Lead Times

Surprised you didn't wait for a Sep 71 plate, only 12 days away !

I could have had mine earlier but decided to wait till Sep and not the first week as that could be busy.

It's all very exciting to get the new plate, but only for a short while then who cares?.

Back in '95 I bought a Skoda Felicia. At that time the new reg was on 1st August. The dealer opened at midnight so you could collect your car. It was only half mile from home so I thought why not. They had refreshments and a bit of celebration. I think the new reg was more of a thing then. It doesn't seem to matter as much now.

You're right.

I only changed now because of the high p/x and the Honda 5 year multi deal. Being so close to the reg change I just thought, why not

My current Civic was a March 1st , again, on a good deal.

However, that meant that servicing had to be done in Feb and the number of times I've driven on ice and snow to the dealers so I decided this time that Sep with a Aug service is better.
