Anyone familiar with ‘your next car’ dealership?
Discussion
I’ve been on their site a few times now and they have a gorgeous selection of BMW’s that I’d probably go and view when the time comes.
However their prices seem pretty cheap for the specs and mileage of their cars.
Reading that motorhub post got me a bit paranoid this could be a similar operation (rolling s
t through glitter as one guy put it!) Can’t find much on google so thought I’d ask in here.
Thanks!

On ebay? Came up a lot for me too when looking for a friend.
They all seemed to be quite nice models for pretty average money , on the verge of being too good to be true.
I found it weird also none of them seemed to be on auto trader which is I'm guessing where most dealers would expect to sell. Perhaps they hold a lot of Cat cars (autotrader shows it up )
Do your research for sure could easily be some guys who know what the people want and source cars to suit.

My advice is the same for any car, any dealer.
Try to take an expert with you, even if you have to give them some beer money.
A bodyshop employee is a good one, not all workshop technicians can spot previous repairs.
Main dealers also, they also let substandard cars slip though their rather large holed net occasionally.

I don’t know any experts unfortunately, bet it would be a decent business for mechanics, getting paid by people to go and view cars with them!
Also good point whoever mentioned the possibility of catagory xyz cars, it IS strange that they aren’t on auto trader and that could explain it l, at least from a paranoid POV!

Don't risk it then.I'm sure you've heard of the sayings
"if it's too good to be true"
"cheap for a reason"
With auction prices high for nice clean cars you have to wonder how any dealer can source lots of cars to sell at below market retail value.
The odd one maybe, but not all of them.

I've come across these and they are on autotrader, they seem to tart up all the BMW's with M Sport extras, bit like an autovogue type of dealer maybe?

If something looks too good to be true, it's usually for a reason!

They put replica m performance kits on bog standard BMW’s, hence halogen lights on some of them!
It’s something i’ve thought of doing for a long time, getting base spec cars sticking some replica/upgrade type tinsel on them as generally the public don’t really care about what engine etc just as long as it looks ‘good’. Clearly it’s a decent way of ‘upgrading’ for sale, damnit! I guess if they’re still well priced even with the upgrades then why wouldn’t you go for them? As long as the dealership checks out...

A dealer near me does it with Transporter vans.I guess if they’re still well priced even with the upgrades then why wouldn’t you go for them? As long as the dealership checks out...
They sell pretty quickly.
I'm 99% sure I've done a job for them, refinishing the leather seats in a Jag XK. They'd also had a panel replaced by a trimmer I know. This is telling for me, as usually car dealers don't use me, as they want cheap tart ups even though they don't last. It suggests to me that they prepare their cars properly if nothing else.
