Many franchised dealers started to sell online after the coronavirus pandemic forced them to close their showrooms, with most of those adopting supermarket-style ‘click and collect’ services, but some also offering home delivery. What Car? has been reviewing cars for more than 45 years, plus we’ve long had a team of Target Price mystery shoppers, who haggle on your behalf so you know the maximum price you should pay. Buying directly from the manufacturer isn’t your only option, either.

Now that we’re all used to shopping online, it isn’t surprising that a growing number of manufacturers are enabling customers to buy a new car without setting foot in a showroom. Dacia, Hyundai, Land Rover, Peugeot, Nissan, Renault, Skoda, Tesla, Vauxhall and Volvo have all introduced this functionality to their websites, although some only allow you to choose from cars they have in stock or to buy on PCP finance. The onus is on the seller of the car to prove the fault wasn’t present when it was sold; if they can, and you’re likely to have known about it, you won’t get a refund.
