Good Points
Buyacar staff and website are excellent. They gave good and truthful advice, and as I was nervous spending so much money on the internet, I tracked them as a company for 12 months, kept checking reviews, checked with trading standards and did everything I could to make sure I wasn't going to be ripped off.

The car is fantastic too, but that's down to Ford :-)

Bad Points
As long as you know what you are getting into, and understand the process, no bad points what so ever. And if you don't understand, you shouldn't be buying a car in the internet anyway really!

General Comments
Buyacar are a web based company that use their purchasing power to buy new cars from dealers, and then sell them on to us public for a realy good price. The downside of this is that Buyacar must register your new car in their name originally, so even though you have a brand new car, you come on the log book as a second owner. They also "look after" your log book for you for six months, so you don't then just sell the car on for a profit.

I ordered a brand new Ford Fiesta Titanium, with loads of extra's, so the final bill was £13,700, which was total of £2739 less than list price, and about £1000 cheaper than anywhere else I could negotiate. So if you plan to keep the car a while, like I do (5+ years), the fact that I am the second owner doesn't worry me.

(please note, the Fiesta was a new car at this time, so there were not many really deep discounts from anywhere, and no second hand ones that met my requirements)
