Hi,
I'm about to buy a hybrid car.
I most likely will buy a new one.
Is it better to use a dealer or a nearly new second hand one?

See if the dealer you fancy has any demonstrators going......I got 3 grand off my Yaris Cross with 1500 miles on.
Which car are you interested in?

You can get some very good deals off the car brokers.

I ordered one, that came from a main dealer, brand new, built by the factory to my order, with a very good discount, full guarantee, I was first registered owner, delivered to me on a transporter after they'd done PDI.

My choice of colour, seats, accessories

They offered lots of leasing deals, but I paid cash.

As well as a big discount, I paid price as at time of ordering, despite a subsequent price rise.

they were called broker4cars and I made payment to GA Finance & Leasing Ltd

but I also looked at carwow.
 
Hi B and J,
I'm interested in a Toyota coroller.
I had a drive in my brother's. His is a car derived van, which I also want, so there's no rear seats, blacked out windows, plus a few little differences.
This would mean that an agency is really favourite for me, to get what I want.
I imagine that asking for a special order, would spoil any chance a of a discount.

I got the discount, but had to wait manufacturers lead time for my order, including shipping from Japan. I had it delivered to me 1st June to get the new registration plate.

I have an idea they offered me other cars ex stock if I wanted one. I think the broker trawls numerous dealers to see what they have.
 
Hi all,
As I'm after a car derived van, I think ex demo is out.
Thanks for the broker link, I asked them a question. Later I could show the main dealer here, the result of the broker enquiry.
I need to look more into the models also.
Thanks, C
 
Is it? Maybe it just got me one complete month of road tax by starting on 1st.
 
Hi,
I bought one from a dealer, that had the same model and colour that I want. It was sent to the dealer from Toyota, but as there was no interest, they sold it £3K cheaper. It was registered, taxed and insured on the day I picked it up, all good.
