Hi all

Does any one have any experience on buying a car on-line. The sites use a main dealer who despaches the car. I am buying my wife a little Citroen C2 which I can get £500 cheaper by buying through a broker - thats what I presume they are. See link below.

It's always best to just phone them and check their policy.

There are a number of car brokers online so try a few more.

I know that DriveTheDeal.com would not take any money from you, just pass you over to the dealer to arrange deposit. They would make a cut in commission from the dealer I presume.

Any thoughts or comments will be most welcome.

Glad to help,
If you are continuously priceing building work and want it too look good then this is for you. Otherwise for one of jobs use pencil, paper and a calculator, it will be quicker than entering labour and material rates and adjusting the software to British build techniques. Even a basic excel spreadshet will do the job quicker.
Having spoken with the easy price pro people at length, I eventually got annoyed with their attempts at denying the software was American. Spouting rubbish about a builder from Essex designing it. Found their sales patter to be too far from the truth, unethical for me.
Their is no magic answer to the old game of getting the contractors in to give quotes.
I do not break my prices down for people, what i pay for labour and materials is my buisness. Most builders/contractors will give a price to do the work, that is it.
