Is it by any chance a sub 2000 mile 3 month old one?

No, I ordered it first week in Jan. Bit strange but had to sign a disclaimer to say I wouldn’t sell it to anyone except LR in the next 12 months?!Is it by any chance a sub 2000 mile 3 month old one?

Don’t think the new vs nearly new thing is unique, when my later father ordered his discovery 4 commercial he was offered one in stock with something like 1500 miles for a few k more than a new one, or wait 6 months for his. he just laughed and said I’m happy to wait!

That would have to have a significant price drop to get me to sign that or a guaranteed price off Land Rover to get out of it if I wanted to

Read that too quick, read it as: 'got myself 2 ladies', then expected you to be in a photo festooned with two women wearing not a great deal.
No you strayed into Bald Rick's wet dream

So what's the hold up with them?
From Nitra in Slovakia is it?

no idea
I think Land Rover learn’t about supply and demand in the last couple of years when their vehicles were in shorter supply and the values of them new and used rocketed. So perhaps they’re holding back the reigns a bit now to try and keep that demand up? To be fair it seems to be working to a certain degree, the cheapest defender on auto trader is still north of 40 grand. It’s a basic 4 cylinder model with 90k miles. That car would only have been a few thousand £ more than that brand new.

since covid things seem to have gone nuts,another example.
I bought this bike in July as a pre reg
in November the same dealer offered what I paid for it against a new higher spec bike and it’s going to work out £80@month less roughly,so I’ve got this coming in April,all these deals have taken place with a dealer in another country and all been done unseen.
Nothing untoward but just playing the market,the bike they took back from me last July is actually still on their website for more than it cost me new in 2022

Did you look at a 130?
I like the new defender but it’s just not as big as d4 for 4 kids in 7 seat layout
