Hi
I'm thinking of changing my car and need finance to do so.Had a look at quite a few car finance companies online and came across http://www.autobytel.co.uk
Just wondered if anyone had any dealings with them and what they're like.
Thanks in advance x

  • Hi...if you look on their website at the 'about us' page (which you should always do to understand how a company is set up or who they are owned by, to then do some more digging to reassure yourself) you'll see they are part of Inchcape Group...one of the leading 3 big UK highly reputable motor groups...so you are perfectly safe.

    Hope that helps!

    Why use a site with pictures of cars all over it?

    Why not get the best loan rate from a money supermarket site?

    Not a criticism of the OP in any way, I just don't get it.

    Autobytel, from my dealings with them a few years ago, were just a front end for financial partners - they helped me get the car I want but I sourced the finance separately.
    There will be a commission in it for Autobytel if you finance through them - save that and get the money direct from a lender - unless it's a stunning deal of course!!

    Good luck :)
