Shhh! We unveil dealer discounts before they do🤫

I’m just a guy with a Mac who’s spent years mastering the art of finding bargain used motors - and spotting the ones dealers are about to discount.

I’m not a dealer, agent, or affiliate, and you won’t catch me spamming your inbox with fake “LAST CHANCE” nonsense.

I’ve spent much of the last decade around the motor trade, but my real passion is using the internet, tech, and AI in clever ways to save time and money.

So no boring reviews. No recycled news. No pointless data dumps.

Just handpicked alerts for motors I believe are about to drop in price - plus the odd insider tip to help you save (or even make) money on your next car.

Every day, great used cars appear and vanish before most people even notice. If you’re not searching at the exact right moment, you’ll miss them - simple as that.

MMC makes sure you never miss out on that deal of a lifetime just because you’re busy living yours.

It all started when I grabbed a 9-month-old Audi worth £27,000 for just £20,000. I’d been tracking it, got a price-drop alert within five minutes, and jumped on it. Had I not been watching, it would’ve been gone.

That’s the goal - to give our members early alerts on potential deals so they can save thousands and skip the stress.

Because let’s be honest - car buying is one of the most expensive and stressful things we ever do. Nobody wants to spend 10, 12, or 18 hours a day hunting for cars (only a fool like me would do that!)

So we do the searching for you, while you get on with life - confident you’ll hear about the good stuff before everyone else.

A Secret Steal is simple - it’s your early alert for cars that are about to be discounted or open to negotiation before anyone else spots them.

Unlike airline tickets or gadgets, where discounts apply to thousands of identical items, used cars are one-offs. Wait for the price to drop publicly, and chances are the car’s already gone.

At MMC, we take a proactive approach - predicting which cars are likely to be discounted soon. These are vehicles dealers need to move fast.

We use advanced tech to monitor market trends, stock levels, and pricing patterns - but we don’t stop there. Real people also weigh up the details that matter: previous owners, colour, spec, warranty… all the real-world factors bots can’t fully understand.

By combining data and human instinct, we flag specific cars at specific dealerships that are primed for a deal.

That’s what makes a Secret Steal - getting you the heads-up before anyone else even knows there’s a bargain to be had.

Brute force, a few boring systems and a little bit of clever tech.

I've got very efficient at navigating online marketplaces, dealer websites, trends, market data and vast data lakes in order for me to make my predictions.

Quite frankly, I'm a bit of a nerd and have way too much time.

All of our Secret Steals come from car dealers - big and small. From main franchises and car supermarkets to small independents.

We don’t track private sales.

Why?

Because if you’re spending thousands on a car, you should have proper protection - and that only comes from buying through a dealer.

When you buy from a dealer, you’re covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which means:

• If a fault appears within 30 days, you can reject the car and get a full refund.

• If issues crop up within 6 months, the dealer must prove it was fault-free when sold.

• If you buy online or over the phone, you also get a 14-day cooling-off period.

That’s why we only track dealers - it gives you peace of mind and legal protection you simply don’t get from private sellers on Facebook or eBay.

Sure, extended warranties vary (some are barely worth the paper they’re printed on), but most dealers do provide a decent level of service and backup.

Private sellers? Different story entirely - and trust us, we’ve heard the horror stories. 😱

We're not affiliated with any car dealers or manufacturers.

We scour the web for motors with the very best chance of getting a deal and send them your way.

We're completely unbiased and not looking to make a sale.

Nope, certainly not. Vehicle brokers go against the very ethos of MMC.

Why? Because brokers are there to take a slice of the pie... and it's a pie you are paying for.

You see when a broker helps transact a sale as a middleman they normally take a commission or fee from the dealer that sells the motor to you.

So, you pay the dealer and the dealer pays the broker.

But here's the thing... if that broker is being paid £500, £1000 or even £2000 for the sale... then that's effectively how much you overpaid for the vehicle. 🤢

Remember we're on your side, we have nothing to sell you and take a commission from no one... we're here to shake things up a little!

Currently, free Limited members receive alerts from the following BIG 12 manufacturers:

Audi, BMW, Citroen, Fiat, Ford, Mercedes, Peugeot, Renault, Skoda, Vauxhall, VW and Volvo.

When we launch our upcoming Premium service, Premium members will also get access to all 32 brands that we cover.

Free Limited members receive alerts for hatchback & SUV vehicles.

These two body types are the big hitters on the market and account for approximately 80% of all used car sales.

When we launch our Premium service, Premium members will also get access to estates, coupes, cabriolets, MPVs and pick-ups for our weekly Secret Steal alerts.

Premium members will also be able to request a tailored report at a small additional charge and choose vehicles from any body type.

Free Limited members can choose to receive alerts in one of these 3 price bands:

- Up to £10,000

- £10,001 - £20,000

- £20,001 - £30,000

Our upcoming Premium members will also get access to all vehicles in their chosen body types up to £50,000.

This depends on how many insanely cheap motors we expect to be discounted very soon.

We don't take commissions for your clicks and are not affiliated with any motor manufacturers or dealers, so we'll only send you an alert when we think something special is about to happen.

