Car Finance Advice

[PaulMCurtis]

My son (19) purchased a car from a garage and was told that the finance was 180 over 42 months.

On day of purchase, he came home and I read through the stuff he signed and it turned out it was actually 60 months.

They also added Paint Protection which he told them he didnt want.

Anyone know if hes within his rights to withdraw from the finance, or how he stands from a legal point of view.

It depends when this was started. All of them have a cooling off period, but not sure how long this is. Personally, do not know anything which could help you but personaly, try and get a car. If they have already tried it on, as they say - you seen nothing yet. (Not saying the one you have gone to has a bad reputation or stinks like some others etc etc).

 

Have a look on your agreement or paper work, it should tell you how long the cooling off period is.

 

Also if you have to contact them, personally, i would write to them only - I would not contact them by phone.
