Buying a new car through a broker?

I have pretty much decided to buy a Hyundai Veloster. I have checked the main dealerships and priced seem pretty fair. However, 2 discount sites are offering two to three grand of the list price for new cars, where I would be the 1st registered keeper. The sites are 'Drive the Deal.com and 'New-Car-Discount.com'.

They seem pretty legitimate. I have only made enquiries so far and not committed to anything - should I be wary?

www.drivethedeal.com is the safest broker to buy via. The Veloster has not been a big seller, and that explains the discounts.
