Automobile Brokers

[sharkbit]

Has anybody ever used an automobile broker to buy a new/used car?

My insurance company totaled my van after hitting a deer last week(there's a thread somewhere in this section) and we are starting to look and that possibility came up.

Just curious if they're worth it or not.
Thanks.

One of the advantages of using a broker is speed. This can be especially handy if you are in an accident and need to replace a car quickly.

The disadvantage is that the broker needs to be paid and you will end up doing the paying, one way or another.

In my opinion, a broker would be worth it only if you are looking for a specific car that is not too common. But if you are looking for a domestic car (or domestic like: Toyota, Nissan, Honda, etc) you might be better off querying several dealers in your area.

They are all hungry and they all have 2010s and 2011s that they are paying rent for. I would try them out.

Another option is to go through your Credit Union or bank and perhaps your insurance company to see if they have an Internet/fleet buying program. They are quick and cheaper than some brokers.

Good luck on it.

Shop at cars.com. Why pay a middle man for something you can do yourself?
