I've been pondering buying a 'new' used car for a while & the one I wanted came up. 100 miles away at a main dealer. My search criteria was leather interior. This is a 1100+ option. Dealer confirmed leather over the phone.
Pictures were ok but not fantastic. I paid a 250 holding deposit as going down next week.
I saw the car on another site with better pics . The 'leather' interior is actually onyx leather/Alcantra which is actually a no cost option. Onyx leather 1100+.
Looking at main dealers, others with onyx/alcantra say this is the case & cars are cheaper accordingly. More local too.

I'll call tomorrow to get my deposit back.
I'm in the right as mis described & distance selling etc etc?

Alcantara is more expensive for the manufacturer to buy than leather -- are you sure it's a no-cost option?

Probably the former, but it doesn't matter as it's definitely the latter.
