New group buying sites allow members to draw up their own shopping list

You can pit car dealers against one another at AutoeBid.com.
Post the highest price you are prepared to pay for the model you want, and leave it up to sellers to bid down the price to win your custom.
The price includes 12 months’ road tax, delivery, full warranty, break-down cover and VAT.
One buyer recently secured a £12,500 discount on a new Aston Martin DB9 Volante, paying £121,330.
While AutoeBid does not offer the exact Polo model, it has the Take Up! model for a maximum £7,659 and said customers will be able to make a minimum saving of £337 on this – so £7,322. However, this could go lower if companies bid competitively.
