JLR made a massive mistake targeting luxury market, latest defender should have been ultra utility

Agreed! They got greedy and unnecessarily messed with a winning formula. The delineation between RR and LR, the roles they filled, and who each set of customers were was not only very clear but also, because of their abilities, common knowledge across the world. And despite crap reliability they still hold an almost mythic reputation. Now however, LR are a luxury item with a premium price just like RR. And all those life-long/repeat Land Rover customers now drive a Japanese or Korean 4x4

Fashionable… but the problem child

Just had my insurance renewal for my 2010 L322 , up from £720 to £1440, a 100% increase.

I saw an auction up north, well away from the Smoke, and all the JLR vehicles were not even getting a bid on 3-4k under cap clean and therefore going unsold. Figures from car dealer magazine etc is like MSM, full of bullshit. Any buyer with a brain will wait until well into next year.

I gather from your report you’ve never owned a RR, I’ve had several over the years and can honestly say I have never broken down with any of them not even a puncher,there’s so much bullshit said about these vehicles, they can be expensive to repair but in many cases it’s the owner not the vehicle, they neglect the maintenance and rant on about how bad they are probably because of LR dealers horrendous prices for spares and labour costs,keep away from main agents like I do and things aren’t that bad or if your capable do your own repairs and servicing,buying aftermarket spares of the internet is a good place to get parts at a fraction of LR prices,I have a LR specialist near me who’s great and has all the latest diagnostic software and most of the time it’s just a matter of plugging it in to find the fault if they occur,they are a very technological vehicle with all the systems to them and a simple sensor can cause all sorts of problems when they fail. People expect to run these vehicles on a shoestring and buy worn out lumps of shit and find themselves with all sorts of problems because of lack of maintenance previously,they are a luxury vehicle and can cost a lot of money if you don’t know what your doing,their capable of mega mileages if looked after and driven properly,some idiots drive them like sports cars and then winge when things go wrong.

Ppl have finally tired of paying huge prices for shoddily built motors. They've been hyped to death for years but unfortunately spend far too much time in the garage with massive bills.

As Land Rover prices fall people like myself will just hang on to our vehicles instead of trading them in. I’ve had a Discovery Sport from new for 5 years and now has only 37,000 miles on the clock. The trade in values would pay for a deposit and 12 months of payments. No incentive to trade it in for a new one. I’ve disabled the keyless entry. Lovely car to drive. But this means that Land Rover won’t be selling new cars to past customers.

The biggest problem is lack of spare parts. This is fueling the current spate of thefts and leaving lots of RRs on dealers property. JLR need to up their game now or the Brand is history.

Anybody dropping money at any dealership on a used car at the moment needs their bumps feeling.

That particular Inchcape LR dealership was built on a floodplain and has already been flooded, I suspect what’s happened is that they have been unable to get flood coverage when they renewed their insurance…

Like their customers not being about to get theft insurance on their Land Rovers 😂

The argument about only 2 insurance companies providing cover seems to be yesterday's news. In fact, insurance premiums have started to come off significantly and particularly as a spread over other comparable large SUVs (e.g. Q7 and X5). That's why I bought a used RR last week after watching prices fall for a long time as the insurance premium finally came to £2300 vs £1500 for a used Q7 (Greater London area). This and the JLR security update should start to support the market. Having said that, if all used car prices fall it might not be enough.

Unless JLR can get it's act togeather and start looking after it's customers and make all models secure enough so that buyers can insure them then they are going to be a brand to avoid. Far too many are waiting for spare parts that are on backorder for months. I have owned Jaguars in the past, and found some spares to be expensive and hard to find if you want oem parts. All of this is a shame, but will allow other brands to find new customers.

Surely the retail prices have to follow trade prices in the near future. Otherwise the public will just have to buy at auction to pay a fair price. As for JLR I wouldn't go anywhere near one, always been to many horror stories.

Well... Or trade prices are low for a reason. These are known to be unreliable and prone to very expensive bills to fix - as a dealer who's responsible for fixing these faults for a certain period of time, you're going to see that margin dwindle quickly if something goes wrong.

Food for thought Joe. Well explained.

I was looking for an L322. One dealer wanted £23k and several more up at £20k+ for a 2012. WBAC put it at £10k with 60k on the clock. 😮 theres a few dealers still asking crazy money for 12+ yo Range Rovers

I contacted JLR customer relations this week to inform them that LV would not renew insurance from January on a Velar. The helpful lady apologised for the current insurance issue and recommended I contact WRISK LAND ROVER who are now helping JLR with insurance issues. I contacted them with the details .2019 Velar 240D HSE . No accidents no claims no points in the last 40 years Nottingham address. Guess what. They would not even quote!! Unbelievable!

I think with regard to people being told to claim on their insurance for flooding while in a dealership - I gather the same thing is happening with whatever shady outfit runs the car park at Luton airport.

Did posh spice design the power train as well as the styling ? The reliability would suggest both ?

