hi thanks as far as i was aware they have it in stock they said it should not take more than 4 weeks ,,i wait to see if any one else has done this before ,,they said if it doesnt work out for any reason they will refund the money ,,I paid a minimal deposit ( I think £1000?). They didn’t ask for any more but it was 4 years ago and things may have changed. Did they give a reason why they needed more money if you have already paid a deposit? Is it refundable if you need to cancel for any reason……? How long is delivery date?
I’m not sure why they would need money to register vehicle if it is in stock for example. If they don’t have it how can they register it?
If it’s a long delivery date and the trader were to go into receivership etc then you may lose your money.
I think I’d be asking why they were asking for this after a deposit was already paid? Other members may have more up to date dealings as to deposits they have paid etc.
Sounds a bit dodgy. Maybe they need your money to help with a cashflow issue. I'd hang on to your money. They don't need funds to do a registration.hi thanks as far as i was aware they have it in stock they said it should not take more than 4 weeks ,,i wait to see if any one else has done this before ,,they said if it doesnt work out for any reason they will refund the money ,,

not getting any extras fitted ,,On last van that was in stock we paid 5k deposit but that covered them to add the extras we negotiated.
On our new one we pick up in a couple of weeks we also paid 5k deposit and I didn't quibble but I know lots on here pay less. But also the dealer is going to fit extras so it covers them as well.
I wouldn't pay extra to register it thats part of their costs.
thanks ,,i just said to them i will not pay them ,,after they asked for £1000 over a week ago to register it they called this morning asking for another £8000 to register it ,,they said dont worry this is normal practise ,,?Any deposit should be put into an Escrow account controlled by a solicitor with strict parameters as to when the funds should be released to the dealer or returned to the depositor.
If the dealer will not agree to such terms do not part with the money, particularly £8,000.

hi just said if they cant register it without the £9k total they asked ,,just return my £1000 and i will keep mine, they said ,,(no problem ) ? looks like i wont be getting my new van ,,Don’t do it… what are they going to say..? We’re not selling it to you if you don’t..
Tell them they’ve had £1000 deposit which would cover the registration.. have they never heard of COD..
Doesn’t sound good for any warranty issues in the future does it….

dealer has now said (alan kerr) that they will register it with £1000 i paid ,,I paid 10% for our first new van (only 40K a few years ago)
But they only wanted a grand (Alan kerr) for my last new one 2 years ago.
thanks lenny was waiting for your answer ,,they have said there happy to proceed with the £1000 deposit ,,? maybee just trying on to see if i would pay ,,?he one we have on order is £120K we have paid a £500 refundable deposit, had 3 new vans in the past never put down more than £1000.
Just remember a deposit should be no more than you are prepared to lose if things go wrong.
In that case I would take the approach of the favourite resident builder and offer a pound a week until it arrivesThe one we have on order is £120K we have paid a £500 refundable deposit, had 3 new vans in the past never put down more than £1000.

However, and just to remind you, look at all the work you need to do to get them finished though!....... had 3 new vans in the past never put down more than £1000.
Devon conversions have a couple of fiat autos available on their website for conversion if any of their layouts suit you.Consort ask for £8,500 deposit on a new PVC so that’s about 10%. Not that I was looking of course! Mind you they only seem to be building on preowned Peugots and we’d only be interested in a new Fiat Automatic. I wonder if supplies will ever improve or will these smaller companies go out of business. Not everyone wants a manual. I’d be happy but Nick’s knees wouldn’t cope.
Thankyou but we have looked at them in the past but the Aztec XL which is on the 6.4 metre LWB has a funny extra bit on the garage which makes the kitchen really small with no worktop otherwise I think we’d be racing up there!Devon conversions have a couple of fiat autos available on their website for conversion if any of their layouts suit you.
