My local dealer (Southampton UK) hasn't been very forthcoming on details since I paid a deposit of £1K in January. Last I heard, delivery would be end of September (details that I can check up on).

Due to a change in circumstances, I'm thinking of defaulting on the purchase. Anyone interested, so I can get my deposit back?

Isn't it fully refundable anyway?

If you don't have a firm delivery commitment, and have not been able to test drive the car, I would be surprised if you cannot just cancel any order, and recover your deposit.

I would be really surprised if there is any prospect of you getting delivery in the UK of an HSE by the end of September if you only paid a £1k deposit in January 2018. I put my deposit down 18 months ago, and firm ordered in March, and mine won't be delivered until January 2019.

I suggest you talk with your dealer, and if you do not get satisfaction, talk to JLR directly.

I phoned them in January, and made a £1K deposit on CC. No terms were discussed.
In March they asked for my spec.
In July I asked for an update, and they said "The car is showing the end of September at this stage."

That was the last communication I had.

They should have sent you a detailed order breakdown for you to confirm it was correct, and also an order form for you to sign up to (including terms). If you paid a deposit be credit card then I cannot see you having any difficulty recovering it under the circumstances you describe. You need to contact them.

Ok, thanks. If it's delayed to January that might actually work for me.

How can u order without paying anything ? I thought u have to pay at least 10% when ordering. I paid 20% ...

Can you change the order to LHD?

I'm interested. PM me if the build date is too early for you.

I guess from their perspective, selling it wont be a problem if it ends up on the forecourt.

I think I will just wait it out. I didn't know about the delays. If it does turn up, and I am not in the position to buy it, I'll ask for my deposit.

I did not make any deposit or payment. Just signed the contract which is pretty much the normal procedure in NL.
