Broker or Dealer? - lighthouse keeper
I am intending to buy a new car in New Year and have seen some attractive deals from Brokers on new cars however, I wondered if the same or even a better deal can be had by going direct to a Dealership. Does anyone have any relevant experience and advice - are there any pitfalls with using a Broker ?

Main disadvantage is they are not keen on part ex, plus you dont get to chose the dealer your car comes from.

I used Drive the deal and was very pleased - car came from the other end of the country on a transporter - all very smooth, and dealer was very helpful.

You can use the broker quote to beat the dealer down, but if we all did that then there wouldnt be any brokers to play of in the future!
