Are there any snags in using these? For a new Fiat Grande Punto diesel I am contemplating, Drive The Deal, which seems to be the one favoured by HJ, offers a mouthwatering 16% or so off. The same rate applied to extras, although the choice of them is limited. According to what they say, the car might well be supplied by my local dealer. Showroom salesmen must know about such savings - so maybe I should ask them for 16% off to start with?

Get a drive the deal price walk into your local dealer and ask if they can match the price. Our Toyota dealer couldn't get near and I had no problems with drive the deal.

Yes, if the physical dealer can get close to the internet price, I would rather use him. At least you know where to go to moan if delivery is delayed or there are other problems.
