New Car

I'm looking for a replacement car. One of the options is to buy new and drive a hard bargain for a good discount. I've used Carwow to find out what discounts are available, I'm sure there are other companies that can offer discounted cars but I can't seem to find them.

Can any one recommend other sites?

I've always found Drive the Deal to be more useful than carwow.

Try Broadspeed.com as that site enables you to get an instant price and not wait for dealers to submit offers. They might not be the cheapest but will act as a guide as to the prices and discounts available.

Yes, can I second that. When I purchased two new cars a few years ago I took the Drive the Deal quote with me and the local dealer gave me a better quote. It was a good yardstick.

By the way, I now personally lease new cars for three years and find it cheaper than buying new. Worth checking the cost online. But don't ask your local dealer, they charge a lot more per month than a broker. For my wife's Golf the difference was more than £50 a month for an identical car.

Broadspeeed is very useful, I can get an instant indication of price which will let me know which car is the best value.

Drive the deal and Carwow can then be used to see if I can better the Broadspeed offer. Using all together I can then see if my local dealer is offering a competitive deal.

Thanks to you all.
