| Do They Really Think This Is A Good Deal?? |
|
My local main dealer has closed 2 small dealerships and opened a new super dooper one up the road.
Consequently I’ve received several emails, the most recent offering me a £1500 deposit contribution and an APR of 10.9% on a PCP deal 
Is it me or have LR dealers taken the same non reality pill as your average MP!!
And just to rub the salt in, if I did bother to take a drive down there I’d be told my 2015 D4 was the creation of Satan and they’ll offer me sixpence 
How they can send out stuff like that and claim it’s a great deal is beyond me.
I do realise I could probably haggle a better deal, but why send the stuff in the 1st place!!
As every day passes I think my 20 year old marriage with LR is heading for divorce. Discovery 4 HSE

I got a £4K “contribution” for taking out the 10.9% PCP deal on my 2017 FFRR. I’ll be moving that to another finance company this month at 5.9%.  2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
2010 D4 HSE (A bit bling)-GONE
2014 D4 HSE (Almost too bling)-GONE
2015 D4 HSE (A heated what?)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Written Off)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Surely the last!) PD1881 rims-GONE

Take the finance contribution and pay it off ASAP.
I kept one a grand total of 22 hours before cancelling it at a cost of £6 odd.
I got the impression that the dealership knew what I was up to and discouraged the practice, but I’ve heard that if you cancel before 28 days, they have to repay commission for you taking out the deal.
S  t happens.

I keep looking at that offer. Seems a bit too good to be true. Have up to the 31st Dec to make up my mind and to try and persuade the wife that we really do need a 5.0 V8 for taking the dogs around (as a fourth car).
Maybe an SDV8?

I believe you have a 14 day cooling off period with a finance deal, and if you cancel in that period there are zero charges.
I just did this on my car.

I was happy to make one payment at the stupid rate. I told the LR dealer before agreeing the deal exactly what I’d be doing. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

I understand the principle of paying the loan off straight away, but I found the £1500 contribution more insulting.
Admittedly it’s been a few years since I’ve been in the market, but I thought big diesels were being given away these days
Judging by the way the value of mine goes down every time I go on WBAC they don’t seem to be in great demand. Discovery 4 HSE
