Just thought I'd start a discussion and get a better idea on how other dealerships deal with this situation.

For the the salespeople here (particularly at luxury dealerships), do you guys have a prevalent amount of exporters coming in to buy your cars? If so, how strict is the manufacturer and how does the dealership handle it?

I'm just curious because I work at The BMW Store and we sometimes get a steady amount of these exporters. I know this because the people picking up these cars usually use their foreign Chinese names and typically get the same models with the exact same options and colors. From what I've read, there seems to be a legal loophole from where exporters uses these people as proxies so that the car is technically "owned" by the person picking up the vehicle and not the actual exporter.
