A mate of mine was having dinner with a mate of his who is a car nut with large collection etc. He's owned Defs for years and was one of the select few invited to buy the new V8, which he did. Was in the LR dealership his wife saw a new 90 in the showroom and he asked to buy that as well. Deposit down. When he came to collect the 90 once the paperwork had been done, the dealer asked him if he would like to sell it for 10k profit. The gentleman replied no, his wife would kill him. When he asked the dealer what he had been offered, he was told 20k above list. Apparently, and this I never knew, you cannot sell a brand new car above list price. However, the moment it was registered in the woman's name it became 'second hand' and open to offers, even though it still had no Miles on the clock, no final payment had been made and it was still in the showroom. Interestingly, the same chap was offered 250k (100k profit) for his V8 by a work colleague, immediately after the weekend he placed the order. He said no.
