Indeed

The reason i quoted broadspeed is that they, as i've said, are a front for the Inchcape group.

If you quote an internet company to your local dealer he'll say he doesnt price match internet companies, however he cant say that with Broadspeeds background.

Some of the other brokers may well be main dealer backed, though, i dont know.

Hi,

Broadspeed are not a frontpage for Inchcape PLC, they are not owned or linked to any motor dealer and are purely a broker. Autobytel were Inchcape owned but they ceased to trade a number of years ago.

I would recomend reading the reviews and submitting an enquiry with each of the major brokers to make your own mind up before placing an order.

I stand corrected! Thankyou.

Though the good news is they say "We work with smaller family owned local dealerships and some of the largest national dealer groups" which means your local dealer cant say they're selling imports, etc.

Many years ago my local toyota dealer wouldn't get near a drivethedeal quote. We just bought through the broker, very easy and no need to spend hours being sibject to dealer BS!

Website is built poorly and I have enough spam as it is.

Then use a secondary email account that you don't use, very few companies get my main email address.


I printed a carwow quote off from a dealer 70 miles away, offering a free tank of fuel if I picked the car up myself, I showed it to the local dealer and said if I buy it from you I wont need the fuel, he got the correct impression that I would have taken a 70 mile train journey to the other dealer and price matched.

Do any brokers operate in Scotland? I've checked drive the deal and car wow in the past but only provide prices for English dealers.

Bring your passport and phrase book and pick your car up from England then.

Some Scottish and Carlisle dealers have quoted me via Carwow. Border Cars and Ingram Skoda & VW being three of them

For some reason Drivethedeal is getting me better deals than Carwow as well, there must be a catch?


Either way I am hoping to be able to use the Toyota 0% offer interest free for 42 months for finance.
