So after much thinking and test driving a few cars, I settled on a Leon yesterday and stuck a deposit down, a March 2015 1.4TSI 150PS FR with 14500 miles to be precise.
I looked over the paperwork last night after coming home and noticed they had sold me an extra 12 months warranty. Now this was under the premise that I was going for finance before I decided I would be going for cash which was explicitly stated before we shook on the deal. So I called them up today and the salesman said that if I cancel the optional 12 month warranty which was £329, I would be left with only the remaining manufacturers warranty ie 1 month, until March 2018 and there would be no warranty after that.
The reason I looked at that car was because it stated on Autotrader it was a Seat Manufacturer Approved vehicle and would come with 12 months warranty, 12 months roadside assistance and a 102 point check.
When I mentioned to the salesman today he said it wouldn't have the Seat approved used warranty etc. and said the vehicle was not directly sourced from Seat meaning it is not a Seat approved used vehicle even though it says so on Autotrader.
What should I do? I'm thinking of calling Seat UK customer services tomorrow as it's closed now, and stating that this dealership has misled me and not adhering to what the vehicle was advertised on Autotrader as being a manufacturers approved used car. I took a screenshot of the advert on Autotrader before it was taken down if that helps, should I also complain to trading standards or any other services out there (suggestions welcome) about the fact that they have basically misled me into buying the car or would it be my own fault for not asking for clarification before handing down the deposit. I'm due to collect the car on Monday 5th February.
