Saw a MB CLK63 Cab at £15,500 online
Its in London done 101k miles so I asked if a MB health check could be done if so I will pay £350 more and the balance on collection.
All done and emails with pictures etc and an email this morning stating the discs and pads needed doing circa £1400 - no problem I expected it still having it no haggling.
Email tonight saying very apologetically that traders had called offering full price saying its very cheap, he looked a few up that had been sold and now wants £20,500.
He has offered to refund my £150
What would you do and what are my rights (if any) transfer was requested as a deposit on the sale of the car and was none refundable as far as I was concerned and paid to his bank.

, cut your losses, move on, etc, etc, etc.I had exactly the same problem when buying an A180 with/for my friend. Seller realised he had sold it too cheap and then a day later his uncle rang and asked for a bigger deposit, we paid and then the next day uncle rang back again and said someone had offered more and did we want to match?
Told him no so he refunded the deposit. Car then came for sale at EH for 2k more than we agreed. Prick. Although taking the refund was the correct option I do wish my friend had said no, bought it from EH and then sued him for the difference. Really annoys me people putting their word to something and then changjng their mind for a few quid.
