Europe seems like an interesting country indeed. In many countries on the continent we call Europe, it works differently. I'm in a european country, and next-door to my office is a Porsche dealership where new cars roll out daily, filled with young men satisfied they used their whole bonus.

Why do you think that they didnt order it a few weeks/months ago?

Not the GP, but I can confirm the way GGP describes is not the case in all european countries.

Here dealers have inventory and sell from it. I know because we've had issues where people buy "new" cars that are in fact the previous years model that's been sitting in a warehouse for a while. This then causes confusion as they're first registered when they're sold, and the owner doesn't realise he has the older model.

Chances are they ordered those cars several weeks/months before.

khgvljhkb was, of course, being sarcastic to make their point.
