Title says it really, ordered a new car, salesman said delivery would be nov-dec, I accepted this. Now seems it will be end of January, hmm, should I postpone it till the new plates are out in March and if so how should I put it to dealer?

Thanks

    You do realise that it will cost an additional 2.5% in VAT?

    Just tell them that is what you want to do.;)

    Yes 4th January, which you would have avoided if the car had arrived in Nov/Dec of this year.

    Sorry my post wasn't too clear.:o

    Interstingly, its a skoda and they are doing a vat free deal, and honour it if the car is ordered before end of october, if it comes after increase.

    Why not ask them you wont get a definitive answer here because it may depends on the garage.
