.
Very strange. Spud

I wonder if the salesman, or a friend, want to buy it and hope that if they scare customers away then they'll get a better deal. It's about the only thing I can think - no way the dealer principal has told his salesmen to turn away sales based on distance. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
