That is really interesting to hear.  Consistency consistency consistency has been drilled into me over the years. Dealers wanting all the first shots to be consistently positioned and shot.

I would think photographing un prepped cars would have more negatives then positives.

These are some things I noticed while looking at some websites:

Cars shot in random places, sometimes even vertical with a cell phone. (even first pictures)  Trash and people's leavin's left through out the car, dirty, and damage showing. 

I would think these things would leave a very un professional appearance to a customer. Especially for a high line luxury car. The customer does not know they are only preliminary photos. They are posted just the same as every other car. What happens when a customer comes in to look at one of these cars and it is at the body shop getting the bumper painted but the car is online .

Not to call any dealer out in particular but I noticed a lot of this  at Bmw of Annapolis
