Automobile Brokers
 

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.

never a broker, I used craigslist. Im sure you're company can assist you more though, it's their recommendation

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.

Why was your Insurance Company driveing the Van?
:O:

And why did your insurance company wait until after they hit a deer?? Doesn't your Insurance company like deer??

:O::O:

Was it infact a Deer they hit?
Maybe someone walking down the road and they freaked?
:hmmm:
Now they want to pay hush Money?
;)

They like the deer meat. :O:

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