Are these heavily-discounted cars really brand new?
I often see advertisements for new car sales with huge discounts. For example, I recently noticed a new Peugeot 207 CC for sale at £13,899 when the full price is around £16,500. It looks too good to be true. Are they really new cars?

Certain vendors specialise in buying in bulk whenever and wherever they can. Some manufacturers still overproduce and the cars may briefly go onto rental fleets or be registered as demos, so they might not actually have many miles on them but are secondhand, and can be tremendous bargains.

Improves on the 206 CC in every single area. A quite impressive coupe-cabriolet. Best of the CCs this size.
