P6, the main reason there’s lots of stock now compared to the last few years is parts availability, meaning the factories are working properly again now. There just weren’t any significant amount of cars coming through before the last quarter of last year. Now it’s parts clearout time. We’ve gone from a 2 year wait time to being unable to order a factory car but lots of physical or in transit cars which hopefully will match a customers spec give or take from the pool of cars available. Two years to two weeks wait time all of a sudden as of Q4 last year and Q1 this year.
The physical cars will sit at dealers until the 8.5 ordering goes live at which point VW historically seem to get dealers to pre-reg any sitting stock.
