My AUII has a Ford dealership as the first owner in the books. Apparently it was the service manager's car.
My Dad's 2004 Mitsubishi AWD VR-X was the same. It had Mitsubishi Motors as the first owner in the books. (car was bought in SA) The dealership had it for 2 years before my Dad bought it from them in 06. Long time to have a demo/company car.

At various times Ford (and Holden, as well as other manufacturers) will register a heap of cars and then sell them. This gets their new car registrations statistics up.

Both my 2 recent Fords are Ford Australia owned cars. My Xr6 was from a process engineering in Geelong and my current car was from Core Engineering in Broadmeadow.

I have a good friend at the Ford factory who has just received his first company car, once you get to a certain grading you can get a car, he has been a supervisor for a while but only got to this particular grading last year, he pays $80 per week ( petrol is extra ) and has a G6E, these cars are changed over quite quickly every 8 months from memory of what he was telling me. Now he can option the car up but every option adds to his weekly cost, he then has the option of buying it at the end of the 8 months, or other employees can buy it.
A demo is registered to the particular dealer, this I know as my Territory is an ex Demo and it has the Stealers details as the first owner |

lol, nah the guys there are pretty good. I also had 'work stuff' to do that involved using the cars. I know that some of em even let some of the line workers drive their cars. Mind you it was interesting seeing the look on mums face when I picked her up in an XR8 from hospital after she had surgery.

A girl in stamping from the offices used to use the plant managers car to run around in, this included a F6X, Typhoon and a GT-P!!!!!!!! Not too sure what he drives at the moment but that girl took a package anyway. I am secretly hoping her job is offered out to production again.........
