DO NOT USE - DISHONEST SALES

Beware.. Dishonest.. I saw a Seat Leon 1.8 TSI 180 PS which was advertised for £14777.00 on Autotrader. I called the Seat Letchworth Dealers and initally spoke to Alex. After asking a few questions about the history of the car including any additional works required, Alex confirmed that the car is in the workshop having a few parts replaced which are worth £1500.00. He also mentioned that the Alloys have been refurbished in house and all minor issues are being taken care of before they actually sell the car. I requested a detailed video of the bodywork of the car and was told by Alex that the car is in the workshop so once it comes out he will send me a video. I was really happy to hear this as it's been a few weeks searching for a good car. I spoke with Alex and offered him £14000.00 and promised that if he accepts my offer, I will travel to go and pick my new car up on the sameday (Sat 19th Feb 2022). He said "let me come back to you as I need to ask if I'm able to give it for £14000.00. After 5 - 10 minutes, he calls me back and offers to give me the car for £14350.00. He explained that the car has gone through the workshop which has cost them close to £1500.00 so he will accept £14350.00 and no less. I accepted the offer on condition that they send me a video prior to taking a deposit. He was happy to do this for me and asked me to leave it with him the as the car is still in the workshop. I didn't hear back from Alex so thought I'd call to confirm when they'll be sending the video through to me. To my disappointment, Alex confirmed that he is really sorry as some other staff member who never knew about my interest has taken a deposit from someone else who is coming next week to inspect the car and if they don't buy the car, he will get in touch with me. I honestly was feeling lied to as I could tell that something wasn't right from when I called back to pay the actual deposit. Fast forward to the next day (Today Sun 20th Feb 2022).. My wife (Different surname to my name) emailed them to enquire about the car and enquired if it's available and if we can arrange a viewing for this coming Tuesday.. Chris replied back confirming that the car is for sale and would be very happy to arrange a meeting for this coming Tuesday and asked what time we will be arriving. My wife emailed Chris back asking if there was any movement from £14777.00 and offered £14500.00 as I had a strong feeling that they lied to me because they had changed their mind on the initial proposal of £14350.00 which Alex had accepted over the phone. To both our dissapointment and disgust.. Chris emailed my wife back saying the car is priced at £15488.00 on Autotrader and they cannot accept the offer of £14500.00 that my wife had proposed. End result: Extremely Dishonest and Falsely Telling Lies just to avoid giving the car away at the agreed price. Beware of these scammers. Thank you.
