I have negotiated to purchase a brand new Accord v6 L. I have been called to say that my new car will be ready to pick up on Monday 29/6. I don't think the dealer has managed the negotiation process very well but have been told that mine will be a 09 model.

Does this mean that it will have a 09 compliance plate but still be 08 build or should I expect (and insist) that it be a 09 build ? I went to the dealer based on a large add in the paper with a special offer on 08 Accord's but was told there were none left in my preferred colour (black with ivory interior). I want to be ready if the dealer tries to pass of a 08 build as a 09 model simply because the compliance plate was stuck to the car this year.

Thanks for any replies.
