Yes Rural deals sell other cars as well. And yes they wont go bankrupt because they make money on other cars. BUT why would they sell the 86 at all if it was financially non beneficial. Is it fair on the rural dealer to sell cars at a loss or a rural enthusiast to not get a car from their local dealer at all?

Except it wouldn't be necessary. FIFO would basically ensure that customers who ordered from rural dealerships would be getting their cars by now-- They're often not, by the way. If you ordered first week June you should have been allocated a car before unallocated ones went to dealerships. Rural dealers wouldn't be missing out under a FIFO model. People would get their cars as they were queued-- Not whenever their dealer got allocated one. City dealers would NOT get preference under FIFO. First orders would get preference. There's a difference.
