dealer new cars in the sun...

What is really wrong is when dealers let people test drive a car and then sell it to someone else as NEW.

So a car with 30kms is not new? Most people will travel further than that getting the car home? As long as the dealer is transparent and ensures the car is in showroom condition why does it matter?

In regards to cars being out in the open, Patrick have a holding yard at Ingleburn which houses thousands of cars. They sit there for up to 10 days, along with up to 3 days at the Glebe docks. The time spent at a dealers holding yard is actually less than time spent on the docks. The manufacturer covers cars in plastic which can be kept on the car for up to 3 months. I've seen many many cars leave our showroom in amazing condition after being on our yard for up to 3 months. It's all in the preparation.
