I think I'll get an e-bike instead!

February 2022 is a fairly usual timescale for a vehicle order placed in October 2021. Unless it was in stock it wouldn't have been much quicker in normal times.
The car we have ordered has the same timescale of Feb 2022.
Very few manufacturers will deliver a factory order within 6 weeks so no idea where you've got that idea from. Like I say, in stock cars are obviously different as they already exist.
When did you last order a new car to get a factory build delivered in just over a month?!
Expected and actually delivered by then are two different things,. The car I ordered at the beginning of May had a delivery date of 15th November and it definitely wont be that now. The manufacturer is unsure themselves but looking likely to be at least 2022 now.
This thread had much more potential last night when it was about buying a brand new Dacia Sandero
I'm indecisive!
Still think for a new car the Sandero is ideal for someone like me that just wants an A-B car that isn't interested in hooning, I'm too old for that ****!
I'm not really talking about factory builds

although in the current marketplace, it's not quite as straightforward as it used to be.
I'm fully expecting it to be later than Feb, a friend has ordered an Enyaq IV, originally 15 weeks and the next day went up to 25 weeks!
May to 2022 is a staggering wait.
We would like ours before July/August for a camping trip, gone for a Dacia Duster as it's larger than the Citigo, or my wife's KA. In the mean time I can get them tidied and one sold.
The bi fuel option seems appealing with recent events.
As per your original post, or at least what I recall from reading it last night, when you're just looking for A-B the consideration of new vs used is something hard to ignore, although in the current marketplace, it's not quite as straightforward as it used to be.
I'd personally consider some of the brands offering long warranties from new like Kia, where you could pick up a 2 or 3 year old car and still have 4 or 5 years of warranty left on it. The problem with that now is whether a 2 or 3 year old one is actually good value or if they're nearly as expensive as new anyway.
