No mention of any potential illegal situations there. In fact from the last link
"It’s also important to know that manufacturer warranties begin from the date a car was first registered, not when it was sold. This shouldn’t be a concern if the car is only a few weeks old, but you may have reservations if it’s already several months into its warranty, so make sure to ask. A car sold six months into its warranty should be priced to reflect this."
Sweetsands, you need to re-read what your link says and what is being highlighted as illegal, because it's not what you afre arguing.

Hi
If true then it's new rulings.
We always buy our brand new cars online well my OH does. Our understanding of pre-reg is or was that a pre-reg car cannot be legally sold for about 3 months as we looked into this as we either wanted a brand new car ie us the first owners or a hefty discount for pre-reg and MB told us pre-rg had to be so for 3 months and same a Land Rover.

I think it's time you shut up or put up and prove you're not the troll you appear to be. Custard test all four cars and a copy of today's daily mail.

Looks like my car dealer will be going to prison then - my current pre-reg was 2 weeks old when registered to me   But that was a genuine pre reg not a dodgy dealer making numbers up - across the country they had about 100 various specs of the same model.  The previous one was 7 weeks old but it had been on sale for about a month before I bought it.

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1994/22/section/43C

I don't believe that law really applies to a dodgy pre-reg. DTD is scaremongering why you should buy a new car from them rather than a pre reg from someone else. It is more about not registering a vehicle or falsely registering to avoid being traced - I am sure the dealership would pass on details pretty quickly in the same way as Motability or any lease co would.  It would be interesting though if involved in an accident as the insurer would likely walk away and void the policy.

Pre reg = no less than 25% off list price or walk away - my last 2 were around 31-34% off list.

Thank you. As I said previously, read my posts, this dealer has been up and going for 20 years poss plus that and has good reivews. As i said before, if the link contains info that is wrong, I'm sure other dealers that specilze in pre reg cars would pull them up. for that reason it is my sincere beleife that the information is genuine and accurate.

If you believe it to be correct then show one example of somebody being prosecuted for it. Just one that's all it needs. 

Why should I, it was not me that put that message up years ago and still ongoing and legal site that sells millions of pounds worth of cars.  

Bottom line, several posters called me many nasty names here and I backed up my post with what I thought was right and the evidence is in the link to a well known site amongst those that buy, sell cars - now if you think the site is a fraud/lie, take it up with them as I won't as in my judgment it is true as it is a respected broker according to net reviews and that is good enough for me.

May I strongly suggest you look up what Abraham Lincoln said about quotes on the internet.

May I very strongly recommed you contact DrivetheDeal as I am in agreement with that they have stated and happy to go along with that ie the info they pust there as being 100% aaccurate.
Perhaps they will put you and the others straight.

The problem is that your comprehension seems to be as accurate as your typing.

I've made my stance clear and told you before that my strong recommedation to you and the others is contact Drive the Deal the link I posted here on this threa on page one when I was called a liar/etc. I have always gone by the article in the link and beleived in it and if you still can't see that, I will say it for the last time, contact them as I have not problem and happy with what they have posted and have found it very useful.
Thank you

The article isn't the problem it's your complete lack of understanding what it says that's the problem.

Why does anyone need to contact drive the deal, your understanding of what it says is just wrong..it’s that simple, as has been explained by numerous posters

Are you just a Troll

You have made your stance clear.  Your stance remains incorrect.

It remains my stance that you cannot fit five 6 foot men and a 6 foot table into a Mercedes S-Class.

Dear Richard
Several have posted very not so nice posts at me but I've still taken time to respond to the usernmae/s intially but enough is enough of the crass comments..
About the warranty, pre-reg, you may have read i have already warned the OP about that ie starts day of pre-reg.
May I ask what is your honesty interpretation of the link I have posted and the the 'ciminal' aspect.??
If you can't, no worries and I will stick to my stance.
Many thanks in advance
