    I quite like the personal touch myself, particularly when it's concerning probably the 2nd biggest financial purchase you're going to make, but it doesn't suit everyone.

    Why don't you think this is one of your trolling spats?

    You were wrong in what you stated about buying GAP cover and links to the FCA website and the very website about which you stated:
    If only there was a trust worthy expert, i dont know, someone like martin lewis, that had a website detailing these things
    have shown you to be wrong yet you are still posting but can't or won't admit that you were incorrect, instead of which you are simply spouting waffle.

    IMO, that's a perfect example of someone trolling a website as you will ever see.

    You can have an opinion, it's not worth much but still it's yours. You have it.:p
    And of course the OP has no interest in gap insurance and that wasn't the question asked at all, so there's trolling here, just some are more aware they are doing it than others.

    You seem to be missing or ignoring the point that what Shaun from Africa and Neilmcl state aren't their opinions but are facts, facts confirmed by quoting the actual legislation that covers the subject being discussed.
    You have also gone very quiet about claiming that the MSE website backs up what you claim now that it has been shown that you were either mistaken or simply lying.

    I agree with the other posters. You are not posting anything that is in any way, shape or form, useful or correct so if you aren't trolling, what do you think that are you doing?

    I came back here to give an update but it seems you've all been entertaining yourselves. You lot love a pointless argument.

    Anyone who's interested, when I bought the car last week I said I needed it by the end of this week. Many phone calls and lies later, I've now cancelled and asked for my £5k deposit back. I have no idea what they were playing at but I guess I'll never know.

    So back to car shopping.

    Agreed.

    Are they gonna give you the deposit back?

    Of course. The contract was entered into based upon certain facts - actually being able to take ownership of the car and drive it away from the showroom was one of the main ones.
