I've been Money Tipped!
Are there any good new car price comparison sites ????
I've seen a Renault Clio locally for just under 6K and was looking if it could be beaten or if there are similar deals out there for a small car.

    Martin lists lots of broker sites etc. to contact for quotes in the above article :)

    I contacted each with some really positive results that local dealers can't seem to touch.

    I got a great price on a new Mercedes which I ended up buying on behalf of my mother in law through broker4cars and got the best quote on a Ford Focus through dealdrivers (links for both in the article). You always get stung on new cars however, so I ended up buying a low mileage, year old BMW privately through the Autotrader and saved nearly £5,000 on the list price!

    Shop around - the Autotrader website is good for nearly new cars too, There's always someone selling cheaper than they need to :)

    There are plenty of similar deals out there for cars which are far better; [strike]Renfaults[/strike] Renaults are generally at the lower end of any car satisfaction survey.

    Try a KIA Picanto/Rio, Mitsubishi Colt, Hyundai Getz, Daihatsu Sirion, Toyota Aygo / Citroen C1 all of which are great cars, great value and most likely far cheaper over time.
