I ordered a car to spec from a new car dealer who asked me for a £500 deposit. In the spec I requested a sun roof which was agreed on but the car has just be delivered to the garage and on going to sign some other docs I found out in actual fact it was not an opening sun roof but a panoramic glass roof with an opening viser!! Very disappointed I have asked to pull out of the sale but they are not willing to give me back my £500 as there is a dispute over the roof as they are saying that they never said it would be a fully opening roof. Can anyone give me any advice on where i stand legally and if I can get my money back?

I have now decided to sell the car and have found out there may be outstanding finance on it and it was cat c(?) repair. I have tried to sell it to trade who will buy it but for alot less than I paid for it(dont mind losing some money on it but not that much). Where do we stand legally?

My brother paid a £200 deposit on a 2nd hand car to secure it, (even though he had advised the dealer that it failed to go above 60mph on his test drive!?). The dealer had asked for the debit card deposit and ensured him that the problem would be easily sorted out whilst the finance was dealt with (by another dealer in case this matters as this one only offered a year and he could not afford that?). He also claims he was told that the deposit was refundable. I believe that two days later, the finance arrangement was rejected and the dealer said he could only have half the deposit back by a cheque in the post. My brother protested but not knowing his rights he left empty handed, told that he was a time waster and the remainder of the deposit was needed to pay for the car to be re-advertised. Days and phone calls later, still no cheque. A week later a cheque arrived for £125. Should he be happy with this, or is he within his rights for a full refund? I can see hints across the forums that he may be, but really need advice specific to this saga before I get involved. I know £75 is not a lot to some, but he borrowed it from my mum and she really could do with it. Any advice gratefully received.... http://www.moneysupermarket.com/community/forums/t/sold-car-on-ebay-38899.aspxFri, 09 Oct 2009 21:17:34 GMTd60303e3-0d44-49ad-b329-9875dfa2f932:165541dell29042http://www.moneysupermarket.com/community/forums/t/sold-car-on-ebay-38899.aspxhttp://www.moneysupermarket.com/community/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=11&PostID=165541 Hi, I sold my car on ebay on a wednesday, listing said payment within 2 days of auction end, the buyer gave me a cash deposit on the friday and was meant to collect the car and pay the rest the following monday. So I had to go and buy another car as he would be taking my old one. Monday and no-show, Tuesday no-show. Wednesday the buyer said his insurance was not ready but would pay more money, by friday he had paid another amount directly into my bank account and would collect the car within a couple of days and pay the rest. Still no-show. Following monday he emails me saying he is sorry and will pay balance on wednesday or thursday. Wednesday, no money, will not answer his phone. Thursday no money, manage to get through to him and explain that he must pay the balance by the following day as i needed to pay it out. He said he would ring me back in 10 mins. He did not, I text him saying that the money must be paid urgently and that I had been more than lenient (car was sold 3 weeks ago now) no reply, tried calling, no reply. Friday (this morning) tried ringing him at least 20/25 times between 0800 and 1245, sent various texts and an email saying that I would have no option but to assume he no longer wants the car, I urgently needed the outstanding balance, (I had not agreed for him to pay in installments.) I would have no choice but to sell the car to someone else who is willing to pay. Which I did, by 1550 the car was sold and paid for. He telephoned me at 1605 to say he had paid £250 into my account (half the remaining balance) I told him what I had had to do and why, and that I would send the monies that he had paid into my bank account straight back to him. He has messed me about since day one and I have been more than patient. My listing explained that I was having to sell the car due to finances and I had explained the time limit I needed the money by. Which he has ignored completely. Do I have to refund him his original cash deposit too? I only ask because he has messed me about so much without me agreeing to accept payment by installments which would have gone on for over a month...? http://www.moneysupermarket.com/community/forums/t/bmw-z3-owners-38735.aspxSat, 03 Oct 2009 23:36:54 GMTd60303e3-0d44-49ad-b329-9875dfa2f932:164923supersaverclub1http://www.moneysupermarket.com/community/forums/t/bmw-z3-owners-38735.aspxhttp://www.moneysupermarket.com/community/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=11&PostID=164923 Are there any Z3 owners on here?

He took it to the TT shop in Bedford for some cosmetic work, they noticed the light on, and did a test, it still said Cam prob, they had quick look, and found the belt had been replaced in the wrong position, this annew one was fitted together with the tensioner, and also the water pump was about to fail, 3 weeks later the steering rack failed, but that is another story! We hav been back to the Garage who deny all wrong doing with the fault light, (and the rack ) and that my son should have taken it back....... he did ! They now say that the TT shop were simply saying it was a cambelt fault, and it's nothing to do with Strattons. Although it's weird the light has not come back since the work was 'rectfied' The original garage is not willing to pay anything towards the costs, he was only asking for a contribution! With regards to the steerring rack, the garage said it was 100% when they sold it, and it must have failed in the 4000 miles since where do w e stand pleas eanyone ?? http://www.moneysupermarket.com/community/forums/t/anyone-heard-of-ukcardiscount-23184.aspxWed, 23 Jul 2008 14:30:39 GMTd60303e3-0d44-49ad-b329-9875dfa2f932:100662Bar Room Barrister6http://www.moneysupermarket.com/community/forums/t/anyone-heard-of-ukcardiscount-23184.aspxhttp://www.moneysupermarket.com/community/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=11&PostID=100662Believe they've been trading a while, but can't find any reviews.

