i purchased a vehicle for 4995. i part ex'd my car for 500 and agreed to pay 1300 deposit with 3195 for finance. i signed the form and the finance was put in place. when i went to pick up the car i signed my part ex over and the logbook for the new car. deal sealed. however, the salesman forgot to ask for the 1300 deposit and i had driven off in the new car when i realised. DO I HAVE TO PAY IF HE RINGS ME?? i will if i legally have to of course, just interested to know the law on this

Yes. Even if the dealer doesnt call you should go back and give them THEIR money.

What would you expect the garage to do if they charged you the £1,300 twice?

You would be squealing like a stuck pig to get your money back.

Give them theirs.

What is it with car delaers with week, this one forgets £1,300 the other day another one charged £1,000 instead of £10,000. I hope there cars are better than their financial control.

You have a point, I might start a business selling the elastic to car sales people so they can sew the top of the elastic to their label and run it down their sleeve with the other end attached to their gloves.

Maybe in the future I might also branch out into labels for their jackets with their names on

You would be found guilty of theft if this was reported to the police and they prosecuted you.

You have no defence! You know that you haven't paid the deposit, and the longer you leave it till you pay up, the more guilty you appear!

In addition to the above comments, no doubt the deposit amount is mentioned on the paperwork so there is this to consider unless you have additional proof that it has been paid which you obvioulsy don't. Easy for them to persue then me thinks.

2 car dealers " undercharging " in a week, how novel.

Get your facts right.

He would be found guilty without a conviction would he?

I think we all new what was meant without you having to comment.

I suppose you go round correcting spelling mistakes on forums too?

Like you think it is 'new' rather than 'knew' :rotfl:
