At the end of the day cars are commodities so the current trend is probably unavoidable. |

I understand this is why there were a glut of prereg cars in May - dealers buying up the last they could via the wholesale route and registering them before the cut off.
Certainly this is where the car i just bought came in, there were loads of them around and a week later, all sold.

Also, I think there will always be a place for showrooms. Some people, me included, like to see, touch, feel and drive a car before buying or placing an order.

Dealer gets a commission on selling a car for the manufacturer RATHER than the dealer buys the car wholesale and sells the car on.
It removes any option of discount at all as the dealer only handles the sale, you're buying from the manufacturer at their set price.

Or buy a Porsche. No discounts - long waiting times - but a car well put together and will hold onto more of its value.

I would imagine that bulk discounts and promotions for shifting models (ie introducing most customers) will still exist to motivate the good dealers. So potentially they could be using some of this rebate to entice more customers with some sort of dealer refund/servicing/accessory deal. Or would this be specifically banned with their agreement with Volvo?
