Car Dealership - legal advice (25 replies)
I purchased a car from a well known car dealer 3 weeks ago, who are now threatening legal action.
I called and negotiated £500 (£14,100 to £13,600) from the asking price and agreed to pay the remainder at the dealership the next day.
When he took my card for payment, a further £300 has been taken off from the price ( £13,300) , so I said nothing and left with the car. Kerching.
They started to chase/call and initially tried to argue that the V5 would be kept in their name, if the £300 was not transferred - I advised them to politely feck off as a) the car is insured and taxed in my name and b) the other half of the V5 had already been sent from the post office and was on it's way to the DVLA. (the post office receipt was attached to my receipt)
Where do I stand on this? The invoice states the price I should have paid, (£13,600) whilst my receipt and another hand written document state the revised figure (£13,300)
Any advice would be much appreciated. ( they've given me 14 days to pay the £300 or legal action will commence)
