Default Car buyers site.

Has anyone seen or used this site to purchase a new car?

http://www.discountnewcars.com.au/

If so, how was the experience for you and how does it all work and piece together? I haven't read much into it at all.

Cheers.

jc
find the car you want with options then input your details and they get back to you within 24/48hrs with a dealer/s who wants to do business.I went thru the process and found the prices really good but ended up getting a better price via other methods but its worth trying.You may be happy and or surprised.
cheers

JC I have used the site but as a tool only. I knew what I wanted and the options I wanted so with the discounted price in mind I was able to take some more off when I visited a dealer.

I built a website just like this for a client years ago. We also found that most users were only using it for research to get the best deal, take it to the last step and then go to a dealer with a print out to try and get a better deal than the one through our site. Failed miserably.
