I noticed a very good deal through the Land Rover Approved Used website for a Freelander 2. I immediately 'reserved' the vehicle through their online system and paid a holding deposit, allowing me 48 hours to view the vehicle.
When I called Land Rover, they said that there had been a mistake with their pricing and could not honour the reservation, even though they took a holding deposit of £500. They money was not actually taken from my account, rather a hold was put on it until I came to view and potentially buy the vehicle.
They claimed that they are covered by their terms and conditions ie. don't believe any details about cars on their website. Do I have any rights, given that I reserved the vehicle and received written confirmation (by email) of the (mistaken) retail price?
