My dealer has offered me a fully spec'able delivery slot for end October, as long as I sign up ASAP. Is this a good time, or does anyone reckon that I could get an early 56-plate September car from a Dealer somewhere?

(We're talking XK here, not XKR)

I was after a coupe. Considering that there is still a decent waiting list, why does WharCar magazine have a "Target Price" of only £54,300, some 5grand off the list? Are there that good a deal to be had already?

I called the whatcar target price team, and they've revised the target price to the list price.

You will probably find that it is a cancelled order, inwhich case the Dealership has probably kept the chaps £5k who cancelled it. I would go in the their and say you'll take the car but will not be getting another deposit!

I've tried. Also got two agents searching and none have come up with anything.

I think that it is also probably a lot to do with these people trading in to get the XKR Conv, rather than simply speculators.

Where the hell's this?! I've been searching for ages for a new model and noone has better than end/October. You reckon they have any 56-plate september cancelations?
