Dealing changing the 'agreed sale price'
Discussion
I was due to sell the wife's boxster back to the local porsche dealership today, however, when I got there they suddenly reduced thier offer.
4 weeks ago we test drove the new cayenne as we need to change from a 2 seater due to a recent baby. The dealer gave us a p/x figure and also gave us a buy-back figure (all verbal) as we also mentioned we were looking at X5's.
We did not proceed with the purchase of the cayenne, however the car went in for its service the following week.
At the time we were given the buy back figure the mileage was 13,250. At the time of service the mileage was 13,445. The mileage now is 13,900.
There reason for the reduced offer today was that they were unaware of the condition of the vehicle stating stone chips & tyre wear the cause of the reduced offer.
My argument was that how much 'additional' damage/tyre wear can there be in 650 miles since they valued it. They would not however stick to thier word & the deal fell through.
I have since tried to contact the dealer principle who will not return my calls.
The problem I have is that I am picking up the X5 tomorrow & have already released the funds to them so cannot cancel it.
The X5 dealer isn't really interested in looking at the porsche on p/x as in he doesn't really want the car in stock & said he would only sell it back to the same porsche dealer anyway.
In summary its a right royal f@ck-up. Something I would expect of a back street garage not a porsche approved dealership.
Where do I go from here ? Any help appreciated.

Tell the OPC to go fvck themselves.
Last time I was at an OPC there was a bloke in there having a screaming argument with the salesman. He'd gone to pick up his new car, and when he'd got there the salesman had told him the deal was off as the trade in had some new stonechips and a mark on a wheel, and they'd only give him a grand less than he'd been quoted. It was "write a cheque or you can't have your new car."
The bloke was a big fella, builder type. He eventually told the salesman to go fvck himself.
No. I am not selling it back to them for the price agreed 4 weeks ago. It has come down slightly since then.
I spoke to them at the start of september & told them I wished to sell it back to them & they gave me a revised figure (£1000 less than previously), subject to the deal being down by an agreed date (today).

Call Porsche GB.
Then sell your car to Henry.
A verbal offer, four weeks on, and it is only a cash transaction (ie you are not buying anything else from them), I don't think you'll get much joy.
However, as they were probably only offering the bottom line trade-in value, why not try a private sale. Someone might get a bargain.
What's the spec and other details?

But that I can't guarantee.
The simple fact is that we agreed a deal & they are now not sticking to it.
Yes, I can keep the car & sell privately, etc, however its just a pain in the arse & not something I wanted to do.
Why can't people just deliver what they promise ?
Would it be worth speaking to Porsche GB customer services ? If so, anyone have a number as I can't find it on thier website.

Why not just sell it to 911virgin. He'll give a better price than Porsche I reckon.The simple fact is that we agreed a deal & they are now not sticking to it.

Was that an agreement, or an offer? Verbal agreements are egally binding.I spoke to them at the start of september & told them I wished to sell it back to them & they gave me a revised figure (£1000 less than previously), subject to the deal being down by an agreed date (today).
If all else fails, take the lower amount (make sure you don;t sign anything waiving your rights, although that might not be binding anyway) then "sue" them using http://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk for the difference.
