I've built a WordPress multisite for a dealership which has different franchises, ie Honda and BMW. Each franchise has its own website which have a used section, with identical content on them all for used stock.

Am I best using a canonical link to tell the search engines its duped content from one of the multisite sites, or am I best blocking the pages for the used stock in robots.txt for all sites other than the main dealer one?

I've read arguments for and against both approaches, what does the wider development community feel is the best approach?
