Dealers currently have no legal recourse in claiming back a "deposit contribution" or incentive. It's like you going into a shop and buying a Mars bar that's been reduced from 80p to 50p... the shopkeeper chose to sell it at that price and give the money to YOU, therefore they have no recourse to claim it back once the transaction has been made.finance products.
Good analogy - but perhaps a closer one would be walking in to a shop that has a BOGOF on Mars bars, then coming back later, saying 'I have changed my mind' and asking for your money back - but only returning one Mars bar on the basis the other one was 'free'! Not sure you would get very far with that one....
Not quite. BOGOF still equates to a total transaction price, not the fact one of them is free. If two mars bars were what you got for the total transaction cost, then you return two mars bars, not one. If you get one car for a total cost, then you return one car and get your cost back, or in this instance you pay the total transaction cost off.
Deposit contribution is a reduction in the total transaction cost, not a separate entity where you buy the car and get free cash.
