- pbhjpbhj 8y agoThey do it in the UK too, not sure who it is defrauding? I guess it could be the franchise defrauding the main dealer, but they'd see that the franchise registered it? The sale transaction to the eventual customer is still recorded on the later date, so tax, etc., shouldn't be affected? Would be interested in the explanation.
- detaro 8y agoNo, it's generally not fraud, and done entirely in the open (and sometimes even on behest of the manufacturers)
- oarsinsync 8y agoThe dealer is providing a buffer for the manufacturer, holding extra stock at their own risk. The manufacturer rewards this behaviour because it’s in their interest. The customer benefits from this arrangement with a discount. All parties involved are aware what has been done, all parties consent, no parties are defrauded.
