Below are a tiny sample of Secret Steals showing the time taken for discounts to register after we first identified them - these examples are all without contact or negotiations with the dealer...
*Sample data was taken from a single tracking batch of 622 cars which were monitored over a 2 month spell between 24th May-24th July 2023. During this time 781 discounts were recorded ranging from £50 to £7910. 491 of the 622 cars (79%) were discounted and/or sold during this period. These results are typical but not guaranteed.

Why MMC is unlike everyone else...
Everything you need to know in a 5 minute read.
Over the last few years, the world has gone just a wee bit mad.
A pandemic.
Low emission zones.
A semiconductor crisis.
And an electric vehicle revolution.
Have all quite literally turned the motor industry upside down. š
Cars have been selling for silly prices.
Dealers have been filling their boots.
It's been a seller's market.
And consumers - that's people like you and me - have been right royally screwed.
But it doesn't end there does it?
Nope. We're all in the middle of a cost of living crisis...
Sky high fuel prices.
Mars-like interest rates.
Unprecedented consumer debt.
Car insurance renewals which are quite frankly... criminal.
It's enough to make your blood boil... and keep you up at night.
The truth is there's never been a more difficult time to run a car... let alone buy one.
Thatās why MMC exists - to rebalance the scales and give you, the buyer, the edge.
We help in 4 different ways...
1) Save you serious money on your next used car purchase. 2) Help you get a better motor for the same budget. 3) Save you endless hours of aimless searching. 4) Give you a safe space - free from sales pressure and manipulation.
Weāre here to help you, on whatās one of the biggest purchases of your life, in some of the most uncertain times weāve ever seen.
We do this by giving, you the buyer, a fighting chance of grabbing a deal... and trust us... there are genuine deals to be had.
But how do you spot them when you're scrolling through an ocean of vehicles online?
You just need a little creativity - and to know where to look.
That's where we step in...
We sort the wheat from the chaff.
By finding pre-owned used vehicles that dealers really need to sell that...
a) Are already heavily discounted, or
b) Are likely to be discounted very soon.
And knowing that? Itās a total game changer.
First, it lets you watch and wait - while everyone else searches aimlessly.
And...
Second, it puts you in the driving seat, armed with the knowledge that these are cars dealers are under real pressure to move.
And those are the very motors that lead to discounts, price drops, and salespeople who - brace yourself - are actually willing to negotiate. š¤Æ
It's called predictive pricing and the vehicles we find are affectionately known as Secret Steals.
As a free Limited Member, youāll get handpicked Secret Steals - tailored to your preferences - sent straight to your inbox as we find them.
Is MMC a silver bullet?
No. It's not for everyone.
If you tick any of these boxes, our Secret Steals probably arenāt for you:
ā Youāve got money to burn and only buy brand new. ā You love negotiating and think youāre Clarkson. ā You're happy to take the risk of buying privately. (gulp) ā Youāre after something ultra-rare or hyper-specific. ā Youāre in a mad rush to buy right now.
But...
✓ If youāre motivated by finding a genuine bargain. ✓ļø If you like the idea of getting a better spec motor fo your money. ✓ļø Youāre motivated by finding a genuine bargain. ✓ļø You want dealer backed peace of mind. ✓ļø You donāt trust a single word from a salesmanās mouth. ✓ļø Youāre done with scrolling endlessly through classifieds. ✓ļø You believe new cars are financial madness. ✓ļø Youāre open-minded, patient, and not a fan of haggling.
Then MMC will be your very best friend š¤
And unlike everyone else, we're completely impartial...
Because...
⤠We don't have any cars of our own to sell. ⤠We don't get kickbacks, commissions, or sneaky fees. ⤠We donāt take dealer ads or āpreferred partnerā money. ⤠We're not affiliated with any dealer - so you'll never get sales calls. (nice)
That means no bias, no bull, and no sales execs breathing down your neck.
And weāll do it all without the usual stuffiness, pomp, or pushy nonsense thatās so rife in the motor trade.
