normally its about 3-4 months from order to build and it is a MY08 not 8.5

I think my 08 car was an August 07 build and it landed at the Stealer in Oct 07.

What is the difference between 08 and 08.5?

Not a lot i think, the dealer stated some changes on the bluetooth etc, not sure the exact details, in the UK they get a TDv8 badge on them, not sure about down here though.

My main concern is that it must be over 4 months old as the last of the MY08's should have hit our shores about December, and it as 489 KM's on the clock and the dealer cannot provide an explanation, apart that he knows it came from another dealership

Thanks
