Hi has anyone had this happen whilst trying to buy a new cvan?
Go dealers, for a look around, see van, jaw drops as I see a gorgeous van. Go sit with salesman he gives a total price to change, I go away and think about it (tell hubby). I ring back, salesman busy, so speak to someone else who then tells me the same deal is now £2,000 more expensive! What Eh you are defo 'avin a larf".
Shame as this company seems to have a good reputation and now I refuse to go near them and will get the same van elsewhere for a FAIR price.
We live and learn.

Did you get a printed quotation, as such a document would stand for a week or so I would guess.

If the quote was verbal, then I guess the price can change either way.

I think it's known as salesman's licence unless written down.

I completely agree with you that a salesman can and will say what is required. Its a standard caravan available elsewhere, so im afraid its their loss. Buyer always beware......

Salesman A may have been keen to hit his monthly target so gave a good deal, 2 weeks later and into a new month or targets hit and salesman B having hit his target so not so good a deal on offer.

If its the caravan you want then speak to the original salesman, you may get the original price. Its possible that the sales person you spoke to had a customer who was also interested in the caravan.
