2014 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 HSE Auto Scotia Grey

LR Czech Republic

I heard rumours that AMT - the czech importer and monopolist - has existential problems. I have heard that they do not deliver spare parts or new cars anymore to their dealers. my dealer travels to germany for spares and tells new customers that they could order a car but that the chances of delivery are low.
can somebody confirm? or does anybody know more? Some people get by

Discovery fell to the last place.

Second number: sales 1-4/2009
Third number: % 4/2009
Fourth number: % 1-4/2009

The AMT showrooms near 'Cerny Most ' seem to be closing/closed, the Jaguar part has been emptied; however the LR side still has flags flying and items and staff in the showroom.

2 weeks ago we saw them remove the outside signs from the Jaguar side of the building so something is definitely happening with them, although LR outlet in Brno were try for sales
They were very happy to reply to my emails regarding a test drive; even said they would open on Saturday just for me as they dont work weekends and I cant get down there unless it's Fri-Sun due to work commitments...... Experience is a difficult teacher, because she gives the test first and then the lesson afterwards!!!!

It seems final now. The Land-rover international site readresses you to the international site when choosing a local site for the czech rep.

Moreover, in the dealer locator, the czech republic has vanished in the country list...
No importer and no dealers...

Popelka, I hope you did not order and paid an advance.... Some people get by

No as I have a company car 4x4 . but I cant see that just because AMT are struggling Czech's wont be able to purchase LR nor get the serviced I have seen several outlets that are not AMT . Experience is a difficult teacher, because she gives the test first and then the lesson afterwards!!!!

Trouble is, at least for us, based in Prague, that the nearest dealer is in Liberec or Jihlava. As my next service is approaching very quickly, I am seriously thiking of taking my D3 to a dealer in Germany. At least I will have the opportunity to compare. D3 LE James Cook, 2,7 TDV6 auto

The below text is taken from this forum: http://landroverforum.klape.cz/forum/viewt...p;start=60 so no idea how true it is:

"Kupodivu musÃme s větÅ¡inou věcÃ přispÃvatele souhlasit, aÅ¾ na jednu malou â€ždrobnostâ€œ. CelÃ© jednÃ¡nÃ bylo vedeno v angličtině a proto se domnÃvÃ¡me Å¾e přispÃvatel ne vÅ¡emu sprÃ¡vně rozuměl.Na jednoznačnÃ½ dotaz, zda v tuto chvÃli existuje autorizovanÃ½ dealer v ČR odpověděl předsedajÃcÃ (regionÃ¡lnÃ manager pro JAGUAR a LAND ROVER z Anglie) jednoznačně NE ! V tuto chvÃli nemÃ¡ Å¾Ã¡dnÃ½ dealer platnou smlouvu s vÃ½robcem. NÃ¡vrhy smluv budou předÃ¡ny a konzultovÃ¡ny se vÅ¡emi v průběhu 4 â€“ 6 tÃ½dnů, tak jak sprÃ¡vně uvÃ¡dÃ přispÃvatel."

So If you have a car within guarantee, you now need to go to Germany, Austria, Poland or elsewhere to have a guarantee problem repaired or to have an authorized service done. Especially since czechs have the bad habit to welcome AND use all (even formal matters) to say that the guarantee is wasted. Some people get by

Liberec is/was also my dealer, even when I am from Nachod. Vrchlabi nor Prague couldn't offer me a good service. Liberec was the only one that stood up.

But Liberec doen't exist anymore. Dorda movedto ceska lipa, further away from prague and me. Some people get by

Dobri!
how it is now? I can't believe, it is so rare to have sold a landy.
We have in Poland at this moment a surreal situation, you can't find a disco in a good condition, low mileage... everything sold out!

den dobre Macgro,

The impoter for the czech republic is now the austrian importer. Spare parts are assured. Maybe they might even expand the czech dealer network.... New cars: don't know.

Macgro, are you a dealer selling LR, a second hand trader or are you searching for a disco privately?
If Poland is sold out on second hand, there are some here, and surely even more in Germany and other western countries where cars are changed as often as shoes...

In a local ad-paper i saw by coincidence a 2008 disco, 79000km advertised at 536000czk +vat.
http://www.tuning-e35.cz/index.php?page=oj...&id=23 +420 606 602 902
Otherwise, try www.tipcars.cz I am sure you can handle the czech language. Some people get by

Deki!
Well just git mine yesterday (and sinked it today). thanks!

I am private so no sales, trade offs or else, just enjoying life. Prices for 2nd hand discos are atrocious here. 15-20% more than in Germany for a good used one but to import it and registering it costs you a fortune in terms of money and time. Especially v8...

Cheers! macgro
