I'm astounded by the patience that some of you have shown. I can't see me ever wanting a car so much that I'd wait 6 months+. When I make a decision about changing my car and find what I want, I want it immediately.
When I decided I wanted out of my Navara and back in to something more comfortable (pre Navara I drove an A6 Allroad) I wanted it to happen sooner rather than later. My local dealer (part of a large group) said they didn't have any D4 Cross Country's in stock but they did have a D5 Cross Country Pro with various bits and bobs. It was coming in at another £80 a month and therefore out of budget.
I contacted various other dealers in Central Scotland and one had a MY19 D4 CC in stock while another had one sitting in Gothenburg waiting on a ferry. I was happy with the stock D4 as it had the Winter Pack I wanted. 8 days later I drove out the dealership (Christmas and New Year prevent me picking it up earlier.)
