They'll find ways around it, case in point this Focus ad.

Zooper cars is a branch of the Stillwell group I believe, somehow they've managed to come across 40 near new Focus in a bulk buy, whats the chances that these all came from their Ford franchise.
Note the Km's on this one, its still a new car being sold through a used car yard.
How do you sell a new car through a non franchised outlet and why would you.
My money's on it being 'sold and registered' and then sent to the used yard to actually move.
