I was supposd to take delivery of a new IS200 SE on Saturday. Since my part-ex is taxed to the end of this month it worked out just nice. Until the dealer (Lexus Manchester) called me today to say they will not have the car until Monday.
To avoid having to tax my current car they suggest I take it in on Saturday and they will loan me an IS until mine is ready.
Sounds OK, but I'm handing them a car worth (to me) £9000, and they are *loaning* me one.
I know they are a big-ish dealer group (RRG, also have Toyota franchises in the North West) but is this safe?
Any thoughts, suggestions for legaly binding documents etc would be very welcome.
I'm reluctant to pull out of the deal, as the £9K they are offering for my Golf Gti is £1000 above trade price.
