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.
