So after a lot of trawling through the ads, I found a long beach blue Manual M2, with upgraded Stereo, and under 3000 miles, and was over the moon..This morning, Coopers called me and advised that he can get me a new vehicle for the last week in May. What should I do? Do I take delivery and try to off load it, take delivery and sell the one I've bought, or try to sell my build slot?

I really appreciate what the dealer has done for me, but timings are terrible!!

Is the used car significantly cheaper than new? Do you care about having to wait?

If the price isn't outrageous I'd probably take the used one, at 3k miles it's barely run in, sounds like a good spec, and you can have it now.

I've already went for the used.....Was pretty much new price, and am chuffed to bits, What I dont know is whether theres still a few bob to be made by taking the new build slot car and selling it straight off as soon as I get it

Nah keep the one you have and forget about it.

As delivery frees' up (like the Focus RS did) there will be a glut of people trying to sell them for overs and getting nowhere.

Not worth the hassle for a potential couple of bags

I would gladly bet there is no market for 'overs' in the M2 market. Loads for sale and have been hanging around for a while on AT.

I'm think I'm going to ask to resume my place in the queue for next January and keep an eye out for the LCI updates, and CSL updates. I can decide in 6 months what I want to do

There is an M2 being punted about right now for 42k.

There is one hundred percent no chance of any private owners getting above list on these cars !
