But you can find a blue one, for £17,999, an SZ5, here:
www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2...esearchad=New&page=1
... except that if you read half way through the advert it says THIS CAR IS NOT FOR SALE, although you can drive away an Ignis instead.
Personally I find this just as bandwagon jumping as the £26k advert. At least with that you know it's someone trying it on.
I'd also struggle to buy any car with an indicated fuel economy of 10.5mpg!!!

An advert like this led me to a dealer with no orders so it worked for me. I assume it’s being used to bring people into the showrooms.

When Range Rovers first came out there was a 1 year waiting list. My Grandfather had a new one every year, ordering the next one a year ahead. He was able to sell the 1 year old cars for the retail price to people wanting to avoid the 1 year wait. I think he did that for 7 or 8 years, driving a new Range Rover every year and losing hardly a penny on depreciation.

SZ4 2017 model with 7k miles for £16k. Trickle down residual re-uptake?
(Or dealer chancing an arm?)

Two Suzuki dealers have said to me that residuals for the last Gen 3 models (and demand for them) is high.

But now, especially after reading Lambert's assessment of the new car, I feel worried. Suzuki could have done something to meet demand - it must have been obvious as soon as the first focus group looked at it that the world was going to go bananas over the new car and discussion groups everywhere would be full of comments like "I don't really know what it is, I'd never look at it normally, but I really really want one".
And then discover it isn't a Range Rover or a Ferrari or any kind of car that normally produces this kind of hype.
Ah well, onwards and upwards.
A silver SZ5 auto for £23,995:
A white SZ4 manual for £18,989:
Interesting that Tom's most expensive one has gone while these cheapies hang around.
