Car finance help - dealer trying it on or?

Have you asked about the lifetime warranty as you will not be the first owner ?

I'm seeing more and more of this from dealers, trying it on after the deal is agreed on. I had it done to me few weeks back, walked away from the deal but haven't seen anything as nice since grrr.

You're not wrong, I had a dealer ring me this week to tell me the car was actually £100 more than I'd agreed on and paid and can I send the money to him. I've had the car two weeks already!! Cheeky ****.

Cue my letter to the office of fair trading and dealership complaint department.

Are there any regulated guidelines on selling finance on a car ? or is it PPI in the waiting ?

This is also worthy of a complaint to the local Trading Standards - the ad is for a specific vehicle as indicated by the registration number. They cannot add on an amount for extras already on that car with that reg number, it is not acceptable.

Along with the mis-selling of diesel cars to low mileage drivers.

I'd still complian and make a fuss.

They cant charge for something that already been paid for. Thats a BIG no no!

Thats like selling an extended warranty when there is already one in place (which is one of the reasons Yes Car Credit got shut)

I'd push for a full tank of fuel

Why are you getting finance @ 10% when you know all ready you can get it at about 6.2% from Tesco Bank? Why are you paying a penny more than you absolutely need to to?

When you get to Birmingham and go pass Star City- beware, it known locally as "stab city".

Car looks good with those black wheels, enjoy it.

They wont settle it instantly. Just cancel the DD.
