Insider Car Deals

Thanks to The Telegraph today for highlighting the 'Discount Gap'. That's the difference between what dealer's typically say is their best discount offer and what is actually achievable. Currently it's an average of £1150 (£2250 on premium car models).

If you're buying a new car, that's money that should be in your pocket, and not the dealers.

At Insider Car Deals we close that gap and get you the new-car deal you deserve.

"EVs are too expensive."

We hear this all the time. So we ran the numbers for the Daily Mail.

10 EVs vs 10 petrol equivalents. Same brand, same size, same kit.

Result: the electric car was cheaper to buy in 7 out of 10 cases.

A VW ID.3 is £71/month less than a Golf.
A Ford Puma Gen-E is £25/month less than a petrol Puma.
An Audi Q6 e-tron is £181/month less than a Q5.

How? Bigger discounts on EVs, government grants, and much lower interest rates on finance.

The list price isn't what you pay. And right now, the deals on electric cars are better than most people realise.

If you're buying a new car — EV, petrol, diesel or hybrid — a Personal Deal Sheet from Insider Car Deals shows you the real discount you should be aiming for, before you set foot in a dealership.

More national press coverage today for Insider Car Deals in the Daily Express.

At Insider Car Deals, we track real-world new-car pricing across the UK, combining dealer discounts, manufacturer support and P*P finance incentives to show what a strong deal actually looks like.

Because without that benchmark, it’s very difficult to know whether a deal you've been offered is genuinely competitive — or more than you should be paying.

Get in touch if you're planning a new-car purchase. You can't afford not to.

Dealers can make any number feel right but if you do not know the one figure that matters you can lose thousands without noticing until it is too late.

Thanks to GB News today for highlighting the car pricing 'blind spot' that remains for new-car buyers.

Millions of pounds of discounts go begging every year because people don't know what's really achievable and dealers and automotive media platforms are in no rush to tell them.

Experts have called for greater transparency around pricing when buying a new car

📰 In today’s Daily Mail I’m sharing where the biggest new-car savings really are — using my real-world pricing data.

👀 Most of the “new-car discounts” you see online are not the best prices available. The headline incentives manufacturers promote are only part of the story. In practice, the prices most buyers see online often sit well above what’s genuinely achievable once real-world dealer discounting comes into play.

💷 That gap is where many buyers end up overpaying. It’s exactly what I’ve spent the last 20+ years analysing — and why Insider Car Deals exists: to show buyers what they should be paying before they commit.
