That is excellent Bear. Although why is my dealer not on the chart?!
Firstly, I started using my own order number which was last week of April, so I'm assuming these are May orders. My assumption may be wrong, perhaps dealers are assigned number blocks and use them later on.
Secondly, the script I use is not perfect. Sometimes it "fails" which I think is basically a time out on the website, like if you put your number in manually and it sits on "loading" forever. So around 8% of the numbers I tried got missed like this. This is compounded by the fact that I can only run 100 numbers at once so after a few errors the late 90s on that list of 100 don't get a look in. I don't mind much because I'm interested in averages mainly.
Thirdly, I've only run around 1000 numbers. I've no idea how many go in per month, but I'm getting a response rate of around 10%. That means for every 10 numbers tried 1 of them returns an actual order in progress. So we're looking at around 100 data points here.
So, I wouldn't be worried if your dealer is missing. If I spent the 50 smackers I could improve this a lot and probably just run it overnight grabbing tens of thousands of order numbers... but there are two drawbacks. 1) They might block me if I'm hogging 99% of the traffic to their site (but I doubt they would notice if I take some basic precautions) and 2) It costs me 50 quids.
