car dealer part exchange, demanded more money after we obtained our new car

[icemanwayne]

appologise if i have placed this in the wrong part but i can't seem to navigate round this web site to find car dealers section, if poss can you move it to right section please.

 

Here goes

7 months ago we part exchanged a car which they gave us 2100.00 . we had purchased the car 9 days earlier and hated it. they never asked to look at the pat ex and simply they ticked the checklist to say they were happy with it and we did the deal,they asked us the history and milage and we told them exactly what was on the documents, after a few hours of taking delivery they found a problem with the mot which they said had been messed with, not know to us and the car had actually done 230000 miles and not the 89000 which was on our mot.they asked us to pay extra 900 and at the time because the finnace was inplace and we had took delivery of the new car i simply paid and asked them if it was worth reporting to police they refused and said they would simply retest it and resell it out cheaper.now 7 months as passed and after a recent conversation i was lead to beleive i did nothing wrong and they admited on paper work ticking all the check list and even ticking the box that says part ex driven and milage checked, so is it possible to request my 900 extra payment ? after all they failed to do there job right or should i simply put it down to experiance.

thank you
