Help.... think I’ve messed up

[strippier]

Went to a dealer yesterday to look at bmw and test drove and discussed finance etc.

As we were discussing price they informed me the car tax was £440 for the next 3 years. Was surprised at this and they agreed to discount the car further to compensate. I left a refundable deposit and they were going to push the finance through.

Having thought about it more it will annoy me paying the car tax. Can I cancel the deal (it was yesterday).

You've made a mistake

It's not "you have messed up" but "you are messed up"

It's a deal, get it done, enjoy the car

Then get it refunded, there presumably is a cooling off period with the finance?

And don't buy anything with a list price a single £ over £40k.

It's going to cost you £200 a year extra so £16 a month. Is that going to be a big issue? It's a drop in the ocean compared to fuel and maintenance costs.

This.

OP if you are quibbling over £200 then you have to ask yourself if you can afford to run the car!

Eh? So if the RFL was zero, but they hadn't discounted you'd be happy?

Sounds more like buyer remorse than road tax issues.

But in any event, yes they should let you cancel with no loss.

I call bks, every month you seem to have bought a new car or have issues with (a different car) you’ve either got a massive fleet of middling cars or you’re 12

I too don't understand.

Dealer agrees to discount the car to absorb the tax liability, and the OP is unhappy because... it's a car that has a liability in the first place?

Does sound like buyer's remorse.

Typical finance buyer innit. They cannot really afford the car and have to use tick to buy something they cannot afford.

If admin can delete duplicate post please. Must be due to posting on mobile!!!

Love some of the comments, it thanks to those that actually answered the question. Lol 😆

Sounds like a case of renters remorse.

Just stick to cars you can afford to buy and run would be your best option.

[Auto810graphy]

Clear case of miss selling!

They have mislead you as it should be £450 a year RFL.

Compen-say-shun?

When buying a new car (at any price really), depreciation is by far the biggest cost. I wouldn’t even consider the tax in that situation...
