With UKCARBROKER you deal with a main dealer.
They just put you in contact with the dealer who is offering them that price. The dealer then pays them so you have little or no risk.
The deal should be attainable from most dealers if you go in at the right time.
My local Honda dealership was deserted when I went in for a service last week.
A friend of mine who works for a VW dealer says it is pretty dead this week. So maybe this month you can get a good deal.

Thanks for all your replys guys.

(Mrs Buscuit) I have looked at Hondas UK's web site they look a good company, but UK Car Broker are based in Deby, which is close to me so I feel I would have more peice of mind.

(uktrucks) You didn't have any problems dealing with UK Car Broker then, they delivered the car on time etc. What was the waiting time for your car?

Cheers
