Currently looking for a new car to replace my daughter's old banger, and she has asked for my help. I've looked around at brokers, found one that gave a good price but then I found had very bad customer feedback on the internet, and then came across this company that seems to have pretty good feedback, perhaps too good to be true - or am I just too suspicious?

Anyway, if any of you have had dealing a little reassurance would be helpful before we pull the trigger.

I have spoken to dealers, I know what car we want and the exact specifications, I don't need finance, I have had a quote from the above broker, but I wanted to know if anyone had already dealt with them. That's all. I looked at one broker and found that they were a finance house and that people were receiving cars already registered to another name before owning them second hand. It's a hard world out there, which is why I asked if anyone had any knowledge.

At least Harlowrog seems to understand my OP. I have had quotes from Orangewheels, Drivethedeal and several others but this particular company came out several hundred pounds cheaper. I tried ringing several dealers direct but got short shrift. I was polite, told them succinctly that I wasn't wanting to waste their time, that I had a debit card in my hand and was prepared to order right there and then, and quoted the exact model, specification and the price I had been quoted. Yet these brokers exist and place orders with dealers, so some dealership is prepared to be commercial. This car isn't for me, but my daughter; it isn't a luxury car but a family workhorse, a Skoda Fabia estate which comes highly recommended. Unlike me, she wouldn't know whether to put oil in the washer bottle or the engine, and we just want a solid little car for her and the two children. I have now researched the broker, they are seemingly well reputed, they bank with the Coop in the North West, are seemingly well founded financially, so I have paid the deposit with my credit card. That way, if things go wrong, the bank pays.

Yes, owned by a finance company but trading separately and nothing but good reviews on trustpilot. So in the end a decision had to be made and that's it.

On the other hand, if you look here:-

you'll find quite a different story. Of course, who knows whether any of it is true? My daughter will keep the car for about 10 years (we don't change often as a family - I've had three cars in 23 years!) so if in the end it is pre-registered, which they assure me it will not be, it isn't that big a deal. But the price of the car, ordered to my specification, was extremely attractive. Anyway, paying by credit card protects the deal.
