General Depreciation disaster

....Pre-registered cars are cheaper because the manufacturers (all of them, not just Fiat) give their dealerships extra money for registering large numbers of new cars to themselves. If the same dealerships had sold the same cars as new they would not have had the margin to sell them as cheaply....

Surely the manufacturers reward the volume-sales dealers with heavy bonuses for selling over their agreed 'target' . The dealer pre-registers vehicles to meet (and exceed) that target, therefore securing their bonus. I don't think the manufacturers actually give them money for pre-registering....

I agree with b1g1an....Dealers working on volume sales who are pre-registering are obviously very willing to sell stock cheap, so there are bargains to be had!
