That is no justification still. April is not far.
We didn't pay own and got delivery in 7 months (delay was due to COVID and it was from Suzuki).
If you have the means to buy a Sportage you are not without a car that's for sure. You are not in the category of having to redo the monthly budget if you need to take Uber for a week. Just don't pay own. Don't become a party in badmashi.
Also typical sasta stardom like mere circle/relatives me sab se pehle mere paas Sportage ai hai (I am not pointing at you, saying in general) is not worth a cent. If one get judged in a circle by bragging Sportage and flaunting iphones then one needs to re-evaluate his relations, not try to fix that by paying own money.
Own in our market is like going to a sabzi mandi and buying everything and bringing to your home, and then telling people to pay you extra or wait for the next crop. And you pre-book that next crop too through shady means. This is in my opinion hoarding. Please don't do it.
