Apprehensive ordering online? Don't be.

Having overcome my apprehension of order a car online, I was absolutely amazed at the professionalism of Drive The Deal.

From start to finish the service you receive is second to none. Have had a teat drive at our local main Kia dealer, we found they couldn't get anywhere near the deal Drive the deal offered, saving us over £4000 over the same 3 year period and with a deposit half of what the dealer required.

The car was ready to collect from the Kia main dealer 2 weeks later. That feller was brilliant. Took the time to set everything up for my wife and explained how it all worked. Happy wife, happy life. Brilliant service and excellent communication throughout. Thank you.

Not at all impressed .....

I have just put an enquiry through on D The Ds website for a brand new Audi SQ5 as offered / quoted on their website and then exchanged calls with their Sam ........ He was polite enough but unfortunately immediately said that normal deliveries on these cars was around 10 months and then straight away tried to persuade me into a car with an unacceptable spec ( especially when you are spending this kind of big money ) ....... We had already spoken to several Audi dealers who told us that a factory car to our chosen spec would be between 8 to 12 weeks at worse ........ So i assume from this that D The D are just set up to try and get rid of less desirable unwanted stock rather than do sensible deals on the cars that we want ......... Back to Carfile i guess ..... THE LATEST following D The D response ........ well i can only say how it felt when we spoke. I have spoken to several long trusted Audi dealers who did not try to push us in to stock cars and they were all equally clear about delivery on a factory order car. As for D The D telling us it would be 10 months delivery including 12 weeks shipping, that is ridiculous in this day and age unless its being dragged across the desert by donkeys. I regularly send and receive large industrial shipments door to door to and from Mexico in a few weeks and i am sure that Audi are much better resourced than we are to get the very best shipping service.

Hello Chris,

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that we were unable to offer a vehicle that met your exact requirements.
Factory order lead times for a brand new Audi SQ5 are currently quoted by Audi at between 6–10 months, depending on specification and production allocation. This includes approximately 12 weeks of shipping from Mexico, followed by further transport and processing time before arrival in the UK. We appreciate that this differs from the estimates you may have received elsewhere. Perhaps the dealers you have spoken to have unsold stock arriving that matches your chosen specification?

During your conversation with Sam, you were offered the closest available stock vehicle to your requested specification in an attempt to significantly reduce the waiting time, although we fully understand your preference for a panoramic sunroof. We also have access to alternative higher specification vehicles, although we did not go through these during the call, as they did not match your preferred colour choice.

We certainly are not focused solely on selling older or unwanted stock vehicles as suggested. We place hundreds of factory orders each year for customers wanting bespoke specifications, alongside offering in stock vehicles for those looking for quicker delivery.

We do appreciate your enquiry and hope you are able to secure the right SQ5 for your needs in a time frame that suits.

This is the way

By far the most positive experience I had whilst seeking a good price on the new car that I wanted. Drive the Deal provided the most competitive price I could find (and I looked hard and used some well known price comparison sites which I found wasted my time).
Advice and guidance and pricing from Drive the Deal was clear and concise. Zero BS and no hard sell. Suits me perfectly.
Simple transfer through to the dealers who then gave me excellent service in the run up to collection and on the day of collection.
Oh and the car (Skoda Elroq 60 SEL) is great too.
Drive the Deal will be the first place I look for my next new car (though hopefully not for a good few years yet).

Excellent service

From start to finish DTD dealt with my enquiry to my satisfaction. They were quick to respond to my request and put me directly in touch with the dealer who completed the purchase smoothly.

I will definitely consider them again for my next car.

Seamless Process

This is my 2nd purchase of a new car with DDD, saving hard earned money and getting identical treatment to anyone walking into a main dealership to deal directly is absolutely great. It is stress free, if you have done your research and select exactly the vehicle you want from the accurate and comprehensive DDD website they sort the negotiation with participating dealerships. Reason for discounts arise as factory targets have to be met production line interruptions are enormously expensive. Therefore manufacturers incentivize dealers to hit those targets this is why the deals are for exactly the same car as anyone purchasing a non discounted vehicle such as a walk in customer. The wait for your special order more often than not arrives weeks earlier than estimate and the vehicle is then guaranteed not from "stock" and has not been hanging around for weeks at a dealers compound the paint is barely dry its that new!!!!

New VW Golf Tdi

My first ever new car purchase, having bought used cars for decades, I did a lot of research on DriveTheDeal having made a few enquiries through their website and by phone. My experience was excellent, their staff were knowledgeable, friendly and professional.

I made a great saving on a new VW Golf Tdi. The whole process was prompt and easy, the factory order waiting times relayed were accurate. The VW franchise was also excellent in every way including free delivery. Thank you 🙏

Great experience

This is the second time we have used Drive the Deal to buy a car and both times the experience has been great.

Andrew was very proactive helping us buy the Audi we were looking for. The price was good and the Audi dealership provided excellent service. Overall, a great and stress-free experience. I would highly recommend.

Brilliant service from Drivethedeal

Brilliant service from Drivethedeal, wish I had found them sooner. Received a call from them a couple of days after my enquiry. Talked through the process and the quote provided from their dealer. More than happy for me to go away with the figures to have a think. They were also up front with the T&Cs as well as the area the dealer was based to ensure I was happy with the distance. The dealer I was put in contact with was also brilliant, very professional and routinely kept me updated with the progress of the order. Absolutely would use drivethedeal again

Excellent car buying experience.

Excellent car buying experience.
Very best prices, easy admin and order processing followed by excellent delivery by the VW dealer.

Having bought lots of cars both personally and professionally over too many years this was by far the easiest and most professional car purchase I have ever experienced.

Thank you Jim.

I have been subscribed to Drive the deal for a while and received a few quotes over the years. The quotes were always received in good time and followed up with excellent service and advice. They never pressured me. I finally found a car I was happy with which had a huge discount so went ahead and ordered. The service was seamless and stress free! Delivery was also included, a real bonus as I live over 300 miles from the dealer. The dealership were great and really helpful, talking me through everything and even sending demo videos. Very happy customer. would 100% recommend.
