Dodgy dealer - do I have any recourse?
Do I have any rights? QA finance company advertised a Discovery at just under £15k. I drove it on a Friday and on Saturday agreed via text a price of £14,750. I was told an invoice would be emailed and the person I had dealt with outlined the payment terms.
A few hours later another text - "sorry a woman who had a viewing on Saturday pm insisted on turning up and offered more than the asking price. She has the car." I complained that we had struck a deal but was just told - "Too bad money talks"

Unless 'consideration' had actually changed hands (by which I mean they had actually taken payment from you, even in the form of a deposit) then you have no rights.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
