Help with Garage issues on new motor bike

[shywazz]

Hello all

 

My neighbour bought a new motor bike 125cc, from a local garage,

the cost stated was £1599.00 he paid £100 deposit leaving the balance to be made on collection of the bike.

 

upon collecting the motor bike, the paper-work stated balance due £1399.00 which he paid in full by debit card.

 

upon getting home, the garage owners son telephoned, stating the father had put the wrong balance due on the paper-work,

and that another £100 was payable to gain the full ownership of the sold bike.

 

My neighbour has the receipt for the deposit, also the full balance paid as stated on the paper-work. Price paid £1499.00

 

The garage owners are now refusing to sent the log book of to the DVLA to confirm new ownership, until the extra money is paid.

 

Any help on this issue would be great,

 

I myself have explained, he has the paper-work stating he owns the bike and receipts as per on the invoice.

 

the garage made the mistake and should therefore forfeit the loss.

 

my neighbour wants to pay the extra money to keep the bike,

 

but I've told him to hold back until I make enquires on this issue.

why be a pratt about it,theyve made a mistake,he knows he owes them £100,it aint a game,hes gonna need the garage for warranty etc,just tell him to go round and pay the rest of the money

Pay the money he owes.

 

If something goes wrong with the bike, and for £1599 for a new bike it's going to be Chinese junk and you can bet something will go wrong, your neighbor is going to be at some point asking that garage for help. If he/she screws them now, they are not going to be very helpful.

Thanks, I've just been round to the neighbour with the replies, ball is in the lads court now. Think he will now pay the extra, all be it with gritted teeth.

I very much doubt it's marked on engine size as 125 cc
