Loopy Lupo Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 has anyone on here actually used places like 'drive the deal' or 'motorlogix' before. they are brokers who source the car from the cheapest uk dealer, therefore uk car, uk spec, uk warranty - just the same as popping to your dealer except they seem to offer fantastic discounts! if you have, or if you know of someone who has used them i would appreciate hearing about it.cheers, (this is fairly urgent btm!) :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twisty b-road Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 When I bought mine I had a quote from an importer, and a loan quote from an online loan broker (can't remember which) with a total monthly of £290I walked away with an official VW car for £299 a month, and they made most of that up by giving me a good trade in on the old LupoThought £360 over 3 years was worth it for an official car with the 3rd years warrantySome imports/brokers only have the minimum EU 2 year warranty and don't have the 3rd year dealer warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopy Lupo Posted October 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 cheers guys - yes it is a loop gti i'm after, for peanuts if possible - and i'd prefer a new one if i can get the right deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loopy Lupo Posted October 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 sounds good delvard....problem i've got is i have a beetle tdi which i still owe 10 k on, looking at trade price i'm in a bit of negative equity if i want to change now, as a trade in will not clear what i owe...bummer! if a dealer offered say 10,500 (unlikely) then i'd be well away.....need to think of a plan of action. when you say you got a spectacular deal what are we talking about? i've seem motorlogix will supply brand new gti from uk dealer for 11,600....which i imagine would take some beating!

simonfoster Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 I used the following company to purchase a Polo Twist for my girl. Full UK car, you deal with Derby VW after the initial contact is made. It works by them telling the dealer they will forward X amount of customers there way, so what discount will they offer them to get the cusomers. http://www.broker4cars.co.uk/vw/`vw-lupo`.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopy Lupo Posted October 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 hi simon! cheers for that mate, i've put me details in and am waiting for them to contact me. good news is that they can supply brand new Loop for 11,175!! bad news is i've been on bug website today and a dealer chap on there reckons he'd only give 9,000 for my bug (not bad is it, 4,500 depreciation in 12 months!!!!) whcih lands me in a negative equity situation to the tune of 1,000. crap! will wait and see what brokers4cars come back to me and say (or the vw dealer). it's looking a bit ropey at the moment! :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beer monsta Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 What wheels you got on the NB, might be interested in them and that could help offset some of the cost....Drop me a line chris at woofdoggy dot net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
