"Sell" man £150K Ferrari, Rolls, Maserati etc, he rags the arse off it, nails hookers in it, and on a whim returns it, legally.

I move cars for several local dealers to me, two prestige, one main dealer, and a classic dealer."Sell" man £150K Ferrari, Rolls, Maserati etc, he rags the arse off it, nails hookers in it, and on a whim returns it, legally.
Rinse and repeat.
None of them would entertain a distance sale, they just tell people they'll have to come to the dealership, otherwise they can't help.
I know one of the prestige chaps fell victim to a chap that did exactly what you've described.
A lovely 911 ragged for a week, 2,000 miles added, and a letter "I know my rights"
Hence he'll never do it again, and neither will the others.

You would think the lawyers that put the wording together, would have a clue if they advising businesses, no?
Apart from the fact the law says you can only inspect goods - so you definitely cannot rag it"Sell" man £150K Ferrari, Rolls, Maserati etc, he rags the arse off it, nails hookers in it, and on a whim returns it, legally.

Although I can fully see why you wouldn't do it as it is a lot of hassle for a complex product like a car.
It seems the business in the OP want to have their cake and eat it.
The Porsche dealership in the case mentioned above should have looked at Regulation 34 (9)
The Regulations said:
34(9) If (in the case of a sales contract) the value of the goods is diminished by any amount as a result of handling of the goods by the consumer beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods, the trader may recover that amount from the consumer, up to the contract price.

Again, see Reg 34(9). Dave In The Pub LLP might miss that one!"Sell" man £150K Ferrari, Rolls, Maserati etc, he rags the arse off it, nails hookers in it, and on a whim returns it, legally.

PS: Thread drifting slightly, in some market segments, I can see that "Rock star Gary Bloke nailed fifty hookers in this Maser. Please note some minor surface damage (scratches and pitting) to wood veneer in centre console" could be a selling point.

He just took the car back for an easy life and put it down to experience.
