I SORNED my car after doing a scrappage deal. The dealer came and collected it on their trade plates when the new car was ready, no big deal.

Ah but Lorian, it may be a bigger deal for the OP.

His dealer is 50 miles [STRIKE]up the road[/STRIKE] away.

hindsight is a wonderful thing.

I could quite easily say as some are "you should have got it in writing"........I really cant think of many people that really would have done that - how about

"does the car come with floor mats"

"yes it will come with floor mats......now the mileage on this is low blah blah"...

<experts of mse> "sorry to interrupt you mid flow - can you just sign to confirm im getting the floor mats?

Thanks for the warning OP - and you are right, not only it is a sad time that we have to get literally EVERY promise in writing - but there are still people out there who would blame the victim [you] rather than the fact people are dishonest when they shouldnt be.

when I worked in the traffic warden section in Edinburgh people would say I`ve only been on this double line for 2 minutes,then they would tell me they have been in M& S changing something M& S is a good 10 minutes walk in both directions:rotfl:
