don't look at cars advertised with dealers then
Whether you like it or not, they are a 'for-profit' business, with staff and overheads to pay. I suspect you have no idea how much it costs to run even a small business, these guys pay £1000s in advertising costs alone and they also need to allow for repairs/warranty work. Nobody here works for Oscar, but he is generally well regarded as only usually stocking the best 8s. What is your budget and what does your CAP RETAIL pricing say you should get for your money?

Another thing - this "rip-off thief", as you describe him, according to you, paid £2k more for that car than you were prepared to pay.
So, if he is a rip-off thief, what does that make you? Just saying...

2. Don't expect any dealer worth their salt to sell to you at much below retail value, you're just wasting your time and theirs. 3. It looks like a 20k motor to me. If you think you can buy that car from an Audi dealer for that price, then go ahead and find one. I won't hold my breath waiting for that one! Here's the link to Audi AUC, see if you can find one http://www.audi.co.uk/used-cars/used-car-locator.html 4. They may advertise with a 3 month warranty, but all cars bought retail are subject to a 6-month guarantee - OFT has stated that all faults emerging in first six months after purchase are presumed to have been present at time of sale. Burden of proof is with the dealer to prove fault not present at time of sale. See page 28: http://www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/rep...08/oft1241.pdf This is another reason dealers' margins have needed to increase in recent years, and why you're far less likely to get a big discount than in years past. Now, the problem with this law is that you can take the dealer to court, get awarded judgement etc, but you can't actually force the dealer to cough up. However, the likes of Oscar Goldman and Sytner are not back street dealers and are far more likely to treat you fairly as any negative publicity would have a far greater affect on them.

Why would the seller lie about it, he/she has sold it, what's to gain by lying?

If you want a good car and haven't the time to shop around or wait (but do have the money), then you're his sort of customer and vice-versa. But if you want a good car at a bargain price and are prepared to invest your own time & effort and wait until the right car shows up, he's not for you.
