I realise you must be disapointed Paul, but i guess these things happen and can work the other way with the seller being let down by a prospective buyer. At the end of the day everyone wants the best deal they can get whether buying or selling. I made an enquiry about a vehicle for sale on here that i really liked the look of....i told the owner that i was in the process of selling my car and would get back to him once i had done so to make arrangements to view the car. I sold my car and had funds in place..... I pm'd the guy but after a week he hadn't opened my PM.........He was probably busy with work commitments or whatever....anyway in the meantime I found another car elsewhere and bought it....... i deleted my two unopened pm's i had sent the seller......I still feel a little guilty about not biding my time and waiting for the guy to read my PM's but at the end of the day we need to look after our own interests first. I know this member will have no problem selling his RRS and getting his price anyway...........but my point is these things happen in the buying/selling process...........business is bussiness i guess. You will find another RRS, and maybe even get a better deal in the process. Hope you find your dream car soon. 2010 RRS TDV6 3.0 Autobiography - Stornoway Grey

^^ Agree - no deposit, no real commitment, you could just as easily left him hanging with no sale (not saying you would but that is the scenario). So many times people definitely wanted a rental then they disappear, first deposit is the first commitment.

I'm with Paul if there was a definite deal then I'd have felt morally obligated to stick with it.

Byuing and selling a car from both dealer and privately is a nightmare.

I too agree with PH. A deal is a deal. There is no need to renege once a sale is agreed.

If there is written offer and acceptance then there is a contract I believe. Email is "written" in this context. Failure by either party is breach of that contract. Not that one is likely to take legal action for it in this case of course.

Even a verbal agreement can be binding if certain circumstances have be met, like offer and acceptance...
