Okay, you all win, ive been told that it can take upto 3 weeks for a car to arrive in the UK after being built. So no one in htere right mind would not wait for 1st September.

How does that work in the UK with new reg plates ? Can you explain to me why it would have a higher res value ?

A new registration is released every 6 months, thus when selling the vehicle a newer registration would be more sought after. Isnt it the same in other countries? It is a kinda silly way of doing things really isnt it... either that or a conspirousy by the goverment to stop me getting my car

In Holland one gets a registration on the day the car gets delivered to you, so there are 365 registration dates here

There's a difference between registration date and registration plate. Cars still have a registration date, but the plate only tells you in what 6-month period that date is.

Well the date hasbeen brought forward to .. umm Monday ... but I asked to wait .. they where not keen on that until i reminded them that I was not trading in my old car because im keeping it !!

Don't get that, one sentence he says with it being a new reg every 6 months it doesnt make much difference, next breat they are concerned about loosing value on my used car !!!
