Do it. Just choose the model and engine carefully to minimise delivery time. Dealers should know by now which are shipping faster.

Are there any deals or cash discounts out there to be had? I'm looking at the Inscription at the moment. I know that with the xc40 being a new and desirable model, these will probably be a bit limited. Any ideas?

Ordered my inscription through new car discount only ask for a small deposit and were upfront with the 4-5month delivery date . I chose to use them mainly because of the dealers take it of leave it attitude so discount was a bonus . It will also be delivered by trailer to my home address by the supplying dealer .

I tried all the usual websites, I didn't like the way NCD did things, drive the deal and Carwow were virtually nonexistent offers but I got nearly £4000 off of mine through CarFile

Also through Carfile for me when the discounts were higher, although Jonathan has had to reduce the discount due to the demand on the XC40. I've brought a number of cars through him over the years and always received excellent service.

There are no other choices out there. An ancient Evoque, the overpriced very heavy E-Pace that is based on a 10 year old Evoque platform, the Stelvio which is just nasty, the X2 which is pointless as its neither an SUV or a hatchback or the Q3 which is based on the 8P A3 platform (about 15 year old design).

Looked at the lot and bought the XC40 because its in a different league.
