How to get a Dealer to drop their price?

Diagro said:
What?

It says what it says.... If I don't like the car upon test drive or the cars condition doesn't meet my expectations I will get a refund...

Why can no one understand this?

Anyway were going off track here.

I just looked at the paperwork, it says in LARGE letters that i am not contractually bound by the deposit or the cars purchase unless i sign the contract, which i haven't.
It also says £8375 to pay, i plan to draw a circle around the £375 and say "knock that off and we have a deal"

What's the worst that can happen?

They're not contractually bound to refund it - you don't have a contract so you've just handed over cash to them. Why don't you understand that?

No such thing as a Verbal contract then?? I wasn't on my own you know when the salesman said all this.


I think you should all stop beating the same boring drum.

Lol. Just accept you're not getting the 100 quid back.

If you cant get the discount you want then you either need to suck it up and accept you've lost 100 quid or pay their asking price. They have absolutely ZERO obligation to give you that back

No lol.

You haven't been screwed over enough in the real world. Go get some more worldly experience :p

Oh i think i have.
Bought a Clio 172 from a dealer, Found it required a major service due to Dephaser pully splitting within 3 days.

Garage refused to carry out a service.

Was forced to pay £945 for a garage to repair the damage and renew pullys and belts.

Then the Dealer shut up shop within weeks and then 3 months later came back at the same location with the same name, BUT they changed from JRC Autos to JAC Autos.

This was enough for my court case to have no effect on them what so ever.

I have been screwed over plenty thanks

Oh shut up.

They said it was refundable. So its refundable. a LARGE dealer such as LUX Car select simply wont lie to get £100 from someone when they have 500 odd cars and massive turn over per week.

So you've been screwed over by dealers in the past? But you're perfectly willing to take them on their word that they'll just hand back £100? lol

This looks nice, i like the shape, i like the toys, i like the performance.
Just seems small and only 3 doors. BUT its a very good contender and i will look for a more local one.

I negotiated a grand off my car over the phone, saying I was interested but it would need a decent discount to even bother coming to see it (the dealer phoned me after I emailed about an ebay classified ad). I did then put down a holding deposit, refundable if the car wasn't as described.

I've had a deposit refunded on a bike before from a dealer, don't know why everyone has decided that it's lost money.

Depends on the nature of the deposit but some money to show you are serious to get a car detailed earlier and/or delivered for inspection, etc. that is entirely refundable (some really **** dealers might try it on but most mainstream ones won't) isn't unusual.

If you have put down a deposit for the actual sale itself that is another story and usually "not" refundable in the spirit of how its intended unless the seller pulls out.

Mine was the former

the sales guy said. Unfortunately you cant put a deposit down on the car as its not beed prepped and we are looking 10-12 days for prep.
BUT if you want you can put £100 as a holding deposit so it can be que jumped and be ready for a test drive on sunday.
 
Grrrrrrr!

They informed me i would need to find a replacement and insure it with them otherwise i would loose my 5Years Named Drivers No claims and revert to 2 years no claims only. which would see an increase of wait for it..... £570 on my premium!
I have 14 days from today....
