It never hurts to ask.
However i don't think you will and for what its worth nor should you.
If you look at your T+C's which should of been supplied with a order form of some description. It will probably say something along the lines of: In the event of the purchaser cancelling we retain the right to recover any cost incurred out of the deposit.0 -
I know times are tough but I would expect a franchised dealer to refund the deposit without too much of a fight.
If they can justify that they are 'out of pocket' (rather than losing a profit opportunity) you may need to compromise and expect to contribute to their 'loss'.
Be firm but pleasant and you should get your money back.0 -
i wouldnt be too pis sed off if they kept it, thats the whole point of the deposit to stop people changing their minds!0
