Can a Stealer do this to me???

It's at Allen Ford Swindon, but paid the deposit to Allen Ford Northampton and they were getting the car upto me here. They recon that the car was missing the VAT off the price on the internet.

Part of the consumer act states that when money changes hands that's when the price becomes firm, they can charge you a completely different price at the till than what's advertised on the shelf unless money changes hands over an agreed amount. Or at least that's what I've gathered from the "Invitation to treat" and "Offec and Acceptance" parts of the consumer protection act.

Avoid Allen Ford Full Stop!!!!!

Bent as fook the lot of them.. Missus got scummed, next door neighbour just went through a really bad experience with them... they have thousands of complaints against them...  If I need to expand on this with reasons, ask.

They are all dodgy as f4ck or they would have proper jobs, put them in the same league as estate agents now. Got me money back, sat in the office and said till you give me my deposit anyone that walks in I would tell them what a bunch of sharks they are, soon got the card machine out

My mom got her 307cc that way, marked down by £5k and she managed to argue it.

It is an old skool myth they have to sell it to you at price listed/marked up. In some cases they sell it before realising then it is too late but until money has changed hands they are well within their rights.

I think some folk are confused here - they don't have to sell the car at an advertised price but they do have to honour a contract that has already been acted on.

Money has exchanged hands - a deposit has been paid - I believe at that point the contract is agreed.

Agreed if papers have been signed by both parties, but like I said you can get your moneys worth else where!

Avoid all Stealers in Swindon, Simular happend to me a couple of weeks ago.

I went to swindon motor park, as they were advertising a Sharan tdi sport on a 51 plate for £2500
We agreed £2200 if they mot's & gave an oil change
I put £99 deposit

4 days later they called me & said that the MOT work needed was too expensive and could not sell me the car.

Or if i wanted the MOT work done, thay wanted another £1200

So I told them to get fckd and give me my £99 back.

Personally I think they knew they had another buyer to pay more

So i was peed off & bought the mk5 gti instead
