A new website, www.cardealscompared.com, will be launched in January to help consumers match their needs to deals being offered by manufacturers and franchised dealers.

The site allows users to bring up specific results for manufacturer, vehicle type and budget.

Yeomans Online Media created it after finding people who wanted to broaden their searches to other areas were using its website www.localcarsearch.co.uk.

Managing partner Tony Yeomans said: “It became clear people searched on a budget rather than a car.”

The company gathers data by trawling manufacturers’ and dealers’ websites. It is in talks with dealers to receive the information directly.
