130is for sale - strange?

[Nigel H]

I've just been idling away a few mins looking at 130is for sale.

I've found 3 cars for sale again now that were for sale at the same time I bought my car 16 months ago (I had the reg plates stored in my cache!). All are ex BMW management cars, all now with a different dealer and all done more miles. So it looks like they were sold and are for sale again within 12 to 18 months.

e.g. http://www.bmw.co.uk/bmwuk/auc/car_details/0,,1260...

It just struck me as strange that so many cars were sold on again within such a relatively short time. Or did something else happen to them maybe?

It could be that with the market so badly affected for used cars 12 months ago , now represents a good time to change with a much lower cost to change than normal. I've just traded my Z4 bought 11 months ago after 12500miles for £1000 higher than we paid for it on a car thats only £1500 more expensive. Never happened to me before and unlikely to happen again but there are some unusual deals about. The dealer now has the car on the website for considerably more than the same model 12 months ago when it had only 95 miles on the clock ! Strange times.
Alternatively with the unique looks of a bangle bmw its possible the owners have just had an eyetest...
