Derwent 2,591 Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 2 hours ago, Damien said: I find this interesting because I thought there had been a huge decline in new car sales due to the pandemic with furlough and working from home. I know over the last year I've been contacted fairly regularly from a couple of dealers, who I have bought from before, trying to sell me new cars as they have a lot to shift. They have stock of pre-built ones but they may not be the right colour, trim or have the optional extras you want. If you want to spec your own then it’s a factory build order and they are experiencing huge delays. Even on cars as uniquitous as a Toyota Yaris - my wife recently ordered a new hybrid Yaris and the delivery estimate is end of September.

Mine is the 3.2litre diesel, it's remarkably civilised inside and gives me better mileage than my brother's 2.5 TDi Disco used to give him. Also, it's surprising how popular you become when something big needs shifting or dragging. Link to post Share on other sites
