We do have a Frequently Asked Questions page (click here!) but we’ve noticed on our website stat’s that less than 10% of site-users visit our terms or faq’s pages in any week, so we’ve decided to put an ‘In a Nutshell’ page here to answer the questions we are asked on average around 40 times a day by telephone & email! We hope it helps.....

How do I use the website?
All the detailed model pages are accessed via the ‘New Car prices’ menu tab (top left), from these you can see how much to order a new car of your choice, most factory extras are displayed too and product info.

If you’re in a hurry and need a car quickly, then bargain quick-delivery dealer stock is shown on our DealerStock website (accessed on the link above left just under New Car prices!)

If you want a used car rather than brand new, then simply use the page links on the ‘Used Cars’ tab (above left, just under the Dealer Stock tab!)

Everything else on the website... just peruse at leisure, lots of information and useful stuff!

So, how does this work?
The prices on all our websites are simply direct from normal main dealers and motor groups who want to reach a wider audience than their own immediate area, to get more customers. Our web pages enable them to do that at no advertising cost, and without their staff time taken up running quotes...we do all that legwork for them.
 As we are feeding order requests from new customers from other areas of the UK to them, the resulting high volume of sales they get helps them hit their quarterly sales targets with car manufacturers. So - although they give away more discount to get that volume, the resulting bonuses they can earn by hitting their targets makes up for not making a profit in each single car sale.
When you are ready to order we simply put one of our dealer partners in touch with you that day and they will look after you and your order direct, just as when you buy from a dealership closer to your home. Car dealerships are simply shopfronts for a brand of car, you can buy from any of them. You simply deal with our partnered dealers by telephone and you never hand us a penny.

But there’s loads of internet brokers I can choose from....
Not like this there’s not. There are probably only 4-5 in the UK who operate a process where you don’t hand them any money at all. We are one of them, we simply put you and a dealer offering a high discount in touch so you can buy direct. We don’t charge you a fee. Most will require you to hand money to them (so you are buying from a re-seller, not a dealer, this may not be apparent until it’s too late)...and many will be less than clear on their website that the car’s logbook may not be made available to you for some months to enable you to have your name put on it (this is in contradiction with DVLA regulations and may also affect your insurance policy).
It’s very easy for these re-sellers to set up, but if you hand your money to them, you need to know its safe and they are passing your money on to the supplying dealer. Many UK drivers found out the hard way in May 2008 when a large broker who took deposits and final balances direct from customers had not, in fact, then paid the dealers for the cars. The drivers could not get their cars and had to try and obtain money back from their credit card companies or other funders.

I want to buy from a franchised dealer
You are doing!

We simply put a normal franchised dealer in touch with you once you are happy with the price etc. You aren’t buying ‘on the internet’ - we just have a website to show you the prices our dealer partners are happy to sell at, but we are a normal business with staff and office premises which are open to the public (you aren’t paying us, nor are you buying from us...our websites simply display pricing normal dealers have offered in return to get the volume of sales we can bring to them)

Why would a dealer give you more discount than they’ll give me?
Simple mathematics. If you go into a dealership to negotiate with a showroom salesperson (who needs to earn commission) and you are only offering them the potential sale of one car, compared to DealDrivers - who agree their prices with the owners of dealerships and motor groups on a multi-brand basis, as we are feeding hundreds of orders into them each year, who is going to get the bigger discount?

So might the dealer you use be the same one I’ve tried to get a deal from?
Yes, it could be if - by coincidence - you live in the area where one of our partnered dealers is, to whom we steer a large number of our customer’s orders.

Why won’t my local dealer offer the same deal? 
There are a number of answers here, all or just one may be relevant in your own local dealer’s case:
1) He may not want to try and reach his volume targets as he knows his small local customer base is not big enough to enable him to do that very often, so he decides to make a profit in each single car sale instead, meaning lower discounts locally. Nothing wrong with his decison, it is each dealers’ own business choice.
2) He may not want, or have, any broker supply relationships to get that extra volume he needs to make up for needing to give more discount away.
3) All dealers are given the same profit margin and bonuses on vehicles by their manufacturer. It is up to each dealer to set his own discounts based on what he needs to cover his premises and staff overheads, and what he thinks his local marketplace can stand - in terms of price...hence so many geographical variances.
4) If we do, by coincidence, put a local dealer in touch with you whom you’ve already approached, the price we get is lower simply because he’s getting dozens of orders from us, whereas the salesman you approached individually could only discount based on the fact you’d only be buying one car.

So ..I don’t really need to do all this work trying to beat a dealer down using internet quotes?
Nope! We’ve already done it and made it easy for you. Tell us what you want, we’ll sort out the price for you and put a main franchised dealer in touch once you’re happy with the arrangement we’ve found for you. They’ll look after you direct from that day forwards.

What if anything goes wrong with my new car? 
It is exactly the same situation as if you’d ordered it through your local dealership. Dealerships are just local franchised shopfronts for a brand of car (just the same as a John Lewis or Marks & Spencer is the local shopfront for their branded products, it doesn’t matter which of their shops you buy it from, it’s still come from the same factory). Your warranty on a new car is from the manufacturer, not the dealer who processes your order.
A manufacturer doesn’t expect you to stay living near the same dealership for the time you own a car, you can take your car to any authorised servicing or repair centre for that brand to have work done on it under warranty etc.
To put it into perspective, how do you think the thousands of company car drivers get their cars repaired and serviced...as they aren’t bought from each driver’s local dealership either!?

I just want to use my local dealer, but get him to match your price. 
Not really fair on your local dealer that one...you want him to remember you for the right reasons, not the wrong ones, if you use him for servicing once you own the car.
Bear in mind the notes at the top of this page about how we get our discounts. You are expecting your local dealer to offer the same discount as our partnered dealers - but with none of the benefits, so why should he? He is only getting your one single sale at little or nil profit, whereas our partnered dealers give the discount in return for hundreds of orders - to enable them to make a profit overall by hitting their unit sales targets using our orders.
Also, why not use us and our dealers? We’ve got the price, done the work, so why try so hard to give your order to someone else who wouldn’t have been prepared to offer you the same deal without some duress, just by asking them to match our deal. Why not just buy from our dealers?
The more people who use a service like ours (based on “strength in numbers”), means the better the prices become, as the volume-of-sales leverage we get from the numbers involved helps to increase the discounts overall for everyone. If you don’t use us, you may lose us!
