Hello guys,
I'm about to buy a brand new car in a dealership in UK, but the salesperson says he can't make me an offer o quotation. The delivery time is arround 1 year, so I'd expect to have the car sometime in quarter 4 of 2017.
The problem is that he is requesting me a non-refundable deposit to place the order, and says that the final price will be set at delivery, with a very likely increase in price, but without defining it (5, 10, 50% increas?)
This is very uncommon in other EU countries, where you sign de purchase agreement and forget about any possible increase.

Please, any idea of what is going on?

It's quite frustrating, because it has nonsense this attitude in a dealership.

You place a deposit once you have agreeded the financials.
cost of the vehicle should be set at point of order.
This is the standard rule in U.K. I guess, doesn't it?
