I have been given a quotation for a new C-Max 1.6 TDCI by Buyacar.co.uk at a substantial discount of £3687, as well as a reasonable p/x price on my existing car.

The car will be made to order with a delivery time of 8-10 weeks. They seem to offer all that a main dealer does (warranty etc) except that I will be the 2nd owner on the log book. They want a deposit of £500 now.

Is there a catch? How do they manage to achieve such discounts on new models?
