Difference to find or receive in this scenario.
Is that a Nitra Slovakia made vehicle too.

if you go back through here you’ll find that I traded a feb registered 2018 discovery 5 commercial with 30k on the clock in Jan 22 for another disco 5 commercial which cost circa 7k to change,I had a defender on order for 18 months which turned up December 22 so I swapped the disco in with 7000miles on the clock and the dealer gave me 8k back to change,I then had that first defender for 2 months and dealer rang to say they had a cancelled order higher spec defender available and if I wanted it I could swap for no money!! Which I did,the first defender went back with 1700 miles on it,it’s currently advertised for a lot more than it cost me new

You must have a better dealer down your way,did a deal to change my discovery in Oct 21,march 22 delivery £13k to change,delivery date kept getting pushed back,last update was Feb 23 delivery,asked whether they were going to stand on the deal, salesman laughed down the phone,no sir,will be £29k to change now!! Needless to say I told him where to stick it,love my discovery but if that's the way land rover want to treat there customers then I will have something else.

LR dealers do seem to vary,the price quoted when I ordered my defender was the price I paid 18 months later! Yet you hear of some that have had to pay more

Yes but Finland is cool. It's the land of Valtras for a start. I'd view disproportionately expensive Land Rovers as a good thing for your country. (y)
Car market is going in the direction that greatly favours Ev's. No car tax (RR probably has 20k€+ of car tax in its price, whilst super cars easily have 100% car tax (Lambo huracan ~220k€ + 220k€ car tax)), so when going for large suv's you'll get way more for your money when buying Ev rather than an ICE suv. Same goes for performance Ev's.

Good- if people can afford stupid cars like that they won't mind paying a 100% tax on them.
