Sale Price Change - Deposit

There was no misrepresentation. That was the price on the day, and you even negotiated a better deal.

Apologies for the lack of information in my original post...
My query re misrepresentation was that I was induced into entering into a contract (i.e. the deposit), by the fact that the literature stated that the price after the sale (i.e. after the end of last Bank Holiday weekend) would double, which was not the case, as the current price states 'A further 15% discount on the sale price', which indicates that the sale was extended, contrary to the literature.

Have you even asked them if they will give you the difference back?

Yes, the reply was that the price had already been discounted more than 15% (but I only agreed to the £1485, as this included the 5 year guarantee/cover) and the best price any other branch would offer was £1449 without the cover.

Well there you go then. You are getting a better offer than what is currently on offer.

I'm very disappointed - I thought I would encounter someone with some legal knowledge, as opposed to just an opinion. Not one reply has got close to an answer!

Either this forum is a waste of space, or else you must all just be retailers protecting each other's dealings..!

And no, I'm not annoyed because I didn't get the answer I want; I'm annoyed because I didn't get an answer one way or another!

Pointless, pointless, pointless ...

No you are not legally allowed to cancel the contract without penalty, is that the answer you needed?

But you can't secure the funds to buy it anyway so what difference does the price make?

I do have the legal knowledge (having studied Retail and Contract Law in detail)

So here you go, to finally answer your question, from a legal point of view:

You have no legal right to get them to honour the new price. You were offered the goods, along with an incentive to make the deal more appealing. You accepted said deal (and I'm presuming then signed a contract/sales invoice to confirm this) and you obviously checked the terms and conditions of this.

Contract formed.

You now have the legal right to pay for said goods, or if you want to default on the deal. Lose your deposit, along with any additional charges expressed in the terms and conditions.
