Is there a reasonable chance that the vehicle you want will be ready by then? In your shoes I'd try to place the order. Otherwise I'd get something a few years old (2018+). In 24 months it'll be ridiculously messy anyways, and I think a 20k mile difference is negligible these days.

Is something predicted to happen in 24 months, or do you just mean that we don't know and can't reasonably predict it?

I think they're referring to 3 kids making a mess of any car given 24 months.
I'm saying that children are very messy, so no need to worry about a car looking new.

Oh, that makes more sense. I thought that, in "In 24 months it will be ridiculously messy", 'it' referred to the state of the car-buying market, rather than to a car itself.
