Hi Robbieee,

I bought my TypeS 2.2D from DrivetheDeal and no Honda dealer could match it for discount.

The whole experience was super smooth, the car was delived on time and i would recommend it to anyone.
Just remember you don't get the dealer interaction that so many people seem to need, and there's no trade-in.

I've just entered details for a quote on DrivetheDeal, it came out a few hundred more than I paid at a dealer. I know I bought just over two months ago, have prices gone up considerably in that time.

I haggled with my dealer and got a price that no broker could match.

The broker could probably match - but then he would add his provision

You did not steal this car did you?

Ideally, i want to walk into a dealer with a print off of a broker deal and they will match it. We can always live in hope!!

Very nearly, the dealer did make a loss on the deal.

Are you sure that these cars are nt imports from other europern countries? What they sometimes do is to import these cars from say Greece, they are originally made here then exported to these countries, and imported back to britain. The brokers save money by not paying out on all the tax that we have here!

no dealer makes a loss. They make themselves out to make a loss but thats just sales crap.

Not true. They can lose on the sale price of a car but gain on the sales bonus from Honda for hitting targets. You just need to find the right dealer(one close to hitting his targets) and the right time ( a couple of days before the end of a sales quarter even better if it happens to be the end of the busiest month for registering new cars) be prepared to deal on the spot and hold your nerve.

I only got £200 off my CTR, the dealer would nt really do much as there was a 5 months waiting list.

We got ours from here it is just like buying a car new at a garage, all they do is refer you to a garage we had to go to nottingham to pick it up but well worth it we got nearly 2000 off the list price so we added a few extras. All done in just over 2 weeks too very professional company

Very strange that they quote a price without 17" alloys when they are standard anyway!!!
