Don't. 2019s are subject to a buyback by JLR. Just look around this forum. In fact I find it completely irresponsible for a dealer to want to sell 2019s at this point.

 

"Irresponsible" maybe, but legal and good business sense if a naive customer is willing to buy a product at a premium without researching their potential buy ahead of time.

We can invoke responsibility, morality and legal protections, but at some point the consumer has to take control of the situation and be aware of what's going on in the world.

 

@sciencegeek would this be true even of cars with full battery pack replacement from previous recalls?

 

You need to check if it is one of the few 2019s affected by the H484 recall and has had a new battery pack, in which case it is not subject to buy-back (H514)

 

Make sure it charges to over 250 miles (climate off). Hopefully price is under $20,000. $10,000 might be closer to real value unless there is something special such as a new HV battery installed this year.

 

Illegal for dealers to sell if subject to an open recall. You can confirm by looking up the VIN number. If the recall is closed it ought to be because they replaced the entire battery pack, in which case it could still be a great car, but I’d want to confirm (and get an extended warranty).

 

There is also the issue of the wiring harness behind the front motor. If this hasn't been replaced, realize it could get very expensive($7000 to &10,000 ). Same goes for the air conditioning pipe replacement due to a weld on the thin pipe. The whole front of the car needs to be removed to fix these issues.
