Anybody used buyanewcaronline?

I've been looking for brand new qashqai 1.5dci 360 and found this company doing it for £500 cheaper than drivethedeal. I have asked them if it will be pre-registered, and they have come back to me saying it's is not a pre-registered car and will be registered to me on the date of delivery (which will be april)

Anybody used them before? Just worried how they can sell it £500 cheaper than other online brokers in the market.

The company exists at Companies House and its registered address matches the trading address on the website.

The company was registered in 2005.
The domain was registered to the same company and address in 2008
It is registered for VAT at the same address quoted

So none of the usual scam pointers come up so far.

As for reviews - do a search online

well that post in itself is enough for me to avoid them.

Why do companies do this? It muddies the water between hapless spam and a company trying to promote itself, either way, I would not go near these people now

I have to admit I was sceptical when I purchased my car from buyanewcaronline but I can only sing their praises, they were professional courteous and provided me with excellent service and the car I wanted at a price that couldn't be beaten, so yes they are kosher and I can highly recommend them, my next car will be with them.

When a company monitor message boards and spam them, Thats one company to avoid like the plague.

Thanks for that clarification SC00by. One company i will now tell everyone to avoid.

Sorry guys I really would love to get into some pathetic argument about whether it was spam or not, sadly for you I am the one with the car on the drive and am looking at purchasing my next car through the same company at a saving of 5k from the forecourt! In your face!:rotfl:

You have to admit that a first time poster singing a companies praises looks like spam even if it isnt

Ok, lets be clear why you're looking at this:
- you're not paranoid
- Review Centre (which anyone could fill in) didn't have enough online info (on buyanewcaronline or Sonnauto)
- you want confidence that after electronically transferring a lot of cash...your car WILL turn up the next day

So lets hope these are helpful answers:
- it's healthy to be sceptical when you're parting with £20k, but un informed reviews stating 'you should avoid' online car dealers are worse than useless!
- I have placed this review in as many places as possible to assist with your dilemma (yes I am a real person - you can find me on LinkedIn)!
- the car (Nissan Qashqai) turned up the next day DESPITE an admin error that meant Buyanewcaronline had NOT actually received my money!

Finally - a testimonial:
Andrew and Jon, you deserve great credit for the professional way in which you manage your business;
you kept me your regularly informed; the car arrived at 8.15am from a very courteous and helpful driver;
and most of all....
thanks VERY MUCH for trusting me to have the car and sort out the cash later, as I'm sure that wasn't an easy decision for you!
I truly hope this review helps you to help many more people save significant amounts on their next cars!

Best Wishes

Well thats ruined it for them. Never trust a car dealer than spams a forum with fake reviews.

Business slow?

If you want to buy a car from a broker then my view is make sure you only ever pay funds to the supplying motor dealer, and get everything in writing (eg it is not a pre reg etc). Most brokers will get a 'kick back' from the car dealer, so why should you ever pay them. Of course you should always take the broker price to your local car dealer first, and see if they can do it anyway............they can only say no!

Yet another new poster singing the praises, they really must be desperate
