Car dealer offers delivery on certain models only?

A car dealer often pops up on my Facebook news feed. They say you can pay online & have the car delivered at an extra cost.

Lately tough I've noticed there's certain models and they say these are collection only. They cars are still arounf €10,000.

Is this because the cars may have some issues and with paying online and having it delived you'd have more of a come back regarding your consumer rights.

Or am I drastically over thinking it?

Anything that anyone is literally willing to drive to your house for you to take it is desperate to get rid of it. I'd say odd model or sitting in stock too long. The fast moving stuff will usually sell itself and they can hold a higher profit margin by not delivering

Connelly in Donegal? Seems to generally be his more expensive cars that they'll deliver free, others you've to pay, and then the cheaper/higher mileage stuff you've to collect and usually states a short warranty with warranty work done in their garage only, rather than the usual nationwide warranty they offer.
