Arranged to go see a car at a used car place about an hour from us today... Price reasonable and car desperately needed.. Dh just browsed their website again and it's gone up a 1k!! What utter scammers!
Have messaged to ask what has been done to the car since 7pm last night to add a grand onto the price. Won't hear back but will give them an honest review..
In the photo of the ad with new price the sticker with original cost still in the window! Crooked and stupid...

Maybe they've had a lot of interest and decided they've priced it too low. I don't know.

that is how it works with web browsing, it happens with holidays too - completely normal

So we arrive with 3k did he think I was just going to hand over an other grand? Deluded fool.

Well... yes. You pay the higher price or don't have the car...

ThinWomansBrain · 15/06/2024 10:38

so they'll sell it to someone else for £4k
no special interest in selling to you specifically

Beautifulbythebay · 15/06/2024 16:08

He made arrangements for us to view a 3k car and would have presented a 4k car. Hardly a sound individual imo.

They’re entitled to change the price. The contract is made at the point you agree to go and see the car.

I get you’re disappointed but you need to calm it a bit.

He is not the only one, judging by your posts. Very strange!

Gosh folks ate hard-nosed on here! I think you are justified in being annoyed. I hope it doesn’t sell at that price and they have to reduce it.

Beautifulbythebay · 15/06/2024 22:25

WingSluts you are therefore agreeing with me.. We had arranged to go and view the car...

I had something similar happen a few weeks back with a flat. Agreed a viewing, went back online to look at the details again the morning of the viewing only to discover the price had gone up by £35k!

I cancelled straight away. Complete waste of time

That was a typo I wasn’t able to edit. The contract is NOT made at the point you agree to go and see the car, as I am sure you could tell I meant from the rest of the post.

It's no different to dropping the price due to lack of interest.

It annoys me when they add a couple thousand extras on after you agree to buy.
