I bought a car today from a dealership.Have so far put the deposit on it, to pay the remainder next week when I pick the car up.The asking price was $25,900 and they brought it down to $24,500.However, I have just seen it advertised in the TM car site and the asking price is $24,900.So I haven't had as much taken off as first thought.Is it too late to beat them down further in price!

If you were happy with $24.5k, what's the problem!

You have a verbal contract and you have paid a deposit.An enforceable contract is where you have an agreement plus consideration (your deposit).That's what you have described.Besides, you have made an agreement to purchase the car at a price you are happy with - if you were not happy with the price you negotiated you wouldn't have agreed.How much you "beat then down" is irrelevant.

If you have already signed the VOSA there won't be anything you can do. All this does highlight the need when looking at cars, either on the web or in the flesh, that there isn't any mismatch in pricing. I've often seen vehicles where the screen price has been very different to the price in the listing.

What the bloody hell are you doing trolling used car prices after you have already purchased your car, you have paid your deposit and signed the paper. You are only looking for grief if you are going to do that. I purchased a new car yesterday so first thing I did when I got on the 'puter was completely delete my watchlist of cars I was interested in. I'm going to drive and enjoy my new car and not give a fig about what it was, is or maybe worth for a few years because I know if I do start looking I will certainly find one cheaper, nicer or better specked. Funny thing is if I look I won't notice a single one that is dearer or less well specked, go figure.
