Used Car Contract - Help!

Mike_Sthelens

Good evening guys,

Im in a bit of a pickle about a car we went to buy last week and need some advice.

We made a deal with the garage that the PX value on our car was £1500. This was around what we were quoted in a few other places, the car is a C cat (been in an accident in its past) . They called a few days later and said they had got it wrong and now as they have done the HPI the PX is only £750. All the docs etc say £1500. I said we cant afford this and to knock the deal on the head. That was that, not a peep out of them from last Weds.

Today, a call goes, we have your new car ready! After hours of arguing with them saying we told them we couldnt afford the deal at £750 PX, they are now playing nasty saying there is no cancellation and we cant back out.

We are going to see them in the morning. Any help and advice would be brill.

Thanks!

I'm no contract expert, but, if the contract says the part ex value was for £1500 and then they reduce it, they have broken the contract (not you)
You did not mention if you had paid a deposit...
If you did, since they broke the contract, you should be entitled to your deposit to be refunded too.

If you still want the car, tell them if they honour the terms of the contract (£1500 PX) then you are happy to go ahead
