A weekday. Saturdays are selling days. Your salesman will proberly rush through the handover as quickly as he can. Also if there are any issues with the cleaning or the mechanicals of the car, valeters and techs will be away home early and unable to sort the problems while you are there.

Its probably better to pick your car up when the salesman isn't busy. So I would make the effort to go during the week, possibly in the morning. You want to make sure evrything is alright and that all the controls are explained to you. If the salesman can see prospective punters wandering about the showroom while he is doing your handover, then he won't be concentrating on you.

That's quite novel having a car on the 29th... still you'll be saving yourself hundreds when it comes to resale time if you waited for the 1st March.Oh and mate, get it serviced every year

I was waiting to see who would fall for it. I am getting an 08 plate, and picking it up on trade plates on Friday night.
Panic not!!

Still having a car registered on the 29th is quite novel The thing is some people do register and pick up their cars just days before the 08 plate is issued. It's crazy!Hmm I wonder if I could pick mine up on Friday... might save Scrogg some hassle picking it up on Saturday...

I got mine a few days before 57... Didn't worry about the numberplate being 07 or 57. I bought it to be a car - I'd buy oil if I wanted an investment!
I don't buy cars to be an investment, I just think waiting the extra couple of days will save you a couple of hundred when it comes to resale. Even if it's just £100, I'd prefer to wait and get the new plate rather than get the 'old' plate and have the car a couple of days sooner.
It's being delivered to your house on Trade Plates on Friday afternoonHmm I wonder if I could pick mine up on Friday... might save Scrogg some hassle picking it up on Saturday...
so make sure the drive's empty and don't be tempted to drive it before midnight!