Weāre here to shake things up a bit.
If that ruffles a few feathers among the big players, so be it...
Weāre not here to stroke egos.
Our only goal?
To help you land a great deal on your next motor.
And to make the whole process quick, simple, and even (dare we say it)⦠fun.
Youāll get hands-on by tracking cars youāre interested in - ready for those price drops (weāll show you how).
Or, if something catches your eye, pick up the phone and negotiate directly - with a few insider tips from us.
Trust us... that feeling when the discount hits?
Pure joy. āŗļø
Are Secret Steals for me?
Maybe. Maybe not.
Secret Steals are the bedrock of MMC.
They take skill, experience, and a healthy dose of human intuition - because itās more art than science.
Every car we feature is hand-checked by real people. No bots. No guesswork. Just experience, instinct, and the details AI canāt see.
We work hard - but Secret Steals arenāt guarantees.
Theyāre educated predictions based on real-world signals.
You'll also have to do your part...
That means keeping an eye on the vehicles you like or reaching out to dealers when the timeās right.
(Or just go Premium, those lucky lot get monitoring included.)
If that sounds like too much hassle, this probably isnāt for you.
What we can promise is this:
If you follow the Secret Steals we send, use the simple strategies we share, and stick with it - youāll land an incredible result on your next car.
The choice is yours.
If it's a no - no hard feelings. I wish you peace and happy motoring.
If you're on the fence, check out our FAQs below.
But if you're "in" and are looking for a replacement car soon (or even sometime later) and you like the idea of saving some serious money and time -
Then join us.
It's free.
We're starting a savvy motor revolution here ā
Truly Independent & Unbiased
We don't have any vehicles to sell you.
We don't get a kickback, commission or fee from anyone.
We're not affiliated with any dealer so you won't be hassled by sales execs.
We don't accept dealer advertising and we have no preferred suppliers.
Our only incentive is helping you land a great deal on your next motor.
Iām just a guy with a Mac whoās spent years mastering the art of finding bargain used motors - and spotting the ones dealers are about to discount.
Iām not a dealer, agent, or affiliate, and you wonāt catch me spamming your inbox with fake āLAST CHANCEā nonsense.
Iāve 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.
Why would I use Matt's Motor Club?
Every day, great used cars appear and vanish before most people even notice. If youāre not searching at the exact right moment, youāll miss them - simple as that.
MMC makes sure you never miss out on that deal of a lifetime just because youāre busy living yours.
It all started when I grabbed a 9-month-old Audi worth Ā£27,000 for just Ā£20,000. Iād been tracking it, got a price-drop alert within five minutes, and jumped on it. Had I not been watching, it wouldāve been gone.
Thatās the goal - to give our members early alerts on potential deals so they can save thousands and skip the stress.
Because letās 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 youāll hear about the good stuff before everyone else.
What makes a Secret Steal?
A Secret Steal is simple - itās 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 carās 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 donāt stop there. Real people also weigh up the details that matter: previous owners, colour, spec, warranty⦠all the real-world factors bots canāt fully understand.
By combining data and human instinct, we flag specific cars at specific dealerships that are primed for a deal.
Thatās what makes a Secret Steal - getting you the heads-up before anyone else even knows thereās a bargain to be had.
How do you find the Secret Steals?
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.
Where do you find the Secret Steals?
All of our Secret Steals come from car dealers - big and small. From main franchises and car supermarkets to small independents.
We donāt track private sales.
Why?
Because if youāre 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, youāre 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.
Thatās why we only track dealers - it gives you peace of mind and legal protection you simply donāt get from private sellers on Facebook or eBay.
Sure, extended warranties vary (some are barely worth the paper theyāre printed on), but most dealers do provide a decent level of service and backup.
Private sellers? Different story entirely - and trust us, weāve heard the horror stories. š±
Which car dealers do you work with?
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.
Are you a vehicle broker?
