^^^^ The brokers tend to use the fleet department generally though Steve so different discounts, dealer bonuses and more importantly allocation will apply.
Hence the generally low part ex prices with broker bought cars - you order from the fleet department to get the fleet bonuses but your car gets bought through the retail side just like a trade bought car so they won't pay much more than auction price unless they really want it.
There's only so much money in any one car deal and they're not going to waste a salesman's valuable time on an internet purchase via a broker.
When I ordered my GTI is wasn't too long after the order books opened and there were literally dozens of broker bought cars on here that arrived quicker than my retail purchased car despite me getting an order number and tracking number almost immediately. That comes down to allocation.
