PCP offer not honoured

Hello

Last weekend I secured a deal on a new Jaguar XF which included 35% employee discount. I signed the paperwork and gave a £500 deposit to secure the car and arranged to return next week for a pre handover on Monday and a final handover on Wednesday next week.

I received a phone call from the dealer saying that they’d made a mistake and the 35% discount only applied to 19 model year vehicles and as mine was an 18 model year I would only be entitled to a 30% discount. New paperwork was issued which, without thinking, I signed.

Should the dealer honour the original agreement or have I lost any chance of that now?

Thanks

Phil

    It's a bit late now you've signed it.


    You could have refused and asked for your deposit back.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.

    You signed the new paperwork knowing it included a 30% discount not 35%.
