IMHO you should have a delivery time penalty / order cancellation clause inserted into the order. But that is easer said that done.

Briefly outline a diary of events, and state that unless the car has been delivered in the next seven days, you will consider them in breach of contract and will require all of your deposit back.
If you arranged finance for the car through the dealership, then get them involved as well (their equally liable under section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act).
Note that if you have to get the car from somewhere else, and it costs more, you may be able to sue the original dealership for loss of bargain.
For further help call Consumer Direct on 08454 040506
Hope that helps.

The fact that it is "estimated" doesn't offer any guarantees. That's just me taking it on a literal sense though.

Quote from: dennisb66 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.

Section 75 of the CCA deals with credit card transactions and not finance arrangements.

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.

The card companies have always tried to wriggle out of their responsibility but after last week's House of Lords decision involving overseas purchases any doubts they had have been cleared up.

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
