The problem is not in the waiting but when circumstances change with regards to your disability and yes “were not children” but we are disabled.
In my case it was not so much my disability changing being the disabled one, but my wife’s simply getting older and no longer abled to lift my scooter, even in parts, into the car.
I ordered a car and was told it would be 5 months so I consult my carer wife and she agrees its a long time but it summer and ageing aches and pains are not so bad so we decide to wait the 5 months.
After 3 to 4 months go by rumours are riff here and on other forums that there is delays to production due to WLTP so after asking the dealer if there’s any truth in that and eventually I get told its going to be another 4 months on top of the 5 so 9 months all told.
Now were into late October and the days are getting colder and the aches and pains are starting to show for a new season so drastic action had to be taken and I cancelled and ordered something of the shelf so now I’ve got a car that’s capable and I can live with for another 3 years but its not the car I wanted as it has no electronic hand brake but should my next car be delayed I can get by because the wife does not have to lift my scooter into the car any more, unless something changes by then, who knows.
Honesty is the best policy when it comes to the disabled because we can judge for ourselves if the wait is worth it as it’s not our brains that are disabled and I did not blame the dealer entirely because the manufacturer was mostly to blame but did the manufacturer tell the dealer is the one million dollar question.
