thts wat i thought i havehad someone wanting to view it shall i let them there comin from 5hrs away so prob to buy or should i be honourable an sell to the dealer bloke when he gets back

Your call mate..........................

I would honour the deposit, if the other party are that interested they will wait imho

nothing is guaranteed. I would explain the situation to the people wanting to view, then if they come down view and buy it, then just return the deposit to the dealer and apologise.

who is to say that the dealer wont try and knock you down on the price, or cancel the deal/cancel the deposit etc. what if he finds another car at a lower price for his customer. He would be the first person to cut your throat.

thanks guys i let them view would be budging on price and go from there hey-ho

Wait and see if the money comes through

& If you don't get the dosh by Monday whether he's on holiday or not don't hold the car for him

You have to honour the deal with the dealer who's paid the deposit.

How would you feel if you'd paid a deposit on a car and then it was sold to someone else. You'd probably be posting on here calling the seller all the names under the sun.

When I was selling my s2 I had some lad come up said he wanted it put £200 deposit down and he hasnt come back since Freak!!!
