Default OT new car vs year old car....

They are generally what's known as pre-registered. The dealer sort of
buys the cars himself to get the discounts offered by shifting over a
certain number. So they are generally new and unused, but you become
the second owner. Possibly last year's model too. But can be a good
buy if the price is right.


Which are you referring to? the brand new offers or the year old
second hands?


The brand news are unregistered main dealer supplied current
models - I expect them to be *the* latest models.


What I am getting at is the 2nd hands don't seem cheap enough when
comparing the prices & allowing for steep 1st year
depreciation...


Are they actually a year old - or just an earlier registration?
But of course you can *ask* whatever price you like for a used car.
Doesn't mean to say it will sell.
