  • I work for probably the largest broker there is.

    You can choose your car from any reputable UK dealer, and we can also cater for private sales too. As Hotspur says, the money is transferred directly to the seller.

    Except it may have had a road trip on its way to you already? Not counting the several other drivers that have already drive it?

    Drive from the factory to the storage, then on/off the trucks, built abroad? driven on and off the transport ship?
    Then to the storage and on off transporters etc etc?

    Some brokers will transport the car to you for extra cost.

    I have used a broker twice now with no problems at all.

    And unload them at Harwich. Piecework.

    I mentioned it as a downside, not a pre requisite of using a broker.

    The supplying dealer for our Toyota was a three train and taxi trip from home, followed by a 5-6 hour drive back home. Delivery driver was in his 50s, very courteous, did full handover. Worked a treat.

    I've seen the drivers at Immingham Docks, every second counts!
