Hi everyone

I am thinking of using a car broker for the first time and am slightly apprehensive. I am considering using the company Broker4Cars.

I am looking at a new Nissan and the broker will receive a fee and deposit directly to start with as the order comes from the Nissan factory and not a dealership. Following this, the remaining balance gets paid to the broker (who pays Nissan) 2 days before delivery once the car has been built.

I am wondering why they do not use a referral system like others, however, the company has good reviews and has been trading since 1999.

Can anybody who has used this firm give me any advice/reviews on them, and whether the service they provide is any good?

Many thanks

Is there a particular reason you want to use them?

There are plenty of others that exist that use the more traditional methods of taking a small deposit and then you deal directly with the dealer at the discounted price.

I'm thinking of broadspeed, drivethedeal, carfile as examples.

I've never used any of the above but i know directly of people that have used both dtd and carfile with no issues.

It's mainly because the price they have quoted is the cheapest, and substantially better than those other sites you mentioned.

I have queried this with the broker (i.e. why are yours so cheap) and apparently it is because they have a deal with Nissan currently. The price is approx £10,300, and the closest I have found is £10,600 and £10,900 on other sites.

I am buying a new Kia and asked a local dealer to match the price quoted by Broadspeed (saving over £2k on list) which they did.

Hi, I have called around many Nissan dealers, none of them wanting to match the price, I thought they might do!

The other review thread mentions being able to complete the deal via a dealer, which you can ask about.

Personally, for £300 difference I'd rather pay on collection of the car, than 2 days earlier, especially after reading the other thread. Once you've paid the money you lose a lot of negotiating power. It also gives you somewhere to take it back to if there are problems.

Yeah I have asked broker4cars about collecting from a dealer, they state that it isnt possible with Nissans as they have negotiated a discount direct, and the order comes from the factory. Thanks for the advice though, I will definitely consider other brokers who are slightly higher.

Will they let you collect from the factory?

I assume the car has to be delivered to somewhere, then PDI'd before being delivered to you. I'd feel better with an order if I knew where that was.
