deposit for a car...

[dan no1]

when i ordered my new car from Vauxhall, they wanted �500 deposit, i said i couldnt afford this so i couldnt order the car. i said i could give them �100 and they said this was fine. so deposit paid and car ordered...or so i thought. i came to the pick the car up the other day and after signing everything and handing over the keys to my old car, they demended �400, the outstanding balance - the rest of the required deposit. they didn't say i was to pay this at the time of ordering - i think i would know if i had 400 to pay. but i had to pay it or they wouldn't give my my car. and if u seen this car, you would have paid it too!!!
were they right to do this???
thanks

well if you had to pay and you did, you obviously had the money then didn't you

yeah i had the money and yeah i can afford the repayments. if i couldn't, i wouldn't have taken out the car, would i?!

i just didnt have the �500 for the deposit there and then. my question is, if i already paid a deposit (of �100) is it right for them to ask me for the rest after i have the car.
