    Update:

    Dealer has agreed to take the car back. I've agreed to let them keep the deposit on the proviso that they collect the vehicle.


    I believe they got legal advice on the matter and still agreed to take the car back.


    Thanks for the help everyone. I'm so relieved!!
    That's probably because their legal advice was they had no choice but to take the car back, as previously explained.

    I asked for a 400 quid protector pack for paint and interior, so that needed to be factored in also. Yeah, i lost a little here, just glad it will be going.

    Interior protector is a can of scotch guard so under £10. Paint protect materials cost the dealer around £30 and are only really effective on brand new cars as it is generally a special polish that seals the paint from environmental wear.

    well no you can get ceramic coatings* for non new cars, infact even for new cars the paint needs to be decontaminated before application.

    *not to be confused with fake guff sold by dodgy dealers such as arnold clark
