Unless its changed in the 5 or so years since I worked for them, CG don't touch ex motability at all! Changing the V5 from disabled to normal takes longer than CG would be willing to have a car physically in the showroom! Add to that. CG would have to supply a tax disk. Which is near against their religion!
Not that ex motability is a bad thing, but afaik, this is not a source. Of course happy to stand, er... Updated?
All I mainly wanted to point out was CG profit margins on the cars themselves is very low. If a car came off the transporter that required too much in the way of repair, or exhibiting any issues where a punter may be likely to return em, they most certainly do go straight back on the lorry to go to auction!0
