HI,

Thanks for the reply.

I do not want to buy the car with discrepancies too... just wandering if they maybe have another buyer and trying to get rid of me. If that is the case i would like to know what i can do...

Well you are jumping to conclusions here, as I don't think a garage would behave in this way.

I am not sure I would want to buy a car that had discrepancies. What if you forced the garage into selling it to you and in a years time you had problems ? Electrics can be very expensive and/or painful to sort out, particularly if the fault is intermittent. With a hybrid, this could be even more the case.

I think I would take the deposit back and find another car without discrepancies.

Hi,

I would really appreciate help from you guys...

Last week on Wednesday I've agreed to buy a car from a dealer, paid deposit, signed the agreement and agreed to collect the car in a week time as the car needed some work done before the collection.

Yesterday I've called the dealer as I've not heard from them since paying the deposit for the car, they've told me the car is still in garage getting the work done.
Today, I've received a call from the dealer saying that it would be the best if I took my deposit back as the car has "some discrepancies"... ??? They've told me "as it is hybrid, something is wrong with electrics" and it will probably be the best if I take my deposit back...

When I've agreed to buy the car, I had a mechanic who checked the car and I got the report back saying that everything is fine with the car, beside few scratches on the back bumper and back windows not opening. It was agreed with the dealer they will repair windows and get rid of scratches. Now dealer is saying that car has "some discrepancies" and they would want me to take the deposit back... ????

The car was advertised as immaculate, low millage and at the price of £18.500. We've agreed that I will buy it at £18.000 and they will do the work... however, I have a terrible feeling that someone maybe offered them a full asking price and they are trying to get out of agreement with me.... do not understand why as I am cash buyer!

The car was never taken off the market after we've agreed the price and me paying deposit and signing the agreement.

I have refused to take the deposit back and agreed to call them on Friday to find out what did garage say about the repair.

Can someone please tell me where do I stand. Can the dealer just go ahead and sell it to someone else even after I've paid deposit and signed the agreement? What are my rights in all this, as I rally want this car.

Thanks! X
