On a positive note - if the R gets here quicker you get a bigger refund on your car tax
As above, run it through WBAC and others plus get a proper (honest) trade valuation once you get a confirmed build week.
CAP will generally be what the dealer will use to get their in house valuation and assuming average mileage your car will drop £250 a month going on dealer part ex offers (give or take).
With trade values you'll generally see them drop off over the winter and if you run a valuation again in March or April you'll see that the car value often goes right back up again. Winter is not a good time for the used car market.
I can run a CAP valuation for you if you wish (just PM me the reg) or google it and you can often find links to get a free online CAP valuation.
Depending on how the dealer has the deal worked you might find that WBAC would give you a better price and you can return with the cash to buy the R, or they might have the deal written in allowing that fixed value on the car to trigger the discount they offered you. So speaking to the dealer to discuss options as soon as you have a valuation up your sleeve will be your best bet. Put the ball in their court.
Take into consideration anything like tyres that you might have had to replace between the two likely delivery dates and any services due.
The dealership probably know you'll be back to order an R400 by March anyway!!!
