I had taken a leap of faith and ordered a new Toyota Verso through them, saving £3k off the list price. Two weeks after signing up and paying my deposit, they contacted me to say the manufacturer had provided them with the wrong price plan and they had to add £1k to my order price. Alternatively they offered me a full refund. The revised price was the same as that quoted by my local dealership so I decided to go with them instead, as I thought they might be more reliable. The deposit was... (read more)

I've just taken delivery of my Wife's new Corsa and I very pleased indeed. Like a lot of reviews,you have to take a leap of faith in paying the deposit and the balance before ever seeing the car.

I have used Drive the deal successfully before but their price was more everytime I checked so as most of the reviews were good I bit the bullet.

I, like many, was a little sceptical about buying a car over the internet. I purchase many things over the web but nothing that remotely gets close to the amount of money a new car involves. After the value of the savings Buyacar were quoting, the value of a new car from them was actually lower than what the local dealerships were quoting for an older model with 30,000 miles on the clock! It was this level of savings and the fact that the firm has been around a while that made me take the... (read more)

I was a little sceptical when I first explored the possibility of buying a car online. Having looked through a number of websites I was drawn to Buyacar due to the reviews which I read with such positive feedback. I was not disappointed from the start of the process.

Many thanks.

I have had the car now since 15th Jan, but I have not received the V5 yet. I did phone up Bayacar to inquire of the V5, I was advised that DVLA take up to 6 weeks to issue. According to the Bayacar blurb, I should be listed as the first reg keeper. Until the V5 turns up, I can not confirm.

Hi no, i took a chance on that, I did not have a trade in, so unless the delivery people had two forms of transport I guessed it would be delivered by low loader.

One bit of advice then, if you are far from a fuel garage. Your new car when delivered to you will have NO fuel in it, so advise you have a can of fuel at home, unless you have a fuel garage very very near by.
