The why choose a car broker topic is interesting but the article was very lame. There was no mention of the car that the writer was interested in, how she went about finding a broker, what did she look for in a broker, and finally the cost.

Also the part about the Privacy was really hard to believe. I've purchased over a dozen new cars at a variety of dealerships and have never once had a person discuss my finances "in the middle of a dealer showroom for all to hear" as the writer claims. Interesting topic but next time get someone who can actually write.

As an amateur car buyer I think finding a car broker may be a good idea. On the other hand, finding a car dealership and salesman that you can trust is almost important as finding a trustworthy auto repair service. Thanks for your post.

It really depends on the car broker, if you don't find someone trustworthy you'll end up spending more money on auto repair than you'll get selling the things. If you just looking for one car, do your own research and find it, a broker will rarely have exactly what you want for a good price.
