Sorry to hear of the problems you have been having betty02 but i agree 100% with everything VC has said! As you say you have tried to offer them half of what you (should) have paid in the first place and it is still not good enough for them, also lets get real here, do you really think they care about you!? like most dealers all they really care about is the cash in your pocket. How many times have you been to a dealers and they want to do everything they can to help you before you sign the contract, as soon as you sign it's instantly that little bit harder to get in touch with them each time. So simple, let those personal feelings go in this case, look out for number one and as many have said it's their mistake!!! I would be very similar to yourself to be honest, i would almost feel guilty about it but one thing i have leant is, don't! it won't get you anywhere.

I hope all gets sorted for you, with the extra cash in YOUR hand!!.

as said above once you sign thats it they dont want to know you .
all that will happen the sales guy wont be getting a big bouns
this crimbo.  the deal now is with you and finance company
not the dealer. they can take the hit .they make enough
stand your ground dont let them frighten you

whats the worst that can happen you pay them what you owe
good luck

I would be avoiding verbal communication as much as possible unless you want to say something to them that they cant prove.  Without it in writing its all worthless.  Also if you are sufferign from guilt, just think that the dealer isnt actually losing £4,500 a portion of that will be there profit and as you mentioned earlier they have put your car up for sale at £1500 more than they offered you so all in all they are probably only a small margin down and if you make it difficult for them they will lose interest.

^^^^
As others have already said, especially VC.

At this stage I would refuse all verbal communications from them and leave them to act as they think fit. Some solicitors will give you a first consultation free of charge - It's one way of establishing how you stand legally. CAB can advise of course. Always use a specialist solicitor, whatever the case - They have the experience and are more up to speed on the issue.

Above all, don't lose any sleep over this and you don't need to do anything - The onus is entirely on them.  :happy2:

....Just seen this ^

The gloves are off! They're trying to scare you. Consult both CAB and a solicitor. And still don't lose any sleep over it!  :happy2:

Doesn't the contract you've signed say they will?

Have you completed all the V5 forms and have they been sent back to the respective parties, as if so then you should be ok, as technically they have bought a car with finance outstanding and as the new owners are now liable.

Do you have a sales contract or receipt that shows the Twingo and its finance settlement as part of the deal?

How did you find out? Did they tell you and if so what did they say?

Just to poke the fire, personally I'd be just sorting out new finance and trying to get a large gesture of sorry from them, I really couldn't be bothered with all the hassle. But I suppose if u just hand it to a soliciter and don't lose sleep over it then it wouldn't be too bad.

Spoke to twingo finance people. If the £5000 doesn't get paid it all comes back to me and I get in sh*t despite what happens as nothing was legally signed to say they will pay it. Despite verbal and emails but nothing legal.

So rang them back and said as the Twingo is legally still mine I will come to collect, they refused blah blah.

I don't want to be stuck with paying 2 cars and only own 1 so I had to do something.

Theres a £4500 difference missing and I said of the record I am willing to pay £1500 and then cut there loss's at that. He has gone away to think about the deal and will ring me in the morning.

I know I shouldn't be but I don't want to be left with £5k hanging over my head and I love the golf too much.

Will work out paying £200 a month for the golf - Still a good deal?
