It is interesting that in Europe, buying a car means going to the factory-franchised dealer, order and wait several months to get your car. The only car I bought new took 6 months to be delivered and that car model had existed for over 2 year before I ordered it, so it was not a new or recently refreshed car.
When you buy a show-room car, or an in-stock car (km 0 car), you expect a significant discount (10 -> 20% off) over the discount you generally expect (i.e. not much nowadays except maybe free metal paint or free alloy wheels upgrade)
There are few generalist dealer that do multi-brand dealer where you buy in stock car. The interest to go to those dealers is that they indeed have the car in stock and generally with a good discount over the factory-direct sales, or provide configuration that are not available in your country[1].
[1] Factories provide different pack and dependencies between options is different EU countries. For example, a car I was looking at requires luxury electric seats in order to install 360 camera in Belgium. It is available as a standalone option in Spain on most trims, but is restricted to the most expensive trim in the UK. The EU is weird like that.
