Where do i stand?

Options
As title i went to purchse a car a few days ago and the price had been agreed and the order forms filled in with a deposit payed.
Now my agreed price was around £9715, when i got home with my part of the order form which had Toyata's managers signature on the form as well as mine i had relised that the price on the form was around £2000 cheaper than the agreed price.
Question is now i belive that their is a law which they have to obyed by if the price was written down wrong but the thing is i cannot remember which one it is!
Also can they stop us from having the car even though the price was written down on the order form incorrectly by them and also signed by them?

Any help appreciated.

    Does the price on the form match the agreed price minus the deposit?

    Was there a trade in value to offset the price?

    Is this being bought on credit?
  • no the total price on the form was £7715 instead of the £9715.
    No trade value offset.
    No but the deposit was paid on a visa debit card
    The brest will be paid on visa debit although the contract was signed by their manager and by myself.

    And how much was the deposit you paid?
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

  • £200 although please note they have signed the contract and so have i and the contract does have the make and model and registration number. Also what is the name of the law that relates to this?
