Carwow are sh!te these days, Coast2Coast best for BMW, but you rarely beat DTD.
They do source their cars from the fleet side of sales generally, and my last 2 cars bought new (2 Polo GTI+) came from the fleet side of Listers VW Nuneaton. The first was properly through DTD, second time around I went direct to get DTD price and a free set of rubber mats.
I've just negotiated my latest car via them and they apparently gave me it at cost (presuming they have a sales tier market to meet), I can well believe it, as it's £426 under the DTD price.
Nothing as spicy as an R (used to have one),
We've gone electric for 1 car an ID3 204ps Life Pro Performance with Glacier white metallic plus the 18" alloy wheels (steel wheels were standard fit - yuck!). Official performance on par with a GTD, but they're apparently way understated on output/performance.
They've spent nowt on the interior mind, but the tech is good.
If you want to try your luck with them, speak to Anthony Rayner at Nuneaton branch, the guy I dealt with. Listers are a big group and have plenty of stock to allocate between the branches.
It was a bit confusing chasing numbers with him because he quoted "cost price" about £1300 more than DTD price and £1200 more than the price I'd seen on Autotrader. I told him the other prices included the £1750 deposit contribution and he finally twigged that his didn't. Once he took that into account, he was £426 under DTD and £492 under the autotrader price.
He grabbed me a general stock one yesterday that's built and sat at Emden.
If you're definitely going for a new car I'd chase tomorrow, early in the day to get the order sorted - there's a new pricelist due out on 1st April, and prices never go down or stay the same...
