Ordering new defender

td5landy · Feb 25, 2015

I'm ordering a new defender to replace my td5. The dealer doesn't actually seem that knowledgable. I'm looking at a 90 hardtop (panel van), there is an entry level and an XS model, the difference between them is £5000, However it seems you can spec a base model to xs spec for £2000. Surely I'm missing something here?

What do you get on an XS over a base model, the brochure is poor.

Thanks in advance

The XS model you get:

air con
half leather seats
colour coded roof
metallic paint option
radio
alloys

Annnnd possible colour coded wheel arches

I didn't bother and just upgraded to alloys, the paint option and added colour coded wheel arches. I fitted my own stereo and if it gets too hot - open the window

My XS came with:

Half leather seats
Heated seats
Air conditioning
Side runners/steps
Audio system with Bluetooth
Boost alloys
Body coloured roof
Body coloured wheel arches
Black suede (I think) headliner
Leather cubby box
Front and rear mud flaps
Brunel finish grille and headlight surrounds
A bouquet of flowers
A bottle of champagne

Pretty sure that's the main differences.

Just out of interest, how long is the dealer advising for delivery on a new defender?
