I wonder how long this will run, even if it gets started?

Isn't this the business model for Drivethedeal and such like ? I note that these businesses have been around for many years and (I think) carry a good reputation. The discounts offered are often substantial too.

I haven't heard much of Drive the Deal lately and I wonder if there is room for another supplier in the sector of the market? We shall see.

"Consumers can purchase a refundable 'CarRush Coupon' (£99 to £199) to secure one of the sites' limited deal with discounts of up to 40%."

Sounds worryingly like an offshoot of "UK Courier Solutions Ltd"

Possibly, although this lot want '£99 to £199' upfront ('refundable').

they seem to want to tie it in with finance.

The Fiesta they have on their front page is offered at a £2560 saving. Drivethedeal currently have the same thing at at a £2604 saving. So they must be trying to compete on something other than price.

The duo behind this already run a car finance site. I imagine the plan is to sell car and finance as a package, if fact, I think that there may be more money in the finance arm.

In reality they are just another broker
