    That’s new cars. Can’t say I’ve ever had an exact date from a dealer. Most likely that the change in spec meant they had to cancel and re-order.

    This sounds plausible. I believe there's usually a 2 week period before the order is "firmed" by the factory precisely to allow for change of spec/mind etc but it sounds like rather than change the original order the salesman may have found it easier to bin it and start a new one.

    Call me a cynic, but I wonder if the original order is still in the system, and heading for stock or demo...

    It was under the two weeks - nine days.
