Ah the ones Cazoo use are like lorries where you drive the car in.Transporters are driven on the road, no?
I don't know the technical term, but it's all covered anyway. But looking at Cinch website they do drive the cars to you from their depot.

Next you'll be suggesting it isn't 'full specification' with just £7k of extras on it
Having seen the state a main dealer "basically brand new", 10 miles on the clock, pre-reg was presented to me in I'd agree with your advice of managing expectations!Saying it’s like a brand new car at this stage, is setting yourself up for a fall.
C’mon now, let’s call a spade, a spade. It’s a 2nd hand car, that’s been used. Sounds like from the issues mentioned, it’s hardly just out the wrapper.
The online places are much more transparent than the bricks and mortar places. They’ll show issues, damage, etc on the photos and videos and give a decent money back guarantee.I still can't get my head around buying a used car online. Every time, without exception, I've gone to see a car at a main dealer or otherwise, it's had something on it which needed to be rectified before we would buy it. I'm going to have a look at another few today so we'll find out if that holds true
I think you missed my point - I completely agree with you!
That certainly seems to be the case and it ties in with the financial and psychology side of things. By the time you arrive at a physical dealership you've invested time and cost getting there so as annoying as that extra scratch is you can justify to yourself overlooking it.The online places are much more transparent than the bricks and mortar places. They’ll show issues, damage, etc on the photos and videos and give a decent money back guarantee.
Bricks and mortar places hide damage on the photos, don’t tell you about it on calls and don’t highlight it on videos. They want you in the building and then deal with, thinking it’s more likely you’ll buy once you’re in.
Thankfully, the proliferation of the online shops have made the traditional places work harder for the customer and these practices listed above are slowly changing.

Or he went for a drive and the wheels came off, car spun into a ditch and he is now lying helplessly trapped by his seatbelt upside down...No update so the car must have been delivered and all is well.
He must still be out in it

(I'll feel terrible if this is actually the case)
As expected, looked at a 23k mile 2018 V90 and at a main dealer and it had a big scuff on it's rear bumper, the seat bolster was worn, the front drivers and passenger door had big dents (not parking dents) and chips out of the paint. Annoyingly even though we told them we wanted to come and see it, and they've had it for several weeks, they still "hadn't prepped it". Nevermind though as we saw an 2018 XC60 which was nicer, but still had some paint defects like big scratches and some decent door dents. My nearly 80k mile C63 is in a *much* better state and even my partners is 2007 Audi A3 with 165k miles!14 day many back guarantee; fairly low effort if there is an issue. But you are right, it must be a bit weird. The masses don't seem to care though - cars being for utility and all that.
Then again I do have a theory that the more careful you are with your car the more it naturally attracts careless donks to hit it.
Every time I look at a car on the likes of Carzoo and Cinch they always have more photos of the damage than good shots of the car. Always puts me off.
