Was it just a word of mouth thing re the price or did it have that price on the car crossed through and then the new, reduced price quoted underneath?

Unless I've misunderstood the OP (rather than the hijacker) is comparing the price (£18k) of an ex-demo car with the salemans suggested price (£22k) of the equivalent brand new car

Thank you all for your responses.

I'm happy to report that I have reached a resolution and I have accepted compensation of £500, plus a Mini trolley case :rotfl:
The manager was apologetic and keen to keep my custom.

I may not have entered into sales negotiations had I have been told the true facts regarding the car's value, but at the end of the day I have got a car that I love and feel I can return to the dealership without any bad feeling.