Someone took a drone picture of the flooded dealership, the area where they kept there stock was empty ,they appeared to have been moved ,but all the customer cars had not.

Greedy dealers trying to punt at full retail price while buying in at rock bottom trade prices? Who would have thought eh?

If you want to be truthful, all car makers are having a hard time thanks to high interest rates , EVs are dropping through the floor. So don't talk down JLR with out Ford, Volvo, Porch, Lexus , Tesla, to name but a few.

Struggling to make sense of this as with much else in the world. I mean, nobody wants them yet retail prices still holding and lots about?

Interesting, and I agree, in the real world Range Rover prices have not changed that much. I have been in the market for a full fat Range Rover for a while, and the prices may have changed very slightly but nothing significant.

There is a delay in information awareness between traders, enthusiasts, buyers and the general public. Once the general public starts to hear stories and sound bites of the problems then the prices will plummet. It will be like the reliability stereotype reputation, it will stick even if the newer range rovers are vastly improved.

mine has been in the dealership since Mid November 2023, they cannot get a DPF replacement. Its absolutely ridiculous they cannot get parts for a car to fix them when they go wrong. Avoid like the plague

Garages in Ireland wont take in JLR products because of part backlogs, customers are left hanging. Brand will tank.

I've got an SVR loads of fun!

I’ve just got rid of my Land Rover Discovery Sport, lots of issues, lots of costs, lower values. Never again! Once bitten, twice shy as they say! My advice! Don’t!

Any car buyer can access data on reliability, service costs, insurance costs etc. Why would people ignore this when buying a high cost car?

Used prices may not be coming down because dealers prop up the market by maintaining prices despite less demand, same as estate agents in the housing market. This guy has been told not to spread more panic by his contacts in the industry.

Ive had a couple of XFs and both have been faultless, i find if you look after them they are ok, i would agree that Jaguar customer service leaves a lot to be desired. As far as i understand JLR have or are addressing the security issues but i feel with all the negative media around at the minute the damage will be done and the brand will suffer...fast forward 2 years and we will all be shocked when it becomes another car maker that bites the dust. As for insurance i feel its just another case of big businesses taking the opportunity to fleece the general public. My renewal has just gone up by £300 (20 years + no claims) reasons given...its hard to find parts if the car is damaged 🤔

VEHICLE SCORE suggestion Hi not related to this article but you seem to have the ear of Vehicle Score. A possible suggestion to make the score more accurate. My current car has a mileage discrepancy due to an MOT retake where the mileage was put in incorrectly by 1 mile by the tester. This is noted on Vehicle Score and I guess penalised as clocked. Maybe their system could be adjusted to allow a mileage variant of say 10 miles before flagging to take this into consideration as it must be a common error on many cars and therefore highlight a score that misrepresents the cars history. Best wishes

11:56 now I know my 58 reg vw golf mk5 2.0 tdi sportline worth £400 basically and the dealer made £2400 on the sale, feeling great🤦‍♂️

It’s an insurance scam. I drive a 2015 RR Evoque it does not have keyless go, I am 66 with full no claims etc etc no points convictions yet my renewal quote was over £2000. I live 420 miles from London on a low car crime area so it’s nothing to do with the car etc it’s all about insurance companies ripping people off. I eventually got LR insurance for just over £800. Drivers will soon see that the price will stay high again once this scam is made public notice

Inchape Derby should have public liability you can claim against maybe ?

Landrover/Range rovers etc have had reliability issues for years. Can they not send a couple of their engineers over to Toyota for a while to find out how to build a reliable car?

Individuals who can’t get insurance will HAVE to sell, unless they SORN (in which case the vehicle will be off the road and uninsured, and still liable to theft).

Yes its a nice thing to have but I doubt not having keyless entry is a deal breaker??

Surely the simple practice of putting your car key in a faraday pouch every night would combat the ‘arial dancers’ as there would be no signal for them to intercept. I have a high end BMW and I put the key in a faraday pouch religiously as soon as I enter the house then hide the key. It cost me less than £10 for two pouches and I’ve walked right up to my car with the key in the pouch and tried to open the doors and the car remains locked. Yes, thieves could break into your house for the keys but surly if they couldn’t access your vehicle from outside the house then they’d try and find an easier target 🤔

I've heard a rumour JLR will be offering their own insurance soon

Twiz one hundred percent correct

Range Rover owners should instead buy a Fabia diesel, lose the ego and aggression, and save themselves over £10k a year.

i think is star to bring in Chinese cars they making pretty good hybrid and electric cars

I'd love to have a range rover, big comfy quality interior, ability to get through the snow (I live in the country), but I'd have to run another car for the inevitable occasions when it's in the garage being fixed, so there's no point.

I've had three over the last 14 years without an issue - don't believe half you read....

If I was the head of landrover I would start to produce a car that is simple , cheap, and get rid of all the crap that makes landrovers unreliable.

Terrible on fuel, unreliable, targeted by thieves and my friend just gkt quoted more than £10k to insure. No wonder the price is dropping like a stone.
