    Yes, we used Motorsource for the other half's car in 2017.
    We qualified for the discount because we're NHS slaves.

    Couldn't have been more simple.
    Select what you want on the site and they'll ring you back.
    Prove you qualify for the discount, order and then pay for it just before it gets delivered to the local dealer.

    They supplied the Suzuki through some sort of corporate scheme so she got a few goodies thrown in as well, nothing much, tank of fuel, mats etc.
    You can pay outright or finance it with HP or PCP.
    Mention my other halfs name and we'll share the referral wink wink!

    A colleague put us on to them, she bought a Toyota Yaris Hybrid through them and saved a bundle.

    I'm waiting delivery of a new Clio RS Line, but I bought that through Bluelight Card discount scheme and saved around 20% though I have to take it on PCP and then settle.

    We've also had a few Fiats and Alfas (Jeep also) in the past on their Affinity or Privilege scheme. (outright or PCP schemes).

    There's another broker that arranges similar NHS etc discounts called Griffin Mill, had a few quotes of them in the past but never bought through them, yet.

    Do you qualify for the discounts?

    Sorry, missed off the Suzuki's discount.
    It was just over £4000 on a new (in 2017) 2wd Vitara 1.6 petrol SZ5.

    The Fiat/Afla/Jeep discounts vary from quarter to quarter, some quarters are better than the last, if you search Fiat Affinity or Fiat Privilege you often find last quarters price lists flowing about on a Police Federation website.
    I saved around 20% on a Abarth 595 Turismo last year, until some scumbag stole it.

    I just bought using whatcar and carwow offers, which are quite good
  • Thanks Goudy, I do qualify.  I’m buying a Nissan - original price £26000,  whatcar price £22406
    but motor source is £19737.  Sorry you had yours nicked, life can be blinking cruel at times.
    thanks to you & Nuggy96 for the advice,
