If I wanted to buy say 50 vauxhall corsas would I be better to go direct to vauxhall fleet services or try and hook in with a dealer who purchases these in bulk and may get a better deal already? I have had a look around but it all seems pretty cut throat with contradictions on either side

Try them both for the best deal, no point in all eggs in one basket

You would probably struggle to beat a figure from Vauxhall Fleet direct as they will put terms together for an order of that magnitude - although some brokers (such as myself) have pretty good terms on them too.

Speak to Derrick at Motoplan as well. I used to do leasing and fleet sales and can tell you that they will definitely be able to do something, perhaps better than going to Vauxhall direct.

That is a relatively large amount of cars to order from one brand (quite possibly the same number as manufacturers expect from a fleet with many hundreds of cars), speak to Vauxhall fleet and they will get some terms in place which will be on top of any dealer discount.
