I agree with what your saying about loyalty / trade discount, but they have become greedy and the fees for smaller traders and private buyers have gone up as much as 35% in 5 years (there was an forum thread on honest John back room about it in the last year).
The fees for small traders are ridiculous,
They should be encouraging competition to drive up the prices for sellers.
So this would mean you would end up paying more for a car. silly

Yes but the seller doesn’t see any of it and ultimately pushes down prices as the smaller traders stop using BCA to buy stock which in turn means less competition in the auction hall
