You did sign it and if it was listed then you cant really complain.

DO you have a "cooling off " period whereby you can cancel and get your money back?

I can't believe anyone spending that much money would quible over £30.

Absolutely ! Anyone who buys any expensive new car (including me) wouldn't have done it if £30 seemed a significant unseeen charge especially when you consider the depreciation as soon as you drive it out of the showroom ! What I object to is the way they try and sell you all sorts of extras like GAP insurance and paint seal for £300 which cost them £5 plus a bit of elbow grease.

I appreciate it's the prinicpal but you really need to chill a bit if you're going to cancel the order for the sake of £30. You could try complaining to Land Rover head office I suppose.

............................ It could have been £3,000.

Thanks madf, but NO it couldn't have been £3,000, as that would have been a bit to easy to spot!

Yes, I know I'm being petty, but I feel it is a bit like how the budget airlines operate (well at least ONE of them), in that basicaly they are "hiding" a charge (however small), that should not be levied.

I did know the OTR price of the basic car, but SHMBO wanted some options and I did not know beforehand what the final cost should have been with these, as they were chosen at the time of order. I did actually query the "delivey" charge and was assured it was part of the standard OTR price, so I have actually been misled by the salesman.

Whilst I can see the logic with the attitude "its only £30 in a £30,000 deal....get over it", I assume you all like being ripped-off?

Good old British attitude strikes again...........moan a lot, but do nothing about it.

No - read the contract before you sign it: then you can challenge it before getting ripped off..

I did read it and queried the "delivery" charge and was told it was included in the OTR price (which it is), but this was an EXTRA "delivery" charge, so I was actually misled, (i.e. he lied)! It was not obvious as the prices on the order are shown less VAT. It is an underhand way to get extra cash. Why does a dealer feel the need to do this when they are already making upwards of a £2,000 margin?

Way to troll the thread Collos25. The OP wasn't asking for advice regarding his decision to purchase.

If you want my advice, just forget about it. The effort you'll put into retrieving that £30 just isn't worth your time.

When you get delivery, ask for £30 worth of fuel.

Bet you spend more than £30 in taxi fares while its being repaired while you own it.

If you are going to do a thorough inspection on delivery then I would look verrrry close at the paintwork, haven't there been some mentions of runs and thin patches on this model???

If the garage sells a 1k cars a year its a nice little earner for the owner.

£30? You'll lose more than that the moment you drive it out of the showroom :-)
