I think I should stop watching videos as it's giving me a small bit of regret that I didn't go for a TCR...

Yeh I've had a TCR on order since 19/12/2019 and it still hasn't even been built from what I've found out.

Even if the German factories were still running there is no guarantee that the parts logistics would still be making it through.

at least I'm not paying for it to be just sat on the driveway...

Rimp has someone said to you it hasn't been built? We were both build week 12 for ours.

I don't know is the truth.  I have found no evidence of it reaching the build stage, only that a build week was confirmed. with the dealerships closed its even harder to find anything out.

Worst case scenario, if yours don't get built there is going to be some proper 2nd hand bargains about when this has all finished... See there is one already at £26,500 with lots at £27/28k. Heading sub £25k in a few months.

maybe true but the finance rates will be high and I can't find one in colour and spec that I want. Both myself and rimp have got 0% deals and the specs we want.

Yes, guess you won't get 0% but you might be able to save a decent chunk to offset it. Think used prices could we well be set for a massive tumble as per 2008.

Yes but if I can't find one with the spec I want I'm not just buying one for the sake of it. 👍

No I'm sure you won't, was merely pointing out there might be some bargains if yours doesn't make it out the factory.

Same for me 0% and the exact spec I want I'm not a fan of settling for something which isn't exactly what I want for the next 3/4 years.
