    What about looking for a pre-reg.  My car was list price £30,875, cheapest new from the likes of CarWow was £25K.  I paid £20,343, registered 30 Nov and purchased by me 16 Dec. When I viewed it in the dealers it had plates on but was still in all the factory plastic wrap and stickers.
    Who did you buy it through? I might have to buy a ‘new’ car soon
    I got it from Arnold - I know but it has a manufacturer warranty !!  They just seem to have good stocks of pre reg at a good price, they sold about 60 of the same model pre reg over a month so over £1M sales. My local national dealer group where I bought my last pre reg had 0 in stock, they had one in later - exact same spec and colour for £2.3K more than I paid. Many advertise on Auto Trader.
