Can a Stealer do this to me???
« on: 05 July 2011, 20:03 »
Put a deposit on a 59 plate fiesta Zetec on saturday at my local Ford dealers, had seen a fiesta at there swindon branch that the Mrs wanted. Anyway got a phone call tonight from the Manager saying they had got the price wrong and they won't sell it to me unless I give them another £500. Saw it advertised on Autotrader. Can they do this to me, he say's they do not have to sell it to me at that price if they don't want to. Should I go to Trading Standards?  :angry: :angry: :angry:

I think they don't have to sell it at the lower price, if they don't want to.

Will they give you your deposit back?

yes they can, but they will have to give your deposit back as they have changed the terms of the agreement

however... you can use this as a bargaining tool should you decide to buy something else off them for the inconvenience caused and because, if you find one there that you like, it 'won't be the one that you really wanted' will it?  :wink:

or else... get sh!tty with them and demand your money back and go and buy elsewhere

no, sorry... if they have changed the deal then you are entitled to your money back, if you want it, immediately.

If she really wants it then kick up a fuss with manager did you sign any papers stating the car is in your name as of yet?
I think there is a clause stating that if they sell you something at a price, with agreed terms, they are obligated to full fill the good faith of purchsing. The only issue is if you take the deposit back you have no leg to stand on afterwards as you have agreed to terminate the deal?
The only other option is to get the same value or spec for the same money if the car in question doesn't not exist anymore?
Free servicing
Free MOTS
Extended Warrenty
Full road TAX.
Try for these if they will agree?
