Pretty sure the answer to this is going to be no but what the hell.

Say you traded in your car (which was on PCP and was valued at higher than the settlement figure) and taking a replacement on PCP but after a few days realise you actually preferred the old car, is there any way in hell to can the PCP, hand the car back and take your traded in car back and basically reset everything back to before you set foot in the dealership?
 
For what its worth. The finance has the 14 day cooling off period but it (interestly) specifically says it doesn't give you the right to just return the car. So basically you can exercise the right to cancel the finance but you still need to pay them.

Also the old car is actually up for sale by the dealer so doesn't look to be straight off to auction.

Old was Octavia vRS, new is a Corolla Hybrid.
 
Did test drive although not for that long. It's not like its a terrible car its just a few minor things adding up to annoying me and making me miss the old one.
Agreement signed and delivery was the same day.
Ironically the small print includes a section that if the purchase was done without any face to face interaction with a dealer at their premises then I'd have 14 days to change my mind (probably the car version of distance selling act).
So test driving it and signing the finance docs in person probably lost me some rights....oh well
 
3 years and quite possibly I will. Think this is the first time I've changed cars and ended up depressed about it after a few days....
 
Well, I spoke to the dealer and have arranged a deal to get my Skoda back. Ultimately I'm no worse off.
 
Well, the Skoda's original PCP would have been up in September with about 9k settlement to keep it and was costing just under 400 a month.

The Toyota's deal was £306 a month + £13 VSI cover and something like £12k GFV

Deal to take back the Skoda is £340 a month for 3 years with the slight bonus of transferring the service plan from Toyota to it.

Maybe not a great deal in the grand scheme of things but in terms of monthly costs I'm technically better off than I was, just with the "downside" of needing to keep the Skoda longer which since it turns out I actually bloody love the car isn't a downside really :p
