KTASTRPHE Member 82 Member For: 18y 8m 1d Location: Perthoslavakia Posted 16/08/07 12:52 PM Share Posted 16/08/07 12:52 PM Hey Guys,Im in the market for a new (used) car soon and Ive been reading about car brokers on the internet. Basically they do all the talking with the dealers etc, organising the best deal for your trade in and getting the best price on the car you want. Of course all the testimonials say they are fantastic, but has anyone ever had dealings with them in real life?cheersKurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car broker I use is a friend of the family so probably looks after me better than other car brokers would. But basically does all the running around I just got to sign on the dotted line and that's it. Usually can save a a couple of grand off the price.

Waste of time in the end.....as when you're an annoying *beep* such as myself you'll usually get a better deal in person anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at a few cars and see what I can get them for, and then see what the broker can do for me. Thanks guys,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dealer couldnt match the price, but got close enough for me to be satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboDewd FG Falcon fan! Member 1,452 Member For: 21y 4m 23d Gender: Male Location: Canberra Posted 20/08/07 06:10 AM Share Posted 20/08/07 06:10 AM near the end of 2003 the most I could seem to bargain off the RRP was about 2000. I went thru a carbroker and got 4000 off. happy with the result.I cant remember which broker I went thru.it was either Private Fleet or Fleet CapitalI also believe carbroker.com.au is worth a look.Car was delivered to Canberra from Sydney, no dramas.followed by massive boners...luckily I had a greek girlfriend at the time with big ones who liked it and I was able to quench my unsatisfiable man-urges post Falcon purchase at my leisure.$4000 extra worth of Mars Bars is nothing to sneeze at.

So shop around for the car instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