Each email we send will focus on one of the 12 big brands and will include a number of vehicles for your chosen budget and vehicle type.

You'll have total control over the emails we send and you'll be able to pause, turn them off or unsubscribe as and when you wish.

Our free Limited membership has grown so quickly that we can no longer keep up with the sheer number of requests from members for tailored searches.

With that said, we do encourage our free members to reply to our alert emails with requests for specific vehicles they would like to see alerts for.

We read every request we receive and whilst we can't make any guarantees, we do our very best to assist... so keep an eye on your inbox and I'm sure a vehicle you'll like will come up sooner or later!

Upcoming Premium members, as part of their membership, will get personal email and WhatsApp access to Matt and will be able to make special requests for a tailored report for their specific vehicle type at a small additional charge.

A big part of the ethos behind MMC is how we lean into the unexpected choices that await on the other side of a Secret Steal.

This means that we send you email alerts on the best Steals & Deals we can find, which are based on the manufacturer, body type (e.g. SUV) and budget, making the motors we send you a surprise when they land in your inbox!

From a practical level, this allows us to manage the thousands of motors (and numerous options) more easily but more importantly it adds to the sense of fun, as our members get to see motors that they might not normally have considered.

It's also worth us mentioning that of course some makes and models are far rarer than others (due to supply and demand) which means we can't guarantee that Steals will be available for every combination of vehicle, colour, mileage, body type etc.

With that said, upcoming Premium members will also get personal WhatsApp access to Matt and can make a request for a tailored report for a very specific vehicle type for a small additional charge... just remember we are reliant on the market at any given time!

We scour for motors right across the UK and work on the basis that if a deal or discount is that good, then it's worth driving a few hours to get it.

Obviously, some urban parts of the country have far more stock availability than other more rural areas and this will be reflected in the Steals we find.

With that said, as part of our onboarding sequence we do ask our members where in the country they are located and we use this data to help refine our selections.

Upcoming Premium members will also get to filter by location from their WhatsApp channel.

No we don't... and for obvious reasons!

We would need a small large army to go out and check every vehicle that we find which of course would be hugely expensive, a logistical nightmare and very bad for the planet.

It's for this reason that we remind you in every communication that you should always carry out due diligence on any motor you're interested in and likewise the reputation of the dealer you intend to buy from.

We are not affiliated with any dealer or manufacturer and make no assurances about the quality, condition, ownership or reputation of any vehicle or dealer we notify you about.

MMC is an alert service. The motors, dealers, prices and all other elements of the buying process are your responsibility, not Matt's Motor Club.

If you need some assistance with a pre-purchase vehicle check (and don't have a knowledgeable friend who can assist), then check out the AA or RAC, both of which offer pre-purchase vehicle inspections.

Short answer: not always.

We don’t work hand in hand with any dealers; in fact, they have no idea that we’ve identified any of their cars as being ripe for a discount (that’s one of the reasons they’re called Secret Steals 😉).

Our data shows that roughly three in four Secret Steals drop in price within eight weeks, and many can be negotiated down even further once the dealer is feeling the pressure to sell.

Of course, not every dealer plays ball. Here’s why some don’t:

Low-budget cars (<£10k): Smaller independents usually stock these. They have thinner margins, less depreciation, and faster turnover, so there’s less room to negotiate.

ULEZ-compliant cars near cities: In London and other ULEZ areas, compliant cars are in huge demand, so dealers hold firm on price.

Luxury & niche cars: Supercars, classics, and high-end motors with limited supply rarely see price drops.

Small independents : Many operate on gut instinct. If the owner’s stubborn, that car could stay overpriced for a year. (We’ve seen it. Madness.)

Busy or old-school dealers: Some prefer to negotiate privately rather than update prices online. A polite call can often unlock a better deal.

So, no, not all dealers play ball. But most do eventually.

And when they do, our members are the first to know.

Nope. We only track used, pre-owned vehicles; anything that’s been registered and has at least one owner on the logbook.

That could mean a nearly-new pre-reg car with delivery miles or a solid 10-year-old motor with under 100k on the clock (that’s our cap).

When it comes to brand new cars, we’re what you might call prudent folk.

New cars are a necessary evil - necessary because without them, there’d be no used cars… but evil because they lose thousands the moment they leave the forecourt.

The truth? Cars are almost always a depreciating asset - some might even say a liability - and the biggest price drop happens before the first tank’s empty.

So, we let the big companies, fleets, and dopamine-chasers pay the price for that “new car smell.”

Our members? They’re smarter than that. 😎

In a word… no. This is an art, not a science.

Secret Steals are predictions - we use our own systems, data, and processes to flag cars most likely to be discounted soon. And while we get it right a lot, not every call comes good.

Different dealers play by different rules - franchises, car supermarkets, and independents all have their own pressures and quirks. Sometimes it even comes down to whether the sales manager got out of bed on the right side that morning.

That said, dealers all share the same headaches - cash flow, stock funding, overaged cars, turnaround times, and sales targets. Those are the patterns we track and base our predictions on.

