    If it's a reputable dealer then cancel your order and they should return your deposit. Then place an order on a new one.

Need to speak to the garage to see if they can order me a new model to same timescale and for same price, although am guessing unlikely...

      Has anyone else been in this situation before ?
      There is a chance that you might actually be getting the facelifted model anyway?

        If there are any facelifts going can MF have one as well, his chins are chaffing.

          If the facelift model has been released and is showing up in the garages then you will get the facelift model (no car manufacturer runs old and new facelift models down the line at the same time).

          A more important question is whether the options you want are still available in the way you ordered them. Seat and VW both managed to screw up some case last year when front parking sensors moved from a self select item to part of a package only. Get you dealer to check whether what you ordered is still a valid combination
          merely at clientco for the entertainment

            I prefer to get a car several years old so it is cheap and hardly depreciates.

            Though getting a used Veyron is tough....

              Wasn't your butler selling one recently?

                No, he ordered a Bently, hence him getting a VW.

                  The only time he's been in a Bentley he ended up on an attempt to pervert the course of justice charge.

                    If he has another facelift he will have 2 noses.

                      Getting a used Bugatti Veyron for a good price may be tough, but perhaps you should consider something more reasonable like a Honda Veyron....
