My dilemma - What would you do?

Week 20 of a 26 week plate life, I'd take it!

Surely no one, as it would be like setting fire to a big pile of your money.

The only reason to take a car so close to a plate change would be if you were funding it on a Contract Hire or doing PCP with a view to just handing back and it's residual isn't your problem. If one day your going to resell the car being patient will pay you back.

Maybe I'm getting old as I just couldn't get that excited waiting on a car any more, or maybe I'm just tight, as it looks like my opinion is in the minority here!

Revival to note i will be taking my 335d if ready start of January.

Currently at sea so looking likely.

If it's available in the first two weeks of Jan take it straight away. Any later and I'd wait for a 14 plate. That's my plan anyway
