I have a mate who ordered an Everest. Waited 12 months for it but by the time it arrived he had changed his mind. He thought it would suit his families life, being a multi purpose vehicle, but then decided it was too big for day to day duties. Sold it with delivery km only and it went instantly. He didn't cash in.

Not everyone is trying to make a buck.

On a similar note, another guy I know ordered a new kenworth. Same deal, mega long wait time from ordering until delivery. By the time it was due circumstances had changed and I think he sold his business or retired. Kenworth happily offered him his money back but he declined and took delivery. Much like landcruiser, the 2nd hand market is actually higher than new. Sometimes you just have to cash in on what the market is paying.