To be totally transparent, a tiny fraction (less than 1.2%) of cars we flag actually go up in price - usually because of temporary market spikes or cheeky “price-drop” tactics where dealers bump prices up just to discount them later. 🤥

So no, not every Secret Steal lands perfectly. But the vast majority do - and when they do, our members are the first to know.

If a dealer hasn’t dropped the price online, it doesn’t mean they don’t want to sell - or that you can’t still land a cracking deal.

Many dealers are simply too busy to constantly update prices. Others rely on automated systems (which aren’t always accurate), or they have one used-car manager who might be busy, off sick, or down the pub. 🍺

Some dealers also have a policy of only discounting for serious buyers, not online browsers.

So, if a Secret Steal hasn’t been reduced publicly, don’t assume it’s gone cold. Quite the opposite - we flag these cars because all the signs suggest the dealer does need to sell. That knowledge puts you in a position of strength.

The key is to talk to the right person - not a sales exec, but someone with real authority:

-The Retail or Used Sales Manager

-Or, at smaller dealerships, the owner themselves.

They’re the ones who know what the car owes them, how long it’s been in stock, and whether similar new vehicles are coming in - all the levers that make a deal happen.

Don’t be fooled by the monthly figure dealers love to flash at you.

Sure, £399 a month for a nearly-new Merc looks tempting… but if that’s all you focus on, you could end up paying thousands more over the time you own the car.

Manufacturers have trained dealers to sell cars like mobile phone contracts - and it works. £399/month sounds way better than £45,000 outright, right?

But here’s the thing: cars aren’t phones. They’re 20 to 50 times more expensive, and the numbers behind them can be eye-watering.

Worse still, many sales execs barely explain what you’re actually signing up for - PCP, HP, lease, mileage limits, balloon payments… all the fine print that changes the true cost of ownership.

So please, never judge a car by its monthly price tag. Always look at the total cost of ownership.

That starts with one simple step - negotiating the purchase price.

And that’s exactly what we help you do. 🥳

Once you’ve locked in a great price, everything else becomes easier: part exchange, finance options, and yes - even your monthly payment (which you can negotiate too if your credit’s good).

End result?
You beat the system, keep more money in your pocket, and drive away smiling.

MMC is perfect for people who aren't in a rush to buy.

Why?...

If you don't have plans to purchase a car right now, but think you might want to purchase one sometime later, you'll get a better deal if you receive our Secret Steal alerts.

The fact is that every day we find new motors which we tell our members about, and of course, the more you receive, the better the chance you'll find a super deal on your next used motor!

Likewise, by monitoring the vehicles that we send you over a given time, you'll naturally see more and more gems pop up, and you'll 10x your chances of getting your next motor for ££££'s less.

In fact, it's for this very reason (and the fact that the average person takes between 6-8 weeks to buy a new car) that we provide our paid members with lengthy 6 & 12 month plans so they have more than enough time to find the perfect motor.

So unless you like paying full price on your next motor, sign up for a membership today and keep your eyes peeled for our Secret Steals.

Nope. We’re not pretending to be the miracle cure for used car buying.

The truth is, most people will carry on buying cars the same old way - browsing a few ads, visiting a dealer, getting swept up by a smooth-talking salesperson, and driving off with another overpriced HP deal they didn’t really plan for.

It’s a trap - and the industry knows it. Dealers are trained to sell with emotion because that’s where the profit lives.

At MMC, we’re shaking things up. We dig deeper, using data, tech, and a hefty dose of common sense to predict which cars are likely to be discounted or negotiable soon.

It’s an art, not a science, and sure - it takes a little effort from you too. You might track a car or negotiate with a dealer. Lazy people won’t bother.

But our members?

They’re different.

They’re smarter than the average bear, happy to play the longer game, and actually enjoy beating the system.

And guess what - they end up far richer (literally) because of it. 😉

In order to maintain our service and ensure that our members get the most from it, it's important for us to manage its growth and ensure that demand doesn't outstrip supply.

We currently cap our Limited membership to 10,000 members.

Our upcoming Premium membership will also be capped at much lower numbers to ensure that we provide the best possible service for our paid members.

As a free Limited member, you'll have the option to upgrade to a Premium member as and when membership becomes available. Once we reach capacity then you'll be able to join our waitlist which will give you priority access for when the doors open again.

As members leave and/or our capacity increases then we will re-open the doors as and when it's suitable to do so.

Whilst we aim to increase the number of members and help more people save money, we are mindful of the fact that there is a finite number of vehicles on the open market at any one time.

The only way to become a Premium member of MMC is to become a free Limited member first.

Once you're a Limited member then if there's availability, you'll be able to upgrade to Premium membership.

If Premium membership is at full capacity then you'll be able to join the waitlist which means you'll get priority notice of when the doors are next open.

I've been using this concept to purchase vehicles successfully for friends, colleagues and myself for nearly a decade now and in that time I've pretty much perfected the system in a way that provides pretty consistent results.

Over the last 18 months, the list has grown so quickly that I'm now assisted by a small and wonderful team of Secret Agents - all helping me dig through thousands of motors each month so that our members don't have to.

Thrilled to be of help!

If you're enjoying my Secret Steal alerts then I would love you to share Matt's Motor Club with your best friends. We're starting a savvy cheap motor revolution here!
