Anyone used them? Their prices seem very good, maybe too good to be true?

I've made a couple of enquiries to them and so far they've been helpful and polite, so just wondering whether or not to trust them! :confused:

Steve

IMO dont, theres a lot of baffle about the company directors being banned to own a business, but they get round this some how

search previous post's on them you should find a lot of usefull information

Save up a little bit more for piece of mind

i did get some cheap prices from them too, they did hassle me a bit via email but other than that they seemed ok.. note I bought mine through a dealership, they got to within 200 quid of Micronet's price and i was guaranteed a 54 plate with correct lights and all extras.. I was just a bit dubious of Micronet's (or any other internet dealership's ) prices and whether they are pre-registered or not...

If your serious and you've got a favourite dealership, it's worth taking the quote along and bartering a bit to see what they'll get down to (note i got

If i remember correctly, the 2 men in charge of Micronet are disqualified from being company directors. To get around this, they apparently set up as a "partnership".

Personally, i wouldn't do business with anyone previously disqualified in such a way, no matter what their current record is.

Do a search on Google groups, you'll find some interesting stuff

I believe that they also require you to pay them, rather than other companies that merely act as brokers, and you pay the balance to the supplying dealer.

Yep, clear enough I think! The search continues... :coder:

So glad I didn't place my order with them!

TBH I could have got my fabia cheaper, by maybe

Yep, true certainly. Cheapest isn't always the best value in the longer term...

I disagree slighly... i class buying from micronet 'taking a chance', but i bought from tins.co.uk, they were extreamley helpfull and deliverd the car exactly where and when I wanted, and took the money out on the date promised. The car was faultless and so was the company. I went down to my local dealer and had a good chat with the guy about servicing etc and came away very pleased.

So i have faith in internet companies with a good reputation like tins.co.uk and drivethedeal.com and I also saved myself a lot of money

I would buy from tins aswell. I work at a printers, and for 12 months we had the contract to print all the stationery for Pendragon PLC. (Tins are part of Pendragon) I was amazed at the dealers we were printing for all over the country. We were printing Porsche one day to Mercedes, Rover, Ford, Jaguar, Harley Davidson etc. etc.

I think they must be one of the largest motor groups in the uk.

You misunderstood slightly, I was referring directly to Micronet, not internet companies in general. I've been looking seriously at Tins and DrivetheDeal and may well use one of them.

I don't have a problem using any company, as long as I can get some positive remarks about them. So the above two pass, but not Micronet.

The best use for prices from Micronet is as a bargaining tool with the dealerships, I reckon. I don't trust them for the following reasons:

1. They told me they would have no problem getting me a vRS fabia in graphite grey - a colour it doesn't come in...

2. They said they could get it for

Will tins.co.uk budge on price or are they fixed at 11,300, I want to get a few options in for around the 11k mark but no one seems to touch them and I have heard of people on here getting them for 11k fully loaded.

Doubt they will budge... Its such a good price now and there selling so many they do not need to deduct any further, unfortunatly :(
