Hi guys
So we’re looking at getting a new car...and I’ve been told that the spec/engines we’d want aren’t available for 4/5 months direct from factory
I’ve heard of people buying high end cars getting loaned something to fill the gap, but im not expecting this to be the norm, I assume that is a very very rare occurrence
Especially as we aren’t getting a 120k Porsche or anything!
Anyone had this before?

Never come across this before. It’s a lovely idea. Let me know which dealers are willing to accommodate you. My experience has usually been less than positive in these circumstances. If the dealers have a waiting list they tend to shrug their shoulders and often won’t give you a price on your trade in. Understandable under the circumstances, I suppose since prices do change in five months.

You have to just order the car and wait, sometimes there may be a cancellation or earlier build slot.
I had an octavia VRs 245 on order (mega cheap pch), ordered back in October for March delivery. It was getting nearer the date and the delivery date kept getting pushed back, there was talk of june/july so I cancelled the order.
