They just act as a broker between you and a normal dealer. The dealer will supply the car at the agreed price but you need to negotiate with the dealer a value for your part-ex. Obviously the dealer will try and recover some margin with the part-ex value.

I used orange wheels as leverage when buying my car. Showed them a quote I had on a new car and said will you match it. They matched the quote straight away. But wouldn't reduce it any more or throw anything in for free.

A lot of people use these sites

From my research, drive the deal appear to have a good reputation (though ultimately it's the dealer sitting behind the deal that matters). DTD also seemed to offer the best price vs orange wheels and car wow. My local dealer agreed the match the DTD discount on a golf R (approx 9%) or scirocco R (13%) without a quibble, regardless of the transaction type eg payment plan or cash.
