ESTIMATED Delivery time
Any legal eagles out there ?When ordering a new car and delivery is an ESTIMATED 6weeks which becomes 8 then 10.How long can a garage get away with delays before the contract ie.order can be considered void,the order cancelled and the deposit demanded back in full.
Hope someone knows the answer(if there is one) to settle a pub debate.

Do you have the estimated delivery time in writing?
I suggest you write to the dealer outlining his broken promises and tell him that if he can't deliver within the next 2 weeks you reserve the right to cancel.
The Consumer Credit Act Section 75 relates to a debtor/creditor/supplier agreement to be accurate.
That means when there is some sort of link between the supplier (car dealer) and the creditor (finance company), and a third party (you the debtor or purchaser or however you want to describe yourself) Think of it as a triangle.
It was intended to be used exactly where a finance company operates through a retailer, and the credit card companies were very upset when it was pointed out that it applied to them as well! Many of them will still try to riggle out of their responsibilities if you let them.
It kicks in when the total cost of the goods or service is over £100, and the finance company is responsible for the full amount, even if only part of it is paid by credit.
So much for todays legal seminar.

You're obviously reading a different S 75 to the one I have.
There is no specific mention of credit cards or credit card companies. I'll copy the entire section if you like.
Sorry I don't know how to do all the clever stuff, so there's no hyperlink.

Quote from: dennisb66 No way John,expecting delivery any day.
I had a look at that dealers site and they do some good deals - not that I'll be upgrading my Kia in the immediate future.
From doing about 5,000 miles a month I did 39 miles in September - down to about 4,000 miles per year overall since I decided to retire at 70
I'm with you there John,since retirement I only average 4000 miles per year.I have just put my Citreon xsara forte 1.4 W reg march 2000 on the market,it's only done 25570 miles,hardly run in but I felt like a change.
