The People's Forum: Re: Any legal eagles able to advise on something? (preferably ASAP)

I am not a UK qualified lawyer, but under most, if not all legal systems, you have a binding and enforcable contract in circumstances like this. There is no cooling off period, as that is only a right for consumers, not for businesses.

Do you have any evidence of disclosing the MOD information? If not, that may be the only issue in terms of how strong your case you have.

Basics are that I've just bought a used car from a Ford dealership... I've part exchanged my current car after they offered 0„5XXX in part exchange.

I've agreed the price, signed all the transfer documents online, paid the difference and for car tax, and delivery - all signed, sealed and done.

2 hours later they have phoned back and said that they have made a mistake with the part-exchange valuation and they can now only offer me 0„5YYY (half the amount of 0„5XXX) due to it previously having been an MOD-owned car (which I fully disclosed to them) - they are insisting that it's all null and void and that the whole deal is off, so I'm just wondering if I have a leg to stand out if I play hardball and say that it's all been signed and paid for?

Thanks.
