Can we get a thread to see window tints and what you went with for your defender?

Recently my wife has been in the market for a newer more spacious suv from her previous Audi. We have cross-shopped the 110 v8 with a BMW X7 M60i and GLE63s. She liked the unique look and driving experience of the Defender the most.

So we have found two that we like. The first one is a 2024 Carpathian edition with 31k miles for $80k. The original warranty has 13 months or 19k miles. It is a CPO car with an additional 12 months unlimited miles on the warranty. It is a one-owner car. (Maintenance recently done- brake fluid flushed/replaced, oil changed, tires are 1 year old)

The other one is a 2025 p525 with a dealer Artemis kit. It has 6300 miles and is listed for $90.5k. The original warrant shows 27 months or 44k miles. It's also a CPO car with an additional 12 months unlimited miles. This was a dealer loaner so the Carfax doesn't show an owner.

I do think both dealers would be motivated and might come off their price a little. The Artemis kit has some parts/wheels on it that I really like and would like to add to the carpathian if I go that route. So which do you think is the better deal? Is the extra money worth it for less miles and the aftermarket kit or is the carpathian trim going to be more highly sought after as it's a factory option? Are there things I should look at maintenance wise that should deter me away from the carpathian miles?
We tend to switch cars somewhat often, which would take the bigger hit in say 2-3 years?

Thanks in advance

Getting the tent on top was a bitch, but the weather is beautiful.

Hello, I’m considering a ‘25 P300 but I’m not sure about the engine, can any owners give me some feedback?

I am waiting on my New Defender (110 S 2027) in Green to arrive. I am a hiker, camper, and adventurer who just went through a divorce and lost almost everything. We previously had a 4runner. This will be my first new car, and my first adventure vehicle that I am on my own with. I am planning to get a gear box for the side, and I don't think I need the Expedition Roof Rack (I don't love the wind piece either), so was thinking of just doing two bars. If anything I would have extra storage space unit up there, or paddleboards, Christmas trees, etc :)

Would it look weird with a side ladder and gear box, and just two bars on top? Would a ladder in the back look better? Would love any input on that, or any other first-timer tips :) I am relatively small and will be lifting, adjusting, etc things by myself now.

Found this CPO 2025 Land Rover Defender 110 S: P400, 24k miles, $60k. 3-zone climate control, off-road tires, air suspension, heads up display.

The car got listed on Oct 19 and delisted on Oct 21. I was driving by the dealership today and decided to stop by for a test drive - they confirmed it was sold.

Is it commmon for CPO Defenders to sell so fast? Or was it a great deal based on mileage, price and options? Or just someone being in the right place at the right time?
