    what is a stock car, would it be 1 thats been a display 1 or something else

    All around Europe there are car parks full of cars waiting for delivery, they are built to a spec that most buyers take. If you buy from the right dealer you'll be offered one of these, if you "build your own car" you'll have to wait for it to be made.

    We just bought a 10 plate Mazda2, the dealer has a few lined up around it waiting for buyers, it's sister dealership has the same with Kas and Fiestas. Some of these cars are the 2009 model that haven't sold, some are the 2010 model, it really becomes buyer beware as you'll lose out on certain features ESP & Bluetooth as standard irc on the Fiesta

    It is a car that has already been built but is in a storage facility, it has not been on display or an ex-demo and will have delivery only milage and you will be the first registered owner.

    My car was from stock and I had it within 5 days of actually purchasing the car, this was ideal for me as my previous car had a number of issues with it and needed getting rid of quickly. Mine had 14 miles on the clock when I collected it.

    yes i understand now, they're cars that are mass produced rather than ones that are custom built by customers
