Defo going to have to be less specific on spec if there's one thing you want above all else, be it B&O or the colour.

RS7 with B&O

This doesn't shock me - I've had 5 or 6 as long term loan cars in the last 18 months, all very low mileage - seems to be a lot of pre-reg about. A few months ago you could get a 6 month old 4.2tdi for <£40 retail, must have been a glut as they seem to have improved in "value" now!?

Edited to ask - any with B&O or in the right colour?

I'm 99% sure there won't be any pre-reg D4s with B&O

Agreed - unless you are very friendly with the dealer who may not have one fully specified

Pre-reg cars, are by nature, already built, you can't change the spec on a car built delivered and registered

Yes - but why are the pre-reg? Because the dealer thinks "I want a few D4s on the forecourt, or because they have to order to hit a quota. My point is that tomorrow's pre-reg are not yet built, the dealers spec them when they have to

The dealer we bought our Volvo from was happy to order a car to our exact spec and then run it as a demonstrator (and his home to work transport) for 3 months then sell it to us at about 25% off list.

As it happened the previous one in that cycle was specced by him and was close enough to our requirements that we just took it.
