I've recently used Drive The Deal and Carwow to get some quotes for a Golf R.With Carwow you get direct correspondence from dealers, they send you their best quote and get can get in touch with them via a message service if you need more info such as finance quotes.With DTD you can request a finance quote through there website, they will only ring you with a quote, so it's not as user friendly but they are usually the cheapest.For my R, DTD give a 12.5% discount while the cheapest Carwow dealer was nearer 10%.Fortunately the fleet man at my local dealer matched DTD price, I doubt I would have got the same level of discount without the prices I got from the brokers.
