On a slightly different scale i had a customer who left a £200 deposit against a £2495 car. Told me he would collect within 3 or 4 days which gave me time to MOT the car for him. I rang him on day 3 to tell him car was ready and he said he would be in the next day. Did not see him for another 2 weeks when he gave some cock and bull story about losing his job. He turned up in a new car similar to the one he was supposed to be buying off me which i can only presume he got a better deal on. He asked for his deposit back to which i refused and explained that i has spent time and effort preparing his car and taking it off sale. He has threatened to take matters further but i have not heard anything since and this was around 3 months ago.

for years joe public have had it rammed down their throat about never paying full price as we have a vast margin what they fail to tell joe public is that we have to put a vast margin across the car to pay for all of the extortionate fees associated with buying and selling cars, buyers fees, advertising fees, vat etc etc makes me laugh, 'save money by going direct to the auctions and cutting out the middle man', is it not the auctions who have become the biggest middlemen of all by buying and selling their own stock whilst flouting the consumer rights act with their cash for cars and auction operations.
