Price Increase?

ferret99 · Apr 26, 2016

Hi,
Talking to one dealer, he thinks there is a price increase on the way shortly. Does anyone think this likely/unlikely? What time of year are prices for next year's models usually announced?

Thanks,
Chris

I was told the system upgrades are happening now and the new system, options and pricing will be back online 3rd May.

That's consistent with what I suspected. One dealer gave me a quote yesterday tho, doesn't sound like he can go our it then really?

Honor it even...

When I read my order form it seemed to suggest (my interpretation) that price increases also apply to customers who have a vehicle on order and haven't taken delivery. Does anyone have any experience with this and price increases in previous years? Hoping i'm wrong!

I would think they would honour quoted prices - i would be more concerned about them reigning in discounts if they cant make them fast enough. All boding well for residuals i reckon

Last year I ordered one day before the price increase and paid the quoted price.

During my negotiations with the dealer, he confirmed that once the order has been placed the price was fixed provided the configuration was buildable. :thumb

We had an increase in our final price ( I think it was about 1.2%) , the reason given was that the order had not been accepted by the factory in time. I think so long as your order is 100% confirmed your price won't change. New pricing normally starts 1st May.

Is that recently Ady?

Typically only I you order will the price be fixed. As its beyond the dealer to adjust prices of new schemes. A minimal deposit should hold a price as it would be termed an order. Quotes can change and fact the dealer has mentioned it covers them incase it goes up.

Good evening, I've been lurking around the site for a wile but just registered. I was looking for an up todate brochure and came across this. Is it the new one?

That's a European brochure all be it in english as the Coast is not in the uk

After coming across a 2016 price list which showed Orange as one of the colour options I typed in "New California Brochure" to Google and a list came up. That was in the list along with the first one I posted wrongly. The Brochure Combo Cali showed is Dec 2015 so not really current with the latest price list

@Roadrunner: the brochure you linked to says that it was issued in Nov 2015 on the back page, I think it must be the original euro brochure.
