Don’t think that ignoring the issue will make it go away, that’s very unlikely. You can also ignore the defence that Kezo is suggesting, since you very clearly benefit from the added options (since you added them yourself by agreeing to and signing for them) – otherwise you wouldn’t have ordered them.
Your must be getting old Rene and not taking in all that I said?
The £740 invoice for the optional extra’s is the main issue here. The op mistakenly stated that the AP of the vehicle £2689, a tenner short of the actual AP. The op then said he agreed the the price/AP the day before via telephone call. The next day the op went to collect the car and 2hrs later drove away!! The day after collecting his car the salesperson then sent an invoive for £740 for the added extra’s (alloy’s & rear camera)
I told the op that the addition invoice was for the factory fitted options. I then proceeded to say were you aware of these extra’s, if you wern’t to send an email to saying they have no benifit to you.. The important bit-I then went on to say if the reverse camera is of benifit (it would be) to offer a payment towards that. From memory I said ex VAT.
You are saying point blank he was aware of the extra’s (who knows he hasn’t said). It is highly possible it was a simple internal mistake when adding the vehicle to the system and they wern’t aware of any factory extra’s at the time and it was found latter that day or the next in the accounts department!
The link you provide is inconclusive and no actuall law stated only a forum like this is. There are also no forged signatures here at which point I stopped reading it.
There is indeed a law that covers pricing errors. Hypotheticlly a Golf GTE is on a forecourt with a known value of £20000, you go and look at it and the dealer has forgot to add a zero. The Golf is only up for sale at £2000 and you buy it knowing you got a cracking deal. In this case the dealer has every right to take you to court and you would loose your case because you have purchased something knowing it was worth hell of alot more.
Back to the point if the op person honestly wasn’t aware the extras were on the vehicle and the dealership was aware of this, it’s unlikely they will pursue it in the courts. The other point the majority if not all maindealers, the vehicle has an inventory along with any factory fitted options stored on their server. Thus entering the vehicles stock number will simply bring the details up. There was no mention of the said extra’s on the main invoice!
