Huge Savings!
Recently purchased a Seat Arona from Drive the Deal. The service was outstanding- quick, smooth and very efficient. The dealer they put me in contact with was equally as helpful and happy to answer questions I had. Saved a massive £6000 off list price- my local dealer could not match this! Will definitely use Drive the Deal again!

Cancelled Deal
I arranged on New Year’s Eve to buy an A class Mercedes at a good price. I had a finance quote and paid £500 deposit and was told my next contact would be with the dealer.
9 0 ‘clock on the 2nd January, I get a phone call saying the car has increased in price and so has the APR.
Not so much as drive the Deal, I think . Very disappointed at we thought we had a deal

Excellent Service
Directed to their website by the “Honest John “ website whilst researching online new car discounts. I’m always aware of fake websites etc.and was keen to know more before committing. Easy to speak to them. Very professional explanation of how they work & confirmation of the approx.£6k discount they were offering for the Seat Ateca I was wanting. Placed my deposit and within a few days the paperwork arrived followed by contact from the supplying dealer. Car was delivered 3 months later by a very professional driver who had obviously taken car of my brand new car on its 100 mile journey.
Overall a good experience and would thoroughly recommend DtD to anyone. A good way to purchase a new car at the best possible price.

Mercedes B Class
After much investigation I decided to buy a Mercedes B class as I thought it was the most suitable car for our lifestyle. After research and reading about DriveTheDeal I contacted them through their website. They explained very clearly how they operate. I ordered the car and DtD told me where they would point me as far as the dealership was. Paid them a £500 deposit (this was a Friday) and on the Monday I received a phone call from the dealer who would be supplying the vehicle. Once again , everything was clearly explained. we agreed September delivery and the car was delivered in the first week of September . Highly delighted

Good All The Way
I think that the discount ended up being GBP6k odd. I have used DTD twice now and been happy both times. They take a lot of the hassle and BS out of buying the car. They give you an appx delivery date, you can choose to pick the car up from the dealer or have them deliver it ( driven not flatbed). These are new cars not pre reg. Very happy with it and cannot see why you would waste time and money going into a dealer.

Excellent
Very good, I've used them many times over the years.
I saved £7k on my latest purchase.
The downside is their dealer network does seem to be flung to all parts of the UK meaning you'll have to travel quite a distance on collection day.
But a day's worth of pain is worth it when you're saving so much.

Can't Thank These Guys Enough
Can't thank these guys enough. They got me a great deal on my car. Saved me almost £9k off retail price. Their service and communication was very good. The whole transaction was straight forward and the car was delivered to my house. Will definitely be using them again for our next car. Thank you!

Do Not Hesitate When Buying New
As a first time user I was a bit nervous but it was a perfect experience and one I would recommend to anyone buying a new car. I even cancelled my original order with no fuss and both Drivethedeal and the dealer made everything easy to transfer all details to the new car. Pleasure to deal with, I will definitely use this service again. I collected my brand new car as any other deal but I got a huge saving as a bonus. Car was NOT pre registered, was on correct plates and I have all the options (e.g. service packages) as if buying from a dealer.
No there is only one Drivethedeal. Do NOT accept any pre registered car. Dtd advise this immediately. You need to go through the website, there is no tele sales. Registration is free and there is no commitment after getting a quote online. If you want to proceed further acceot the quote and dtd will contact you. Its simple from there and my contact put me in comms with a VW dealer. Dont be fooled by other websites especially ones asking for commission. Dtd never got a penny from me, they get it from the dealer you agree the sale with.
Are there more than one DTD companies? I contacted one today and they said my deal would be directly with them rather than with uk dealer and that i would pay a small commission. The car was pre-registered. Thanks

The Best Way To Drive A Bargain!
I was suspicious at first because the prices offered seemed too good to be true. However, having checked out the company and found they had a good reputation, I ordered a new VW from them. The price was unbelievable - but true! Their service and communication was excellent and everything went without a hitch. Highly recommended.

Hassle Free Purchase Experience
Just bought a new car via Drive the Deal. A very professional company who went out of their way to accommodate my requirements.
Apart from the significant saving on the new car, they also took the hassle out of the purchase process.
I have nothing but praise for the team at Drive the Deal and would have no hesitation in recommending them!
Q&A
Does it work ?
I bought an Audi TT and saved several thousand. No problems at all with the transaction. Would use again and recommend highly. Your contract is with Audi or the dealership so you are protected. They were also very informative.
What happens if price of car goes down before delivery?
I dont suppose that will happen often, but in my case my initial enquiry/order was placed just days before VW introduced a discount campaign on my particular model. And yes they did reduce the price further, improving the deal.
i have used them twice before and have found them very helpful on initial enquiry/ order placement.
once I have been contacted by the supplying dealer, this has been totally hassle free also and any changes in spec on my order have been sorted with appropriate discount.
PS Your contact at supplying dealer tends to be the fleet/corporate person rather than retail sales person.

Do I have to take out finance to pay for a new vehicle with them or any dealer? Or can I pay in cash?
This depends on the dealer but in my case I was given the option of having VW PCP or HP or a straight cash purchase. Dont think DTD do any finance..
They juggled around the PCP also to minimise Interest on a previous purchase (Wifes Polo)
in the end I got offered a better HP from another Finance source but Dealer didn't bat an eyelid about this and sorted it all out for me with a couple of e-mails so all complete a day before collection.

If you get PCP finance from DTD, at the end of the agreed term do you have to return the car to the original dealer that supplied the car (that is several miles away from me) or can I return it to another main dealer?
Drive the deal only broker the deal. I paid my deposit and sorted the Ford finance through the specified Ford dealer. Don't hesitate unless you get a better price elsewhere. The Ford finance came with a £2000 deposit incentive on top of the discounted price.
Do Drive The Deal only do factory orders or can they supply new cars from stock?
Ive purchased 2 vehicles from Drive the Deal. The first was already in stock at a Drive the Deal dealer and arrived in a couple of weeks. The second was factory built to my order and took about 10 weeks to arrive. They are a brilliant company to deal with and I would not hesitate to use them again.
No pushy sales folk pretending to be your new best mate. They simply quote usually the best discounted rate going and then once agreed, you then deal with the dealer direct.
After purchase of new car via DTD. What is the position regarding servicing/warranty on the car? If the car develops a fault, does it have to go back to supplying dealer to be rectified which may be several miles from where I live?
Or can the car for example be serviced by a local dealer?
I purchased a seat ibiza through drive the deal. Because they used a seat dealer to source the car, I was able to take it to any seat dealer for service and warranty repairs.
I am about to place the order and I am anxious,Especially when reading the dealer is confidential, it feels like I am paying people money that I don't really who they are! Could anyone please kindly tell me after placing the order, will the dealers provide frequent update about the car? Such as it has been dispatched etc. Also I read that the dealer will road drive the car to customer, what is the mileage normally shown then? I dont want to have a new car with 1,000 miles shown already. Thank you so much for your help in advance.
Dont worry....no money changes hand until literally the day the car arrives. Shortly after agreeing the deal, the dealer then contacts you direct and then you can check them out. I did and found them to be a very large Ford Dealer, although you are asked not to name them publicily...so I will honour this.
The dealer i dealt with then regularly updated me on my factory built car and its progress.
Can you still buy a car if you are retired and a homeowner?
I don't see a problem. You are simply buying a car from a dealerships where Drive the deal have found you their best price. If you accept the price you then deal with the dealership after that, i.e the money for the car is transferred and the the car is bought.
