selling an S550 reserved slot

[knownuser]

Hi guys,
I reserved my yellow V8 in late Jan but was told last week that I'm redundant, I hope to be back into a new role quickly but to cover all possibilities has anyone heard of people selling the reserved slot or selling on a car to the dealer? don't really want to lose my £2k deposit, any "out" ideas welcome (or offers of work!)


BTW
I'll do almost anything to keep the car

Thanks guys I'll call the dealer.....if I find something else soon the good news is the redundancy package will make a dent in the deposit (might even pay for it outright!)

thanks for the replies, luckily my skill set and the work environment mean it's fairly likely I'll find something quickly I really wanted to be informed about my options.

it's great feedback that the deposit can't be non-refundable (I'd argue distance selling legislation applies if needed)I did wonder if the dealer would buy the car and not register it as I'm sure they could charge over the odds for one in the first/second batch (not a CL car)

I'll be tempted to buy the car and sell it on (hoping for a small profit/break even) as long as I can and I don't need the redundancy for other things like mortgage and food.

best case I get a new job and I buy the car with the redundancy I'll go shake my old boss by the hand/throat and thank him for the bright yellow V8 in his parking space.
