Did anyone order through broadspeed etc?

If so how did it go? Simple enough with no problems? Does the car get delivered to your local dealer?

Basically brokers have dealers they deal with. They put you in touch with the dealer after you order and you deal direct with the dealer. This dealer could be anywere in the country its unlikley to be your local one. Most of them do offer a delivery service to your door. They are normally cheaper as you endup dealing with the Fleet side of the dealer rather than the salesman in the showroom.

Ok cheers, that makes sense!

I think the cheap dealers must be running out of stock, the prices I'm getting now are £1,500 more expensive  :shocked:

Keep an eye out on the delivery date time scale as when i ordered mine back in August broadspeed had a huge delivery time it was something like March! So i went elsewere.

PS
Also keep an eye out in the small print for any fees that need paying alot of the brokers simply take there fee from the dealer to keep things simple but some charge it direct to you, some are more upfront about this than others.
