They haven't provided a break down but they have said that the costs are:
cancellation fee,
storage fee,
loss of sale
re-advertising
preperation
administration
sale persons commission
totalling £763.47
I know for a fact that the car stayed on Auto Trader, their forecourt and on their website
Ask them to prove it by showing invoices for these items.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 mark0 -

Re-advertising / admin sound somewhat legitimate. I would suggest £100 at best as I did in your other thread. Cancellation fee is just made up.
They would not get half of them costs to stand up in court.
I have a feeling that any District Judge will see these charges for what they really are and award nothing to them and order them to repay the OP's whole deposit, plus costsThe 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 mark0 -

Why don't you give them a call and ask them to contribute, to put their side of the story; that will be interesting.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 mark0 -

My thoughts entirely, they'd be lucky to get their £100 of genuine costs for being a bunch of chancers!Thinking critically since 1996....0 -

I have written to them and they replied with the list of things they had paid out for. I have tried calling them and speaking to management, but they 'only pop in every now and again' and the salesmen are a bunch of nasty, condesending and rude people.
If I could have done this by speaking to them in the first place I would, as it would have been a hell of a lot easier!0
