I found the whole thing a good, straightforward experience. After accepting the quote, the dealership sales chap phoned me and we spent about 3/4 hour going through the initial paperwork (he then emailed me those docs so I could check them over). For reasons I won't go into, I wanted the car delivered to an address which wasn't my residence; this wasn't a problem. After that we communicated mainly via email (my preference). Delivery time was an estimated 10-12 weeks (actually 10 weeks). Shortly before delivery I was sent a finance deal form and Direct Debit Mandate to print off, sign and return together with my driving licence. The sales chap later phoned to arrange what day I wanted the car delivered and confirm the delivery address. The evening before delivery the driver phoned to confirm final details and said he would arrive at 9:30am - which he did ! He returned my driving licence and we did some paperwork before he took me through the main car controls and features. Then, as previously agreed with the sales chap, I drove him to the nearest mainline station. Job done ! The price originally quoted was exactly what I paid: a £500 credit card deposit and the balance, just before delivery, via BACS.

This was the second new car we have bought through Drive the Deal and saved a few thousand pounds both times. My husband's car arrived by transporter to our home quite quickly after ordering. The Polo I wanted this year was in short supply so the dealership had to order from the factory. I was quoted a 3 month delivery date but it took 6 months. This was not Drive the Deal's fault but just be aware there may be a long delay if it cannot be sourced within the UK immediately.

My dealings with Drive The Deal were excellent from the outset, they were completely professional and the wholeprocess was seamless from start to finish, they put me in touch with the dealer and the service I received was 2nd to none,I was told that delivary would be 6- 8 weeks, it took 12 in the end, but this was because of a facelift to the car and was down to the manufacturer, I would not hesiate to recommend Drive The Deal to anybody in the market for a discounted new car,i researched my purchase over the course of a year and Drive The Deal were the best by far.

Fantastic service from Drive The Deal. Don't let their dated website put you off, they managed to get a better deal for me than any of the other web based car deal sites. This review would have got 5 stars if the Audi dealer had been better. While it's not really Drive The Deal's fault that I received lousy customer service from Audi I still felt that my overall experience has been tainted. Having said that the guys at Drive The Deal were great and managed to get the info from Audi which I couldn't get myself.

Did what it said on the box.
The price was 25% below list price, though this varies from car to car.
The dealer was fine. Kept me informed and delivery was in the week that I was originally given.
The car was delivered to my door with no problems.

We brought 2 vw golf ed30 from Drive the Deal and would buy again knowing all is well if you wont a good deal try them first. We drove them back to Devon and have not been let down with serviceing by local garages.

The money saved made this worthwhile.More information on the website would have been helpful for the customer though.
Such as that if you take dealer finance out you will have to go to the dealership in person to sign the paperwork.Also the free delivery will be someone driving your new motor to your home and not a transporter/trailer situation which not everyone will be expecting/happy with.Also as someone else stated some of the telephonists didnt win any charm school awards.

This is the first time I've bought a car in this way and was concerned about paying for it before I had it in my possession or at least seen it on the forecourt. All my concern came to nothing, the whole transaction ran like clockwork and the Audi dealership couldn't have been more helpful.
