Hi George - they are spending - selectively !

...that's easy: sales volume rebates / bonuses. Been doing it for years.
Say you buy the cars at a certain price. Now, if you buy 50, you get them at a certain price. If you buy 100, you get a better price. Let's say at the 50 level they cost you 10,000. At the 100 level they cost you 9,500.
Now, a few days left to the end of the measuring period (let's say June this year), you've sold 95. You will have paid 10,000 for each of them.
The way it works is this: the 95 cars you've bought so far have all been at the "50" price - 10,000 - and here's the incentive to make sure you sell 100: if you DO sell 100 by the end of the target period, you get all 100 cars at the "100" price. The distributor/mfr will retrospectively apply the higher discount if you reach the higher sales target to the entire 100. Which means that if you sell the magic 100, you get to pay 500 less per car for each of the 100 cars. That's a rebate cheque to you, from the manufacturer/distributor, of 50,000. Which, in our example.........is 5 cars for free.........
To qualify, or prove you sold 100, you have to provide the registrations.
In theory, you could sell those pre-reg cars for a huge discount to punters - or give them away free even - to get them off the lot, and the dealer will still make as much money on the 100 in toto, as he knows the rebate will come in. Win for dealer. Win for people prepared to buy pre-reg's.
Have a look at 'below dealer invoice pricing' as they call it in the US. They can show you an invoice from the mfr for more than they're selling it to you, and you get a deal. In reality there's a big bonus cheque in the ether to come off that, providing he hits his sales numbers. Over there it's a calculated gamble by the garage sometimes. He might be doing that on car 10, a long way from the 100, just to shift volumes. But that's his problem. And it's huge business in the UK too.
And if you're selling say, Clio's and shift the extra 5 to make the magic 100 figure, you just know that that's 5 people that won't be buying Polo's/Ibiza's/Yaris etc etc.............you've taken those 5 punters out of the loop for the next 3/4/5 years.
And that's a Wwin' for the mfr..........who'll not doubt proclaim a 'shift' in the market to 'value' and their brand......
It's psychological warfare, I tell ya !!
And now, thanks to SIMI-myopia, you can do this twice a year !!

Ah, the Shamrock. You can tell it's an Irish car by the fact that it weighed 2 tons but was powered by a 1.5 liter engine. It should have been a screaming success here.0 -