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 Ā£500, Ā£1000 or even Ā£2000 for the sale... then that's effectively how much you overpaid for the vehicle. š¤¢
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!
Which motor manufacturers do you cover?
Currently, free Limited members receive alerts from the following BIG 12 manufacturers:
When we launch our upcoming Premium service, Premium members will also get access to all 32 brands that we cover.
Which body types do your 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.
Do you find motors for every budget?
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.
How many emails can I expect?
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.
Can you help me find a specific vehicle?
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.
Can you find any and every kind of car?
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!
Will the vehicles be located near me?
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.
Do you physically inspect every vehicle?
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.
Do all the dealers play ball?
Short answer: not always.
We donāt work hand in hand with any dealers; in fact, they have no idea that weāve identified any of their cars as being ripe for a discount (thatās one of the reasons theyāre called Secret Steals š).
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. Hereās why some donāt:
Low-budget cars (<Ā£10k): Smaller independents usually stock these. They have thinner margins, less depreciation, and faster turnover, so thereās 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 ownerās stubborn, that car could stay overpriced for a year. (Weāve 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.
Do you find cheap brand new cars as well?
Nope. We only track used, pre-owned vehicles; anything thatās 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 (thatās our cap).
When it comes to brand new cars, weāre what you might call prudent folk.
New cars are a necessary evil - necessary because without them, thereād 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 tankās empty.
So, we let the big companies, fleets, and dopamine-chasers pay the price for that ānew car smell.ā
Our members? Theyāre smarter than that. š
Do all of the Secret Steals come good?
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 āprice-dropā tactics where dealers bump prices up just to discount them later. š¤„
So no, not every Secret Steal lands perfectly. But the vast majority do - and when they do, our members are the first to know.
I've been monitoring a Secret Steal but it didn't get discounted?
If a dealer hasnāt dropped the price online, it doesnāt mean they donāt want to sell - or that you canāt still land a cracking deal.
Many dealers are simply too busy to constantly update prices. Others rely on automated systems (which arenāt always accurate), or they have one used-car manager who might be busy, off sick, or down the pub. šŗ
Some dealers also have a policy of only discounting for serious buyers, not online browsers.
So, if a Secret Steal hasnāt been reduced publicly, donāt assume itās 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.
Theyāre the ones who know what the car owes them, how long itās been in stock, and whether similar new vehicles are coming in - all the levers that make a deal happen.
I only care about my monthly payments - how can MMC still help me?
Donāt be fooled by the monthly figure dealers love to flash at you.
Sure, Ā£399 a month for a nearly-new Merc looks tempting⦠but if thatās 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 hereās the thing: cars arenāt phones. Theyāre 20 to 50 times more expensive, and the numbers behind them can be eye-watering.
Worse still, many sales execs barely explain what youāre 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 thatās exactly what we help you do. š„³
Once youāve 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 creditās good).
End result? You beat the system, keep more money in your pocket, and drive away smiling.
Why should I sign up? I'm not thinking of buying a car right now.
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.
So... have you reinvented the wheel, Matt?
Nope. Weāre 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 didnāt really plan for.
Itās a trap - and the industry knows it. Dealers are trained to sell with emotion because thatās where the profit lives.
At MMC, weāre 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.
Itās 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 wonāt bother.
But our members?
Theyāre different.
Theyāre 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. š
Will you be capping the number of members?
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.
How do I become a Premium member?
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.
Do you really do this all by yourself?
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.
Why do you do this anonymously?
Ok, so you noticed my avatar wasn't real! (Good spot)
I decided to build MMC anonymously for several reasons...
1) I'm not great with publicity.
2) I hate having my photo taken.
3) I like living my life quietly and without much of a fuss.
4) I would sooner my peers don't know as it might muddy relationships.
5) I have no intention of becoming the next Martin Lewis (top man by the way!).
So whilst you can't see me, I can confirm that my name is Matt and I am a real person who has a simple desire to help people.
Matt, I just purchased! How can I return the favour?
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!
