I do not see what your problem is, sounds like a good idea to me to keep profiteers out of the market.

I am surprised your consumer laws allow such a thing. You are buying the vehicle so ownership transfers to the buyer - it is not like computer software and some music where ownership is retained by the seller you you are effectively just buying a licence to use the item.

The restrictions LR have introduced in the UK have not happened in Australia and if they did they would be struck down.

I am asking the same question, I understand that my PCP is a tri party agreement between the dealership, finance company and myself, JLR Financial services have confirmed that they are unaware of this practise, also they have no paperwork relating to this?

JLR financial services said that the finance manager responsible for this large dealership group cannot respond as the paperwork is between the dealership and myself ?? I think we all have an idea why he doesn't want to tread on any toes, I have raised a complaint with JLR Financial services and await their response, the next step is the FCA and Ombudsman ?

Sorry I cannot post the poll can I please ask another member to post on my behalf?

I don't see what's wrong with this - its been done by Porsche, Ferrari etc for years on their more desirable models. It just stops someone buying a popular car and flipping straight away for a huge mark up.

Was particularly bad with the new Defender V8 going for £50k over list.... so this stops people doing that.

The legality of it is questionable in a court of law - as you are ultimately disposing of an asset you own. But at a dealer level - it's a mild threat. Now

Perhaps it depends on how this plays out on this particular use case: let’s say you had a “legitimate” reason for selling, eg unexpectedly being expat’ed to another country. Your only option under the contract is to sell it back to the dealer. You get lowballed, only to find your car is now back on the market for (say) +$50K. Has the dealer unfairly enriched himself at your expense? What recourse might you have? I suspect none. MY21.5 HSE 221KW D16

If JLR are aware of dealers doing this pre-sale contract and also are turning a blind eye to the ridiculous amount of zero miles pre-registered cars going up for 10-20-30k+ over RRP then that's a bit much even for JLR.

With that being said nothing surprises me with JLR anymore. Non JLR Vehicle
