Car Dealerships

[funkylad20]

I have contacted my local Vauxhall garage after seeing cars advertised in the local paper.
I am looking for a Vauxhall Astra Estate Design 1.6 petrol.
What they are offering is something I have not come accross before and wondered if anyone else 'in the know' had.
They have recently purchased 200 Vauxhalls from the Central Vauxhall place. The cars are simply a list and are not on site. They are slightly cheaper than the other 2007 priced vehicles I have been looking at. If I am interested in one model in particular on the list, they take �250 deposit today, get the car in on site and I then take it from there. The deposit is refundable if the vehicle is 'not how it has been described'. It has been described to me as a standard spec vehicle in good condition with typically 10-15k on the clock.
Is this dodgy or normal practice?!?

Looking at what you have stated I cannot see you getting caught on the sale, Check out in full what they are offering, does it point to a lease car? they are very good at hiding things these dealer, Standard spec means no electric windows, A/C CD Player Etc I would check the car out in fine detail regards Bumps, Dents, Chips, Cracks, New Body panels Chips in the Windscreen, Marks or cuts in the seats,Mats, Roof Linning, I am only giving you a little bit of advise before you pen to paper once you have left the Dealers the onus is then on you.
