Quite right too. I don't get these gits, they want to sell a car then don't bother calling back a prosepective customer? :Confused:

My mate travelled all the way from Scotland to get a used Q7 from Stoke Audi and on the way home, the dashboard lit up light a xmas tree. To cut a long story short, the car was supoosed to have had a full 120...something point check carried out as an approved Audi.

When he got it home, he stuck his own Vagcom on it, and the fault codes list was longer than the M6. It was sent to a local Audi dealer (Stirling) who established the car had a mouse living in the wiring loom. Stoke Audi initially said that wasn't covered under Warranty, despite the fact they sold it like that. Guess who won......

Tread carefully with that lot!!!

Isnt there some trading standards rule about them having to sell it at the advertised price that you originally enquired at.... Or am I making that up?

Its particularly useful that you have a screenshot available showing it at a cheaper price at least, and with the reg no etc.

If you could screw it out of them at the original price, it would be a very satisfying lol.

Dunno about that, I've known customers to book package holidays on our website, only for us to see the price was wrong (discount doubled), so they've been contacted 3/4 days later and had to pay the remaining £700 or so or the holiday would be cancelled, and legal go through everything with a fine tooth comb.

IT 18th October 2012 10:43 PM

Yeah, I did a little research.

It seems if its a genuine pricing mistake, and its immediately corrected once found then the law stands with the retailer.

Anything else gets a bit gray though...

I'd be spitting :angry2: if that happened to me. If the price was wrong and corrected but 3/4 days i would think was a con, entrapment, carrot dangler.

Grey area then. I suppose i could have only been noticed after 1000 people booked it / bought it.

As would I Dezzy. I do not agree with it at all. Most times customers get it because we have to correct the error within a week. Two people went to Jamaica, All Inclusive for like £200 a few months back.

I am not supporting the dealers here but it is possible that the price listed first was for the car as it was, then they decided they can make more money if they freshen up the car, so they spent couple of hundred for wheel refurbishment and possibly something more and then re-listed with couple grand on top of original price, perfectly normal practice, if you don't like it don't buy it. I mean their actions are a bit suspicious and I would most likely walk away as well but that does not mean they cannot sell it at increased price to somebody else.
