A friend of mine signed papers for a car purchase on Monday and paid £250 deposit. He wants now to get out of this and wonders what his position is (he's at work and the papers at home, so can only read the small print later but wants to know now).
I thought that there is a cooling off period and he can without problem step back from this but I might be wrong.
Does anyone here know ?
Thanks

Has he asked the vendor? I've had a few car deposits back in my time. Once after a car had been brought from the south coast to Glasgow especially. It's an awkward conversation, but they've always obliged.

Hi guys, he's not financing through the garage and he did sign on the dealer's premises. Brycey, he just only decided to get out of it and is jsut checking his position first!

Surely he can just walk away and lose his deposit. If he wants the deposit back that will be trickier I would have thought.

As stumpy said! However 9 months ago I dealt with a great garage and they also returned my deposit, but they don't have to if you read the small print!

I suggest he makes up some heartwrenching story involving at least two from cancer, redundancy, sharia law and divorce.
The garage won't have heard anything like this before and will give him all his money back straight away.
