Thanks Local Yokel. Do you know if they have a good reputation?

I'm always put off ny company's that use national rate phone numbers.
I wonder if they were in business before Costco the discount warehouse came to the UK?

The address in their T's & C's is:
Winchester Enterprise Network Limited, PO Box 95, Alresford, Hampshire, SO24 0WD
If you want to return a car under DSR it has to go back there - wonder how you return a car to a PO Box?

Bill - thanks for info.
Unfortunately, I have to show my ignorance and ask you to kindly explain 'T & C's' and the signifance of returning a vehicle under DSR?
Since I posted the initial enquiry I have 'trawled' through Autotrader and noticed Costcocars offer new cars from several other manufacturers, all at considerable saving to list price and available for collection at authorised dealers!
Should I count my blessings and accept there are other ways of buying a car other than at list price or proceed with extreme caution? Comments welcomed. Thanks.

Terms and Conditions (there's a link to their's at the bottom of their webpage.
DSR is Distance Selling Regulations. In some ways this gives you more protection than buying at a dealer. Basically it means that if you conduct the whole transaction without ever meeting anyone face to face then you can reject the car within 7 days for whatever reason and get your money back.

On the face of it they're no different in the way they work from any other broker. The reference 'good guy' in this field is probably www.carfile.net
blue_haddock, who frequently posts on here, used to work in a Toyota dealer, so may be able to offer some relevant advice.
