Hi I got carried away on the 'good morning Sunday thread' and it made me realise I should ask for the advice from a wider audience. My husband normally buys his car from auctions and has never paid more than £4000 he brings them up to standard and maintains them himself. After a lot of thought we decided that because he was starting to feel the strain of spending time on the damp ground underneath a car we should spend all our merger savings on a good second hand car. It needed to take the strain of around 250 miles a week to and from his job for at least 5-6 years. He did a lot of research and found the car from a main dealer paid the deposit 3 weeks ago. Did a test drive a few days later and gave them a list of a few repairs that needed doing (tracking polishing out scratches, cleaning) he made arrangements to pick it up tomorrow morning and part with £11000 but they've rang to say it may not be ready until late afternoon. He's now started to worry that this level of service doesn't bode well if something goes wrong with said car. Since this is our first experience of buying from a dealer we are not sure if this is usual. We've never paid this amount of cash up front for anything and have found the whole thing stressful rather than enjoyable .any advice?
