I’ve just received a phone call from my dealership; Drive MG Darlington, to advise me that the finance deal I have in place for my yet-to-arrive MG ZS Trophy can no longer be honoured as ‘the financial market has changed significantly’ since signing the agreement & Santander can no longer offer the rate anymore.
So now, if I want to keep the car on order, I have to agree to the increase in rate to 7.9% APR.
I have absolutely no comeback on the deal whatsoever. It cannot be challenged. ??
At the moment I feel like telling them to stick the car where the sun doesn’t shine, but I know I will be in exactly the same boat if I go elsewhere, including an extended wait time for a new order…
Feel kinda between a rock & a hard place. But very pissed off ?
Feel like I’m paying an extra for their incompetence ??
