Thanks Ben,

That’s really helpful, it will be interesting to see what explanations my dealer / jlr offer for such a difference in wait times considering we have ordered pretty much the same vehicle

Thanks again

It’s the way dealer allocations work. If your dealer had more Defender orders than another, you’ll wait longer than a person who orders at the other dealer. It works this way with all manufacturers that have franchise dealers.

Dealer allocations can get adjusted/negotiated to correct any major discrepancies, but this is done at a dealer level, not an individual order level.

Given the public statement by LR that due to component shortages they are prioritizing higher value orders over lower value defenders then it looks like you going to have a low chance of trying to get yours prioritized.
