Deposit Refund Under Distant Selling Reg - typing00
Hi all

Let's say you place a deposit on a car (over the phone with local main dealer) with a 6-month waiting list to your own specification. Is the deposit still refundable under the distant selling regulation should you decide that you do not want the car because of a change in circumstances? this is assuming that the dealer would have no problem selling the car to someone else on the waiting list.

many thanks.
