Question on Wheel Cover

So I just got a Defender but it didn’t come with the wheel cover. Since it’s in Carpathian Gray, unfortunately I can’t just get it from LR’s parts site (they only offer black and the silver grey), and my rep from the dealer said it would cost like $1k for a wheel cover in the color. So I’ve been looking on ebay to save some costs, anyone have experience with some wheel covers on there? One I’m looking at is around 400 or 450 after shipping and import.

Took the plunge

I’ve been looking for a defender for a while now, and suddenly one popped up on my radar for an amazing price and mileage, I had to jump on it. And it’s been amazing so far, all the features I would want it had, the drive is great and there’s cool things I’m still learning about it. Thanks guys for helping me with my questions on the sub, it was very informative and helped me make the best purchase!

A Follow-Up Question about Purchasing

So, two days ago on here I asked about what everyone’s thoughts were on a ‘23 X Dynamic SE a little over 10k miles I found at a secondary dealership. I went and test drove another model, a 2025 P400 S, just under 11k miles at a JLR dealership. The dealer had two, but the one Im looking at has a 3L V6 or I6, and it’s the same price as the one I was looking at before (the ‘23). My predicament is that the ‘23 has extra packages related to offroading, towing, etc, whereas the ‘25 is just stock. But talking to a rep at the dealer, they mentioned that the package doesn’t necessarily matter, that a stock P400 is still capable of offroading as the ‘23, obv just doesn’t have as many features without that package.

Does anyone have a similar car and has used it offroading? I’m not an avid offroader, but obv that might change in the future, just wondering if it’s worth the hassle of getting the ‘23. My biggest thing is having an extra couple of years of warranty on the 25, whereas the 23’s is about to expire apparently. So yeah, just trying to figure out what’s worth pursuing.

Question on Ownership

Hey y’all, I was looking into possibly purchasing a 2023 LR Defender 110 X Dynamic SE preowned. Its only got 15k miles on it and test drove it at the dealership with no issues I could see. I just wanted to get everyone’s opinions on the vehicle specifically in terms of like issues, concerns and things to watch out for in the purchasing process. Also, was wondering for US people, what’s like the average insurance and maintenance costs per year everyone sees?

Main goal of this is to have a decent luxury vehicle that feels nice to drive and also has 4WD capabilities. Watching some vids online, the 4WD layout and HUD looks really nice with this.
