davezawadi (David Stone):
It is normally considered that a quotation is a contracted price. If you buy a new car, and you are quoted a price to compare with elsewhere do you expect to be charged more when you say yes? Certainly not.
The devil is in the detail - it will all be in the small print somewhere. That is, of course, if there was a written contract.
A quote may well be an offer: in other words, you offer to install MPBC and ELV for £630. If I accept the offer, there is a contract which is binding both ways.
Concerning the new car, if a dealer offers to sell you a certain model for £15k and you refuse the offer with a view to shopping around, the offer expires. What happens next may be that you offer to buy the car for £15k, but the dealer is entitled to refuse and make a counter offer. Raising the price wouldn't make good business sense, but it might happen.
