@kezo ? probably a bit extreme.
It was the Sales Manager who eventually insisted it had to be a February car, our sales guy the Motability specialist sounded as if he was batting for us.
Motability chat have backed up the dealer’s view
“Expect you to collect the car at your earliest convenience”
“We would not delay delivery just for a new 24 plate ”
“Insurance will transfer over on the day the dealer says the car is ready”
“Delayed collection can only be agreed for exceptional circumstances ”
I pointed out that our last two Motability cars arrived in February but had a March plate, but she didn’t respond to this.
So we have a collection date of Monday 26th and are looking forward to it.
We had a choice of 12 x 73 number plates to choose from, just to add salt to the wound!
