10 August 2006  Online customers save over 30 per cent
Around 420,000 motorists are expected to purchase a new car in September, according to recent figures, many of whom will also be looking for new motor insurance policies.

The report from moneysupermarekt.com shows that motorists who choose to buy their new vehicles online, instead of through a traditional high street dealer, could save as much as £7,500 on the cost of the car, as well as finding great deals on motor insurance.

Search figures show that the most popular car on moneysupermarket.com's website, the new Volkswagen Golf Hatchback, could be bought for £11,000 online, in comparison to its list price of £15,995.

Head of cars at moneysupermarket.com, John Sexton, said: "Buying online is really the best way to save money as many 'high-street' dealers often won't negotiate enough on new cars to reach a competitive price.

"As our research shows, in some cases you can expect to knock a staggering 38 per cent from the list price when searching online, saving you literally thousands on your dream car."

The Audi A4 is the car which shows the highest saving with consumers able to save £7,534 by shopping online, as its list price is £25,715 and its online price £18,181.
