I received an email this week offering £11-18K discounts off new Jaguar XK's from stratstones

I think they are pricing out customers who have been loyal through JLR's hard times and eventually it will bite  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

I'd say the economic climate is the biggest killer at the moment.

People must be feeling the pinch and spending £60k odd on a new car isn't something people are queuing up to do, not just JLR, but all brands in that price bracket I would imagine.
Could also be a combination of a few factors as you've said, I would imaging JLR have satisfied the initial demand from pre/early orders and are now settling down into producing for those that order afresh. Possible new model on the horizon could make people think twice possibly too

That said, I saw a post recently (twitter maybe ) from LPR saying they'd had a bumper weekend of orders, so the monies still there for some.

Oh, and 0% is a cracking deal, wish I'd got that  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

They are doing the same on FL2 GS as well.... if they still have something similar in June thats SWMBO next car sorted... 2011 MY- RRS HSE - Zermatt -Ebony-Piano .... its a monochrome world

according to someone i know in the trade, top end cars are still selling well, if you have £60-100k to spend you dont really care about recession, grandfathers inheritance looks after that!! it is the £25-40k bracket that is suffering just now aparently!

cheers
dave MY10 TDV6 SE (debadged ), Santorini Black, Flappy paddles, Privacy Glass, 20" Stormers, Mudflaps!

Gone: a comprehensive list of imprezas and a Merc ML AMG

I am particularly interested in the 0% finance as I am poised to press the button on a new order.... do you have any more details you can share?

Thanks

If they do 0% on the Evoque (which I very much doubt) later this year, Mrs Beans car would be sorted too  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Farnell Flyer states it is an exclusive deal ... to be fair can't see it on the LR website

Details below .... but as always ring through and chat to Farnells directly

Range Rover Sport 3.0 SDV6 HSE

Cash Price 55 995

Deposit 16798.40

Amount of Credit 39196

Interest Charges 0

23 monthly payments 580.20

GMFV 25852

Perhaps LPR can say whether this is exclusive to farnells or is being offered by LR Finance across the dealerships. Farnell have just won Dealer of the Year from LR .

Used them myself about 4 years ago for a defender ... was very impressed. 2011 MY- RRS HSE - Zermatt -Ebony-Piano .... its a monochrome world

Obviously they havn't filed foxy's many complaints

but you can get 7% off a new one...isnt it better to buy outright?

Yes but you should still be able to get the 0% deal even after you have negotiated the 7% disount
