I Have Just Signed

and paid £200 deposit to buy a 2nd hand car. On reflection I am not sure I have made the right move. Is there a cooling off period ?

[BRIGHT SPARK]

What does the paperwork say about deposit refunds?

[seanne]

Nothing stated

[seanne]

Only 1 MOT and 2 PDI ? whatever that is

[factor-fiction]

I think you'll probably lose it. The seller may have accepted the deposit in good faith and then turned down other offers for the car or incurred some costs . There is no harm in asking though.
It may depend on how you bought it. Was it online, over the phone or did you see it? Is it a private sale or from a showroom?

[seanne]

I bought it after seeing it, but he never mentioned a warranty either

[seanne]

It is a used car premises in the town, seemingly not a garage

[BRIGHT SPARK]

Go back and give them some female charm...you may get some or all of it back.

If a Side of the road Purchase I doubt it, has the car got any mechanical problems? If so, state it to the seller, what paper work? was it verbal? will not stand in a court unless said in front of a witness. why have you had 2nd thoughts?

[seanne]

I went ahead and bought it. He said it needs to have a new cam belt shortly, but looking that up on the net that sounds right to renew it after so many miles
