Aston Martin. Apparently Dr Andy Palmer himself has instructed them to do so.

I bet they have read this thread.

They must have!

If it's from the bigwig then I guess OP isn't getting the car! Must be something in what he's signed that allows them to pull the deal or they're setting themselves up for a kicking!

God this is bad. As for the op selling ,i know he is as read it on PHs so that means they are on here reading all this .

This whole thing is an utter disgrace and Aston Martin and all people associated with it should hang their heads in shame - whilst probably never able to afford a new Aston, a used Vantage was not far from the realms of possibility but this has completely turned me off Aston Martin

[Hitch]

Have to agree that their behaviour seems pretty poor. Their supply chain has dropped the ball and now they're taking it home with them!

So what if they've read this? Mr Andy@Aston can't really expect all online coverage to be the brown nosing he seems to get on twittergram.

Shame really. I thought better of them than this.

Agreed. Whilst we don't know the finer details, it would appear from the outside very poor form and completely at odds with my preconception of the brand. Sorry AM you've had a chance to redeem yourself and come out of this with some respectability, but you've completely cocked this one up.

That's pretty poor form on their part.

I hope this bites them on arse. PR disaster. And I hope they lose the case. Badly!

We haven't got the full facts here, but that seems very very odd for everything to be amicable (and after meeting the CEO in person and you telling him the problem to which he said he'd deal with it personally) then working towards a decent agreed resolution for the CEO to basically turn round to the OP and go, actually I've changed my mind - fk you.

There's some key information missing between those two last events.

I agree. This seems very odd.

[Durzel]

Yeah something not adding up with this. One minute the CEO himself is getting involved, then the next minute for no apparent reason he's getting involved again to stop the OP having any car at all?

[PieSlayer]

Wow.

Well it just gets better and better. Now they are refusing to sell the car!

I'd love to go into it in more detail but as its with the solicitor now, unfortunately i can't at the moment.

Full details will be available on bailii.org sometime in the future.

As an Aston owner this is pretty disappointing to read - although perhaps there are two sides to every story.

I don't think I'd have posted this on here though for risk of the outcome being altered.

Not that interest rates have been all that wonderful of late, but if your substantial deposit is returned, should it not be with `some' interest, and dare I mention the word? compensation for the inconvenience? caused?

Reading between the lines ever so slightly...

Somebody at AM offered some kind of sweetener that was outside of their job description.
When they tried to get that signed off, it got squashed internally.
The OP insisted on what they'd been promised.
Aston said "Not happening, so we'll just cancel the contract entirely, since we can't make you happy".
