Should i consider getting it?
Its the same 3.0d motor, it has led lights like mine, it has adaptive dynamics, actually i am going to post a picture of the spec.

Their only difference are the bumpers basically? And the S badge ofc?

If I had wanted and ordered an S and ended up getting an R-Sport I think I'd be continually thinking 'but what if' and doubting my decision

 

[Pos.k]

Is there a cost advantage for you or are you just digging the dealer out of a hole?
Presume you're not in the UK - where there is a significant cost difference between the 2 - and also/because the R -sport is not 3.0

Well the "S" has a delivery date of november whereas the "R" has like tomorrow.

Yes the R is like 17k euro less, no i am not in the uk, i am just trying to figure out what i will be missing because since the start i was only looking the S

 

[Pos.k]

As you've ordered the other car do you have the spec sheet?
list them out and check what you're missing from that.
Its difficult for us to say as the spec for the S may well be different in Belgium

I downloaded both stock specs and individual stock specs, and the only thing i am missing is the black pack and the adaptive cruise control, and since the black pack is retrofit, i can live without the adaptive cruise control, so the car is pretty much identical.

 

[jinjin]

Identical apart from the 3.0 being a beast compared to the 2.0. It sounds like that doesn't bother you so I'd stick with saving €17k

He's in Belgium so can get a 3.0d R sport
so its still a beast - but maybe a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing...

Seems like a very good value alternative to me . . and available right now . . . I'd definitely be tempted.

Makes me wonder why customers in Belgium can have a 3 litre R-Sport option, but not us here in the UK tho' :?

17k less and available now? Sign me up!

I would have chosen a 3.0 R-Sport (specced up a bit) if it was available here. I like the Jet/Oyster trim the most.

Go for it

I am not in belgium guys, i am based in greece and i am buying it from bulgaria.

Its a 3.0d not a 2.0d i wouldnt even think a 2.0d.

Well its nicely specced the only thing i liked more on the S is that the interior is leather and alcantara but the R is all leather with climated seats so i guess its ok.
I already told the dealer to prep it, he just told me they need to see if they can cancel my old order and hook me up with the car in stock.

 

[JLRnumber5]

Can someone please explain to me how the Bulgarians get a better choice of models than us Brits???

 

[Pos.k]

thats as well as the BELGIANS
LOL!!

 

[Mbadger77]

If that's the only difference I think you're crazy to say no. 3 months early and 17K euros saved !!!
That's crazy amount . Any differences to the seats, interior etc - must be more than that to justify the 17k otherwise looks a great deal

 

[sedde]

Well i went through with it, i am trying to make them retrofit a black pack and paint the rims black and then i am good to go.
This is the car:

 

[catwoman]

Looks pretty great just as it is!

What a bargain! . . . enjoy your new ride

 

[JLRnumber5]

A great result. I would have done the same

 

[Mbadger77]

Climate seats as well - fantastic. And 17K saved.
You can buy whatever wheels you want with that saving and sell the originals

Happy days good work
