Tnjetjock Posted November 16, 2020 Member ID: 757 Content Count: 1 Reputation: 0 Joined: 11/16/2020 Status: Offline Last Seen: November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I have been considering the purchase of a new Defender for two months now but was told by someone in "the know" that it might not be a good time. Of course this does make sense to me considering inventories are extremely low and the wait times for a new Defender are approaching two months, if it is a unit that the dealer doesn't already have. Rebates and incentives are long gone and dealers don't have to come off the price much or at all to move their units. Compounding this is the fact that the used market is non-existent.

This might be more of a regional/inventory issue. Is there a specific reason why it wouldn't be a good time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your opinions? I totally agree with your statement. My local dealership has no Defenders in stock and is unsure of the availability.

A hunt 2 remember Posted December 20, 2020 Member ID: 274 Content Count: 639 Reputation: 112 Joined: 11/22/2019 Status: Offline Last Seen: January 12 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Well, I talked with the owner of one of our local dealers... and it's TRUE!!! Due to the plandemic, inventories on all CanAm products will be in SHORT SUPPLY... Right now due to customs and holds at the border... And I'm sure pre/back ordered rigs will take a good chunk of the rest of the resources... So finding a Defender during a "walk in" at your local dealer may only be to see someone elses rig getting ready to go.... Maybe by 22 they will have some of the issues they've had with AC/heater units... as well as visco lok and front end issues... goid luck in your search. Joe Welcome to the forum!!

If you are holding out for better pricing you may be disappointed. Manufacturers don't need to offer incentives on models that they are selling out of.
