Nearly new are just one component of any decent franchised dealers offering. Often they get collosal discounts (as opposed to huge normally) on run-out models, but mainly they are just part and parcel of the overall deal. You get bulk discount, you reach sales targets by pre-registering, you supply your hire/fleet/service side with cars, let every tom, !!!!!! and harry run them and then sell them at, "discounted prices" and make as much overall as the customer ordered fresh stock.
All part of the game.
Be cautious of all of them, and be wary of the ones that have only delivery mileage on them and be registered to the Dealer. They have got the collosal discount, you will only get a percentage of that and the next buyer will simply see it as a two owner car.
Yes I think I know what our mean. My Ford Fiesta is under a year and the model is no longer being sold new by Ford. This is great! I will in future look out for this to get a on old model in a nearly new car. :T“…the ‘insatiability doctrine – we spend money we don’t have, on things we don’t need, to make impressions that don’t last, on people we don’t care about.” Professor Tim Jackson

My car is 10 months old and I'm the fourth owner! First registered to Citroen dealer on 31st March 2012, reregistered by raffle winner 6 days later bought by another dealer and then bought by me mid May with 460 miles on the clock for £6350, £3090 under local dealers price
I wasn't worried at all about the car all changes are logged and I have photocopies of previous V5's to show full history.
Where you able to get all this history (who the owners were as you stated above) printed somewhere for you to see? What is this document called?“…the ‘insatiability doctrine – we spend money we don’t have, on things we don’t need, to make impressions that don’t last, on people we don’t care about.” Professor Tim Jackson
