    Glad you got it sorted and dont let Flyboy wind you up! You are probably best not dealing with the garage again.

    Who is the dealer

    Erm no have you.

    Dont know your age dont realy care but if reading wrong pages in books is something you do ,maybe some sort of check up may be in order ,you may have the early signs of dementia.

    There really is no need to be that rude. The pages of a Glass's Guide are not easy to read (less so the pages of CAP). Especially if they are being read by someone who is not used to using the guides. When was the last time you read a guide?
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

    One would hope that the employee of the garage might have been more used to reading such things than others.

    You think they had a choice to allow the option to withdraw?
    Gave them the option!
    They had the legal right to withdraw and get their money back. You make it sound as if the dealer was actually doing them a favour.

    He was given the options of either withdrawing the from the deal, or carrying on with the revised valuation. I'd imagine that if the dealer had really been trying to "rip him off," he would not have given him the choice at all.

    So, you have also come to the conclusion the dealer lied; without allowing for the possibility that they might have made a genuine made a mistake?

    Indeed, I agree, but it seems that the person who did so, might not have been sufficiently competent to do so; hence the mistake.

    And how do you propose the dealer could do that then?

    By trying to rip off the OP, I would have thought.

    How do you come to the conclusion that the poster you quoted came to the conclusion that the dealer lied?
