Ordered A New Car - Now Cancelled

Hi All,

I ordered a new car at the beginning of July, delivery was 14 weeks due to France manufacturing shutting down all of August for summer holidays.

I had a really good deal from a new car supplier, so I put a deposit down, the car was due around the middle of October. I have always had company cars and never owned my own, so I was really looking forward to the day when the car is delivered.

To prepare for the purchase I took out a loan, interest rates are very low in the UK. I was also ready to buy a new car dog crate for this car.

Sometimes I forget to look at my personal emails, could be a few days. On going through them yesterday, I saw an email saying PEUGEOT CANCELLED. The car dealer I ordered my car with said that Peugeot had revoked on their discounts. My car dealer asked Peugeot to honour the price not only me, but other customers that have ordered the same model car.

Peugeot refused and said due to demand they can sell all this model at LIST PRICE. So my car dealer has had to email all his customers (including me) that ordered this model car, cancelling all orders. The car dealer said they have never experienced anything like this before from a car manufacturer.

Do I start my search again, or not bother and keep my old car. One final thing, after getting the car cancellation email, I paid the loan back I took out in full plus £18.00 interest, my first repayment only started on 01st September 2017.

Yes I am a bit gutted, but I suppose you should never take anything for granted until it happens. The only good news my deposit has been returned by the car dealer.

Hope your week has started much better than mine.

Thank you,

John
