Hi. I'm looking at getting a new car, so hope I could get some advice from the AVF community.
I've looked at a few places, and at the moment broker4cars.co.uk have produced a cracking quote, that my local dealer can't come close to matching.
I'm not going to put the price or even the model I'm after here to avoid going off-topic with "why don't you get a ***** or buying through ***** instead"
Lots of things about the broker check out:
Companies house confirms they really have been in business a long time, and the directors don't have a string of bankrupt firms behind them.
I can pay the deposit and fee by credit card (which I think protects me for the whole lot)
I'll be the first name on the reg docs
It's a UK model
Full manufacturer's warranty
Comments on various forums (honestjohn etc) about them go back a long way
The only negative experiences I could see all came from newly-registered forum users, and all at the same time.
The only warning signs are:
They take the money themselves, rather than passing me to a dealer (although they source the car from a franchised dealer).
They're cheap.
Has anybody used them before, or know somebody who has? Are there any other questions I should be asking before going ahead?
Thanks in advance.
