I'm not sure all cars advertised on a dealer's forecourt (UK) are necessarily owned by the dealer. Whether the physical presence of a car makes a difference, I don't know.

My car is an example of being advertised by two dealers, at different times. I bought it from a third dealer, advertising the car. The first two dealers never actually had the car on their sites, it was still at BMW HQ and owned by BMW. The third dealer bought it from BMW and I did the deal to buy it, while still to be transported from BMW, before it even got to the dealer's forecourt.
