mis sold car

hello
i am looking for peoples views and advice re a situation i am current facing and how i should move forward with it.
i bought a new car recently (2 years ago) from a very well known car seller. At the time of purchase the sales man clarified, at my request, several times the cost i would be required to pay at the end of the 2 years if i decided to keep the car. i subsequently signed a contract which stated a figure £2000 higher than this. i did not notice at the time and he did not bring it to my attention.
i have since spoken with him and he has advised the figure he showed me, which i have a copy of, was for the same car but different fuel type. i am quite sure that a car salesman would have known that the figure he was quoting me was for a different type of car (e.g. petrol and not diesel) especially given i gave him plenty of time to notice this (e.g. by asking over and over again if the final figure was correct)? hope this makes sense.
i am left feeling mislead re this purchase and contract. :mad:
Do you think i have any options but to pay up or give the car back. please help!!

2 years ago is hardly recent.
You should have read the documents before you signed a contract.
Best just to move on to be honest.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
If you have documentary evidence of what he told you then you may be able to complain but otherwise I think the balance of probability will work against you.0
