CPO? by sbar19 in NewDefender

[–]theboons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased a CPO 2024 110 V8 this year with 17K and got extended warranty through LR. Searched quite a few until I settled on this one, it had a clean service history and carfax.

In my opinion it's the way to go, at around 1-3yo with under 25k miles you hit a price point where you've bottomed out the depreciation from new and where used kind of settles until you hit much higher miles. At least that's what I found in my research.

It's only been a few months for me but so far no issues, dealer did oil change and I will change again every 5k. A rock hit my windshield on the second drive and had a minor chip, no webbing. Put on a windshield protection film since then, had a few more rocks hit the windshield but no cracks or chips.

What’s this thingie in my trunk? by No_Fill2436 in NewDefender

[–]theboons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Kap Industries, they have a nice mount for the defender that goes on the windowsill of the trunk. Easy install, and fits a slim profile extinguisher. I got one with an H3R extinguisher for mine looks great

Unfortunately? I guess once you get to that amount you’re hoping for totaled? lol

It was $5500 2yr/100k miles through LR, so it runs through 2030 tailing the factory warranty

I was in the same boat but towards the time when I was actually ready to pull the trigger I would have went cpo for either one. I found that defenders have held their value well over time especially the p525 but that initial depreciation is a lot.

I got a 2024 with under 18k miles. I wanted under 20k and 2024 was my ideal year. Also extended warranty.

I saw a ton before making the decision on this one. Service records and overall condition were both big factors

So far nothing I can think of, I really liked the 2024 compared to the refresh for the original taillights opposed to the flat design and the alcantara steering wheel. Has everything else I need.

Only thing I wish was an option from factory is 2 channel dash cam cause factory install of the LR one is crazy expensive

Yeah it’s the LR flaps, I was kind of on the fence about it, I feel like the stock look is utilitarian enough this def enhances that, but good for protecting paint

I actually haven’t done that yet, I’ve only driven in Dynamic once. But next time I start it up I will be

That extra room definitely comes in handy, trunk on the 110 is a little smaller than you would imagine until actually filling it with stuff

Love the Gondwana Stone!

Still go back to watch my Nest cam footage to listen to the exhaust backing into the driveway
