Can you buy company cars from a broker?
If buying company cars, do you recommend the use of a broker. Are there some brokers that specialise in company rather than private cars; any that you would recommend?

The value of car brokers to private buyers is that they can channel sufficient orders through a single dealer for that dealer to obtain volume discounts that are then passed onto individual buyers.
If you are buying a fleet you are already in a negotiating position, but it depends on the size of the fleet. Big fleet, adopt a single make policy and negotiate your own big discounts through the same dealer.
Small fleet, use a broker such as www.drivethedeal.com/ Or consider leasing because the lessor will channel large orders through dealers and get the volume discounts. Try www.dsgauto.com
