A real advantage when it comes to new tyres then.

That is interesting i often wondered how it worked. I notice that AC have a lot of 63 plated Hyundai i10s all with less than ten miles on clock at reasonable savings.
Obviously pre registered.

I have noticed this before with other outlets. Often been tempted out of curiosity to pop in and ask to see the V5 to see who is the first registered keeper.

Maybe it is the car hire set up.

Where I work we insure private hire drivers with £14k Harleys and Porches. So a Private Hire guy with a jag is nothing, Infact theres a private hire driver where I live that either uses a 5 series or a jag as his cab. So again nothing special.

His is a lwb which apparently makes us all jealous.

I am so jealous. I don't know how I'll emotionally cope.

A person I know who works in AC told me they buy cars en masse, register them as hire cars, or whatever loophole it is, so they don't need to pay the car tax - don't know the ins and outs of this but that was what they said - and then flog them a few weeks later as basically new cars with delivery mileage, or "real bargains" to you and me!

One of the salesmen told me a couple of years ago that they buy new cars in bulk (probably the less desirable variants) from dealers, register them and run them for a few hundred miles so they count as used to sell on. Generally by letting the sales staff take them home or as demo cars I assume.

It never made any sense to me why they'd do that before you mentioned this loophole, that'd explain it. But they definitely do add mileage to cars in order to sell them cheaper.

It's called "pre registration" and it's done to achieve targets which attract huge bonuses.
