Was talking to a car dealer friend last night and he cannot get hold of Range Rover Vogues at all. He has a 'deal' with a mainline LR dealer where he takes 12 RR's per year and then puts them out on lease locally. Apparently they are all being shipped abroad hence why there is low stock. The main LR he deals with has 4 dealerships and between them as of yesterday they had 3 new RR vogues in stock to sell. There is no discount available.
My friend is a mainline dealer for a Jap make of car but he is not having the same issues with new cars and orders are being delivered to him on time. His problem is he cannot get hold of used stock because the car auctions are now making retail prices.
He actually bought in a 19 plate RR Vogue in August for £61,000. Sat in it and sold it last week at £72,000.
I've another friend who ordered a BMW 1 on lease for his wife in July and its still not arrived. Its now 16 weeks since order conformation and the lease company cannot tell him when it will be coming so he's stuck hiring a car short term which is costing a lot more than a lease.
