I used to be able to order in jan Q1 and every car i had on the scheme had risen in price from Q4 but i could not place the order till Q1. But look sometimes there winners and losers and it can be just down to timing as well.
Like with a new model coming out i have noticed on a few, i was looking at and with no second hand sales of them, the markets not in the know and those that set the 2nd hand residual prices work on a 3 month basis so then those cars can rise in ap.
As for shoes and feet size autos only have 2 pedals and i do find them better for larger feet and as for low cars my last 2 have been low and i must say i prefer the driving experience.
No cars easy for me to get into. but it’s once you in that matter most and that it’s practical for all your needs and in that dept we all may differ. So it really is important to get a test drive and at least sit in the model you will be getting as a test drive is not always available in all specs / trim levels.
