Do we think JLR will build another step up for the V8 with a SVR or SVX badge

-Some of the fees seem like hidden ones $343 for TTL, an inventory fee, and tinted windows. Will Land Rover negotiate, or is the V8 Carpathian in such high demand they prefer I walk so they can sell for higher price?



Your three other items all sound reasonable but the $$$ for the TTL and other fees is 100% dealer profit. LR has minimal to no influence on these extraneous fees dealers charge. I've seen even worse dealers tack on "mandatory" $3-4000 fees for ceramic coatings, LoJack (they claim for "inventory control" even though you can easily track modern LR through telematics) and state inspections for LIFE ($20/yr. Will take 400 years to recoup cost). It really varies dealer to dealer and state to state. Some states have a cap on these fees, others have no issue with them adding $800+ for their porter to screw tags on your vehicle.

Anyone noted the price increase for the Carpathian edition ? The 110 has gone up £5k Plus it seems production delays due the "chip" issue.

If I have agreed to pay the £101k with the dealership, surely I would not be expected to now pay the £5k increase? Is this correct? JE Zulu 110 now sold

If the price for the V8 is in USA dollars we are getting seriously shafted in the UK for V8s.

That is correct. Seems there was a 3 week window when the price was incorrect. The only difference to the V8 is the satin wrap, black bonnet and rear door and signature .

The Carpathian editions were always $5k more than the V8, which is about the price of a wrap here in the US. All V8s received a $5k increase in the last two weeks, regardless of Carpathian or not.

Has anyone got any idea why the air compressor option isn’t available for the v8

Maybe because it comes with 22" alloys - so realistically can not go offroad?
