    ITYM it shows that there are honest and reputable traders who will give goodwill gestures way in advance of their statutory duties.

    This was not a goodwill gesture it was a dealer realising he made a mathematical mistake.

    So the car was advertised at £9495 and the dealer agreed to knock £3000 off leaving a balance of £7100 to pay? Er.... OK.

    Why would the dealer not keep to his original quote of £3000 for the trade in? I'd imagine the balance was then £6495
