Return of deposit

[Phil Dicky]

Lad has a brand new Seat Ibiza on order, £500 deposit paid and balance on collection.
However the dealer have rung explaining a further delay, should have had the car in July. Also they can't confirm it will have digital cockpit. How this feature is standard on the FR Sport he has on order. They add they won't know until the car arrives. Now he doesn't want the car without this feature. Plus I believe missing a standard feature will severally harm its re sale.
He's considering cancelling the order, as we believe the dealer are breaking the contract.
Can we do this and get the deposit back? Or do we have to wait another 3.months on the off chance they supply what has been ordered?

In all likelihood they will just give him his deposit back and sell the car to someone else. It’s not like there’s hundreds of them kicking around at the moment!

Best to call the dealer and ask.

OP I fairly recently ordered a new car and - like your son - was told it wouldn't / might not come with digital dash.

But in the end it did (although I didn't care)

when I picked it up the guy said they just didn't know - some do, some don't - and it varied from week to week

just reject it when it turns up if its not got the features you've paid for/ordered.
