Don't think there is any differencs until you go to trade it in, then it will only be an 09 model and worth less, you know how car yards are.

My advice would be not to take delivery. I've just purchased a zetec and delivery is next week. If the build plate isn't 2010 I won't be taking delivery. As a car salesman myself and them having this knowledge I would hope they have done the right thing. But we will find out

Only if you have it in the contract, be it verbal or written? if you have signed for a car by vin number then too bad too sad

When I place a deposit on the wife's Fiesta I insisted on a 2010, the sale person checked on the system and she advised that is was schedule to be completed 31/3/2010. When we picked it up it was an April build and compliance in June. But they still had 09 cars on the lot, they were cheaper.

Surely it is written on the contract? I put a deposit on a white zetec and the salesperson pointed it out to me. Mine is an 04/10 build and 05/10 complied.
