It's not so simple. A car booked on my name doesn't comes out of the factory undocumented. And a car delivered from factory on my name cannot be sold to someone else and the showroom re process an order on my name.
Showroom have a monthly quota and they have to purchase xyz number of cars each month. They have told investors to pool in money, share profits and book cars. Showrooms get uninvolved vehicles for display purposes. And incase of unsold units they get extra units too. But their is a time frame in which these cars have to be invoiced.
A toyota honda suzuki franchises costs 2 to 5 crore rupees. And their isn't alot of dealer margin. So showroom owners try to pool in investors so they meet their monthly targets and its win win situation.
The best they can do is to invoice the cars on their own showroom/company name and later when sold take payments in their account.
Mostly cars sold on premium are second owner vehicles. People don't bother because its registered on their name.
Since 2 years these cars are being registered on the name of the purchaser and then being sold.
Showrooms even made sure they won't deliver the car unless the original booker comes to take delivery of the vehicle. That is one reason most showrooms are demanding registration money in advance aswell.
