Find the best discounted new car prices from official dealers

by Victoria McQuade

With 1,000's of new car prices on our system let MyCarQuotes.co.uk do the leg work and save you money

Most people would agree that the safest place to buy a new car is from a main dealership. However, most official dealerships do not openly advertise their best possible discounts; these are discretionary and vary dramatically across the country. www.MyCarQuotes.co.uk is a free service which can save you £1,000's off the recommended retail price of a new car. With MyCarQuotes all the time-consuming phone calls and visits to individual dealers to gather costs are avoided, as multiple prices from its network of authorised dealers can be compared instantly, online.

"Unsurprisingly in todays economic climate there are significant discounts to be found on new cars, but with around 5,500 dealers out there how do customers locate the best deal?" said Andrew Yell, Founder of MyCarQuotes.co.uk

With MyCarQuotes, real-time discounted dealer prices can be viewed on a wide range of popular new cars from manufacturers such as Toyota, Peugeot, Renault, Vauxhall, Hyundai, Fiat, Nissan , Volvo and Mercedes, and the savings can be huge. Recent* deals included: a Ford Ka available for under £5,000; a brand new Audi A3 discounted by £2,000 to £14,342; and at the top end of the market, a £13,830 saving for a new Volkswagen Touareg V10 Altitude, available at £45,000.

MyCarQuotes does not disclose the identity of the dealer until the customer enquiry is passed through to them, which encourages our network of official, franchised dealers to offer their best possible discounts on new cars. By visiting www.MyCarQuotes.co.uk, the consumer can immediately access and compare new car prices available nationwide. Research by search engine Google shows that 80% of people intending to buy a new car use the Internet to try and locate the best possible deal, because increasingly this is not necessary found at their local dealer. By opening up the market we enable consumers to not only save time and money but ultimately have more choice over the price they pay for a new car." Yell concluded.

Part-exchange is often a key factor for customers buying a new car. MyCarQuotes offers an additional online service which will make you an offer for your current vehicle; it is independent to, and in addition to any offer from the dealer supplying your discounted new car quote. This service is provided to help customers save as much money as possible, resulting in the lowest cost of change.

*Discounted deals change on a regular basis

  • About www.MyCarQuotes.co.uk

    MyCarQuotes is not a broker and it does not sell cars directly, it collates and compares the best discounted prices on new cars from its ever expanding national network of approved car dealerships and displays these prices directly to the consumer.

    If the quotes are of interest, MyCarQuotes will put the customer in-touch with the authorised dealer, although there is no obligation for the customer to purchase the vehicle. Before being put through to a dealer MyCarQuotes calls the customer to verify their details and to confirm that they wish to speak to the dealer who has provided the quote.

    MyCarQuotes charges dealers a small fee for each and every lead that is passed through to them.
