Looking at a new car from brokers and most offer 3k off the price

For the same car Broadspeed state they will double that for most models across the range

It all looks legit with the transaction going through a dealer but as the saying goes.....

Apart from remembering their tuned cars from a couple of decades ago I know nothing about them

Anyone used broadspeed.com??

Dealers will hate you, but print off a quote & ask them to match it...

^^^^ Thats stage 2 of the plan but the lack of bull with a fixed price appeals

The cars are said to be main dealer supplied and current MY UK cars, the car in question hasnt been updated since last year so it isnt even old stock -ha, ha and yes I will make sure they havent been hanging round since Christmas although its a mainstream model and I think this unlikely

Their discounts are roughly double of every other broker on this car from the poverty spec base model to the bells and whistles at the other end of the range
Most of the other brokers offer 3k off, Broadspeed say they will give me 6k

Im not in a hurry and will certainly phone them up to discuss further but if anyone has any direct experience, or even knows someone who knew someone they met in a pub then Id love to hear

It just sounds too good to be true................

I used Broadspeed quite a few years ago when buying a Freelander 2. I had test driven one and liked it and a friend pointed me in the direction of Broadspeed as he had used them and got a good discount off of a car he bought.

The LR dealer gave me a quote at full list and would not budge on my first call to him. I tapped the same spec into Broadspeed and their offer was c£3500 cheaper and the car could be collected from any LR dealer on their list, including one of the sister dealerships of the one I had been to. I was about to pull the trigger with Broadspeed when I had a call from the LR dealer asking me if I was still interested. I explained the deal with Broadspeed and he said if I brought the Broadspeed quote in he would match it and allow me to use the LR 50/50 finance deal on offer as well.

I took the Broadspeed offer in the next day and shook hands on the deal he offered over the phone and signed the paperwork there and then. Effectively Broadspeed allowed me to save c£3500 on the list price of the car I wanted and if they are still around would suggest you speak to them and see what they can do for you, where your car can be collected from and how quickly they can provide it. I couldn't fault them and all the cars were UK spec collected from a registered UK dealership when I was looking.
