    You will probably get a cheaper price online but don't think they will take part-ex you may have to go to a dealer to get that included in the deal.



    I've never tried it, although wth carwow and broadspeed you aren't buying over the internet, they 'introduce' you to dealers so you may well be able to px (although how good a price you will get is debatable).


    Having a price you can get a car for is a very good bargaining tool though. A couple of years ago a ford dealer was adamant they couldn't knock any money off a new Mondeo, 'we don't do that anymore'. When he called me a few days later I mentioned I could get the car for £x'000 cheaper via the internet he said ' oh erm my manager has just come over and he says we will be able to match that', lol.

    I've used Carwow twice in the last 8 months. I bought my wife a Ford Kuga from a dealer on Carwow. None of my local dealers could match the deal offered. I saved over £1000 compared to the local dealers best quote and they gave me the same trade in for her car that local dealers were offering, admittedly we had to drive 200 miles to the supplying dealers.
    My dad then got a quote from Carwow for a C3 Picasso, he was offered deals that were almost £6K off the list price. We then approached the local dealers, the first one offered £4K off the list price but when I pointed out the prices from the Carwow dealers within 5 minutes they agreed to match them. But because they initially came in so high he decided to try another local dealer. I phoned them and without prompting they matched the Carwow dealers prices and could source a car quicker than they could so he bought from them (Citroen Glasgow).
    In short I'd recommend Carwow to anyone. You enter the details of the car(s) you are interested in and you get at least 5 quotes from dealers. After that it's up to you, no annoying sales calls or emails. Oh and if you go through Topcashback you get £50 cashback if you buy a car and after you buy the car if you provide feedback on the dealer you get a £25 Amazon voucher. :T
