Has anyone noticed,or had any experience of price variations on main dealer prices for used cars.
I went to 4 bmw dealers today,Hull,Grimsby,Lincoln and Sheffield and saw a t reg 1.6 compact(1.9 engine)for £9995 while at another an r reg compact 1.6 for £9995.The t reg even had alloys ,while the other never.Everything else was very similar,mileage,metallic paint etc.
The salesguy at the cheaper one said they were overstocked and had to get rid.?????

Opinions/experience please

the screen price is only 1 indicator, if you've got a trade in you'd probably get a much better deal on the R reg one and a discount for Cash. The other you'd get a crap trade and no discount. The real difference is always in the total deal to you and your circumstances, thats why if your interested get them to give you a quote for cash or against what your chopping in. F%^K I sound like a Car Salesman.
