Aus-Ipace Posted 11January, 2019 Report Share Posted 11January, 2019 Anyone with a Range Rover on order spot their spec in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Unlucky Posted 11January, 2019 Report Share Posted 11January, 2019 When you consider 3 ships have been sent away from Australia this season and they are the closest country to Australia to do this fumigation they are keen for the future work. This is worth millions to them and I think they will be kept very busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gojaria Posted 12January, 2019 Report Share Posted 12January, 2019 Came to my dealer today as they wanted to "give" me a loan car until my RRS arrives. I read in a few forums that JLR dealerships were not very helpful. But my dealer just loaned be an FPace! I asked if I need to pay. He said "Don't be silly". Unbelievable! BTW he also told be another vessel was turned around named Titania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a loan car but will need to discuss either a discount to the amount I was expecting to pay or to get JLR to cover the extended cost. They gave me a Jaguar XF diesel which is ok, and I am very thankful to have a car, but I really do want the car I ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of feel sorry for them as the salesman was telling me today that they are waiting on so much stock it is really hard. They have next to nothing to sell. Apparently Mercedes have more cars that are trapped on all these boats. Let's keep our fingers crossed that the fumigation has been successful and that customs and quarantine are satisfied when it arrives back in Australian waters. 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canberra JLR Dealership was painful so I chose these guys. They are called Northern Beaches Jaguar Land Rover. The gentleman I am dealing with is Jamie Barry. He told me to keep the fpace until my car arrives and do a handover. This car has done only 3800 kms! Jamie keep on surprising me (in a good way). 8 hours ago, Aus-Ipace said: Anyone with a Range Rover on order spot their spec in this? Very good find mate!

The dealership is Berwick Jaguar / Land Rover in Victoria and they have actually been pretty good as obviously there isn't much they can do in the circumstance. I requested a loan vehicle on the 24th November, prior to the stink bug fiasco, assuming that I would have a loan car for a few weeks based on the expected delivery date. They mentioned $300 a week for the car to cover their costs. The XF sedan only had 2400kms on the clock but has closer to 6000kms now! I haven't actually spoken to them yet about reducing the loan car costs so I don't actually know if they will entertain it or not, or if they will just pass on the costs to JLR? I know it isn't really anyones fault here, but a little compensation for the extra 6 weeks it is likely to be would be a nice gesture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the car that they gave me today: https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2017-Jaguar-F-PACE-30d-Portfolio-Auto-AWD-MY17/OAG-AD-16470231?pageSource=details&id=OAG-AD-16470231 I am not suggesting that we should take advantage of this situation. But, in my situation, I asked my dealer, if I get a good deal, should I sell my current car. He told me, sell it and he would give me a loan car. I know that car dealerships are notorious for making money as I looked into opening a dealership once. Asking them to look after you as you may not have a car, and if they do, shows their goodwill.

Well it's JLR's fault for not doing their supplier due diligence, and WW's for having weak controls in place. I'll be pushing for extended warranty, which in the scheme of things is peanuts for JLR. First attempt was summarily dismissed, but that was before further delays. 3 year warranty is a joke...you can buy a $13k Kia and get 7 years!

Aus-Ipace Posted 12January, 2019 Report Share Posted 12January, 2019 Yeah, 3 year warranty is pretty poor these days. I do get 5 year warranty and free servicing with the Jaguar I-Pace already so not much use for me, but I'll see what else can be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus-Ipace Posted 12January, 2019 Report Share Posted 12January, 2019 All articles seem pretty confident that the ship will set sail tomorrow (13th). Seems like the recent 4 day delay was due to rain in Indonesia - in the rainy season, how about that! https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=id&u=https://pinang.batampos.co.id/2019/01/12/polisi-dan-pemkab-hitung-bareng-jumlah-kendaraan-mewah/&prev=search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall I am very pleased with the service - it really is out of their control. I am borrowing a Discovery for the weekend as I really needed a car for Monday. I sold my current car in December, so we have been surviving with one car for the holidays which has been ok. I don't want to pay $300 a week though, so will have to make do!

I really think JLR should provide the dealers with cars to lend to their customers. They can claim the cost from their shipping insurer who will no doubt already be compensating them in some way. My neighbour has a Porsche on the same boat and sold his car in December. The Porsche dealer has offered nothing by way of loaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 12January, 2019 Report Share Posted 12January, 2019 Very sorry for you guys who are going through all this, as it really must be doing your heads in. @Aus-Ipace I have no idea how a company has the audacity to charge you $300/week to rent a car. You would think such a large company would absorb that cost when you have obviously spent a lot of money with them buying their product. I understand what has happened with the shipping is out of their hands, yet from a customer relations side, that's pretty poor form to expect you to pay for a rental car in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter anymore how long the manufacturer's warranty is. Since 2011, these are regulated by ACL. For most cars, any problems will be fixed for free for about 8 years or more as long as you mention the magic word "ACL". This also applies to other products.
