Can I return a car I just bought?

cancel the cheque with your bank, so it will bounce...

Inform the seller you do not want the car and you canceled the payment. Sorted....

Also i think your crazy buying and paying for a car via cheque...As its best cash on the spot so that you can take the car away. Also why buy a car pay for it and not take it away. What if something happens to the car while in his care?

I only heard of the Fusion last night so hadn't had a chance to investigate them much before I saw this car today.

Bleeding awful car! Really, they are trully hateful little things!

Zaffy is probably too big for your needs. How about a Focus C Max? Or Honda Stream?

I've still got to try and hope I can get rid of the zafira first before I start looking for another kind. But it's nice to know some names of some if they have higher up seating. I might try and cancel the cheque and hope this garage dont try and sue me.

How is that sorted? You can't just cancel the OP has a contract with the garage and the only way to get out of it will be via negotiation with the dealer.

Stupid answer.

Sorry to say but you've signed and paid for it.

If they're a real company, ring them, do not email them. Speak to the sales person and listen to what they say. If they can help you they normally will, but not if you mess them about with emails and checking past adverts - anyone can make a typo, if you had a major concern over the advert/car you should have raised it before paying.

Please don't try to find an excuse to get out of an agreement between you and the seller. Be honest and up front.

As for the next time, take a friend, take a friend's husband, take anyone with you. a second opinion always counts, even if they know nothing about cars.

Good luck with the salesman, let us know how you get on ;o)

I'm not very tall (classed as petite lol), and went from an Astra, where I could see the bonnet, to a Zafira where I can't, you do get used to it, I'm not saying it didn't take me time, but you just have to get into your head they have the turning circle of the QE2! Do you know someone who owns one that you could sit behind the wheel and see how you get on?

Put parking sensors on it?

I don't know anyone that could go with me to look at a car. I guess this is why I'm in this mess. I emailed them last night and said I really didn't want it and could we replace it with another car, but so far not heard back.
The mileage thing was something else again. At the time, he made me feel like I had made the mistake on reading it on his site, and I had no way of checking this. (I had done 12 miles on the bus to go look at this car). He didn't offer to prove it. It was only later last night after I had emailed them and I was curious that I started looking and found that he had changed the mileage on his own site after I had been to his office. Their sister site still has it at the same old mileage, and on two other car selling sites its the old one. So it was on five sites with the old mileage, and I don't think that was an input in the compter typo.
I was worried about them not letting me cancel, so I wondered if the mileage thing might have helped me in making them keep the car, that's all.
I don't know anyone else that owns a zafira.

On the back of their invoice it says, that the goods remain their property until the car is paid in full. Where payment is made by cheque the goods remain their property until the cheque has cleared. The risk in the goods passes to me when I take delivery.


That's all I can find as regards paying for it. If I cancelled the cheque do you think this might work? I don't have the car as yet.
