2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black

Please Help....need advise from all the RRS guys out there..

Ordered a RRS in Switzerland in February which was already on back order from the Dealer in November last year and the car was to arrive end of May.
Now, my dealer forwards me a letter from Land Rover Switzerland saying that due to many requests my car was postponed for early 2007
Apparently the dealer is not allowed to order a car without a written contract with a client. That means that the effective date of order was Feb.'06 and not Nov.'04!

Do you know how it works in other countries? Would I be able to get one sooner in the UK? Any Ideas folks?

Should be able to get into an RRS from a UK dealer way before 2007, even if you had to order it from scratch today.... you'd just have to work out the logistics of having it delivered overseas if it wasn't a "local" order in the first place

If I would order a LHD at a UK dealer how long would I have to wait?
Could pick up the car myself. Would get the car exempt VAT, right?

A dealer can order as many cars as he wants, with our without a signed contract with a client and lots of dealers do order a few of cars to have something to display in their showrooms. I reckon that in your case somebody was just quicker signing on the dotted line... It's first come first serve, isn't it?

When I went in to see my dealer a fortnight ago for a software upgrade of the PTI system I was also told that people having placed an order for a diesel in March will have to wait til spring 2007 for their cars to arrive. Amazing! Apparently the reason behind this is a serious shortage of TDV6 diesel engines... Can you Brits confirm this?

No such waiting list for the V8 though. You should be able to get one in about three months.

BTW I would avoid buying "offshore". If you are unlucky and get a lemon or even with a car with few technical faults you'll still need to get software updates, bring it in for recalls, etc, etc. (just check the various posts in this forum) and I can assure you that LR Switzerland will not treat you the same way as if you would have bought from them.

Roland, under EU comsumer regs the warranty is enforcable anywhere in Europe, and I think that even counts in Switzerland even though it isn't a member of the EU. The dealers don't like it because they have to do warranty work on a car they didn't supply and have to wait months for the money to be refunded by LR. The same thing happens here in the UK if you buy your car from one dealer then take it to another for warranty work, the second dealer will do all he can to stall you!

There isn't a shortage of TDv6 enginbes here as far I am aware, but because of the huge number of cars going for export lead in times for factory order cars is 12-16 weeks here. Many dealers have new unregistered cars in stock so if you are prepared to make spec or colour compromises you can get them without a long wait.

On the subject of TDV6 shortages, I don't know if there are shortages or not, but just remember how many different cars use this engine.

I know BMW had massive supply issues out of their Austrian diesel plant due mostly to UK demand. Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award
