The What Car? Target Price is the maximumyoushouldpayfor

your new car and is set by our team of mysteryshoppers.Every

day they haggle to see what discounts are available across the UK.

And all What Car?-approved dealers will at least match Target Price.

In a lot of cases, however, you can save even more by using our New Car

Buying service. Just head to whatcar.com/new-car-deals and select the car

you’re interested in, and dealers will compete for your business. It’s all done

through our website, so they won’t see your details until you’re ready.