Recently I've noticed the engine light comes on randomly, sometimes accompanied by a drop in power but not always. It seems to be when the car is cold or the weather is damp, and leaving it running for a few minutes before setting off can sometimes prevent it - but not always.

Since delivery, the vehicle has been returned under warranty no less than seven times, four of those recovered by Volvo Assist/AA Roadside leaving me stranded. There have been similar problems on each occasion however, on each of these there has been significant, 2-3 days at a time, diagnostic/troubleshooting/guess-work assessment. Almost the entire fuel system has been replaced, they call to say 'we have identified the problem' only for it to breakdown again a few weeks later! The most recent was just last week where the car would not start in the morning. They replaced the ECU and Ignition then flushed the fuel system. Upon its return, the drivers window is now inoperative and will require its return to the main dealer for another days assessment and repair. Does anyone have any experience regarding a vehicle being deemed as unfit for purpose. This car has left me stranded many times, it has seriously damaged my credibility at work as I am often late because it has not started, or has been difficult to start and has robbed me of many days waiting around at various Volvo dealerships. I have lost all faith in its performance and often rely on alternative methods of transport if there is any importance associated with my journey. In the USA I am lead to believe that this car would have been tagged as a lemon already and a replacement offered. I realise that the 'Lemon Law' does not apply in the UK however, surely we have something similar to protect our investment.

Since the purchase I have had 2 minor faults but then came the major one yesterday. The first fault was a windscreen wiper braking, the dealer happily replaced this for me, the 2nd fault was the gear linkage braking, this makes you unable to change gears effectively. I had to call out a Breakdown recovery team for this who advised me at the time this was a common fault and this part had now been modified on newer versions. The other day I noticed I was not getting any heat blowing from my car, I then checked to find there was no water in coolant, at first I thought to myself this was my fault and presumed I just hadn't refilled it again. I filled it up again and the heater was working fine. The next day I checked the coolant again to find the water was gone. All I could presumke then is there was a leak somewhere as water shouldn't have to be refilled so quickly. I then took this down to the dealer who checked it over, after him refilling it a few times and that he hadn't detected a leak that everything was fine and I drove away thinking this had been resolved. about 4 hours later I have been driving the car and heard funny noise from engine so immediately stopped the car to check it and found that water had emptied and loads of smoke coming from engine, it appears there was a leak in the coolant system which the dealer didn't detect. I then tried to re-start the car but it wasn't starting and also lots of smoke coming from bonnet. I went to dealer today to discover that my head gasket was blown, and advised this is costly repair which I would need to pay for there is no manufacturing warranty on the car. To my knowledge this is an expensive repair and after forking 3,000 on a car wouldn't expect this to happen or for me to foot repair bill. All opinions and advise appreciated as to where I stand http://www.moneysupermarket.com/community/forums/t/buying-a-car-online-from-carquake-32052.aspxMon, 23 Feb 2009 12:18:06 GMTd60303e3-0d44-49ad-b329-9875dfa2f932:139765confused.red0http://www.moneysupermarket.com/community/forums/t/buying-a-car-online-from-carquake-32052.aspxhttp://www.moneysupermarket.com/community/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=11&PostID=139765 Please help I am just about to confirm order for new car to be delivered (I don't fancy going 450 miles to collect it) They won't accept payment over the phone by debit card (allowed ONLY IF I COLLECT) so will I get any protection if I pay by bankers draft or personal cheque. I have paid £500 deposit already on my debit card. I am sure it is going to be ok BUT.......... any tips please this is a big deal for me. http://www.moneysupermarket.com/community/forums/t/car-companies-wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee-31920.aspxThu, 19 Feb 2009 12:26:04 GMTd60303e3-0d44-49ad-b329-9875dfa2f932:139262butterfly girl3http://www.moneysupermarket.com/community/forums/t/car-companies-wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee-31920.aspxhttp://www.moneysupermarket.com/community/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=11&PostID=139262It amazes me that we are in the middle of a recession and the car companies are pleading for help from us and the government to bail them out yet you go to buy a car and the prices are still sky high, the finance is plain stupid and the salesmen seem to think that we are all stupid !!!! Surely they all need to wake up and smell the coffee and realise that if they want to survive this recession, keep their work force in jobs and sell cars that they need to stop asking for hand outs, reduce their prices andn remember how low the interest rates are at the moment and that we the consumer are not stupid and will not be taking finance at 19 % no matter how many cups of tea were offer http://www.moneysupermarket.com/community/forums/t/car-purchase-agreement-30399.aspxMon, 19 Jan 2009 23:30:44 GMTd60303e3-0d44-49ad-b329-9875dfa2f932:134342shanananan2http://www.moneysupermarket.com/community/forums/t/car-purchase-agreement-30399.aspxhttp://www.moneysupermarket.com/community/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=11&PostID=134342 Hi, can anyone help, i have recently signed a new car purchase agreement, with my old car in part exchange after carefully looking throught the figures (i know a little late now), and the verbal information provided by the car dealer for my monthly payments, the deal is pretty poor with regard o the apr and also the amount i am borrowing against the car (various extras have now been added). I have not signed the finance agreement as i am ue to sign this when i hand my car over. Can i cancel this car purcahse agreement or re negotiate the various figures on the form without likely penalties as there are no figures (penalties etc), and the form appears very legal
