I doubt if he's trying to stiff me - what does he gain from getting the money two weeks early?  Interest rates are crap.  He may however be mistaken, or simply concerned to cover his backside just in case.

Targets  :wink:

You wouldn't believe what dealerships will do to meet targets let alone what the brand themselves will do!!!  :shocked:

Oh and just for the record, VW increase there prices every 6 months generally, just in time for the plate changes!!

Just read the small print on my contract:

"In the event of the retail price being increased the Purchaser agrees to pay the seller the amount of the addition or additions to such retail price, unless, within 14 days after receipt of such notice, he give notice to the Seller that he declines to do so, in which case the Seller shall have the option, by notice in writing to the Purchaser, to cancel this contract, and the deposit shall be returned to the Purchaser."

So there ya go!

Hah!  I haven't got a written contract, I sealed the deal over the phone.  Sounds as if my dealer might have been right, and was giving me early warning of how to get round it.

I have just spoken to my dealer and he has confirmed that there will be price increase of 3% in September but my car that is due in September will not be affected because its price protected.  I ordered in June and I dont have to pay the remaining balance until I take delivery of the car

Sounds as if different people have slightly different deals.  Makes sense for everyone expecting a September delivery to check with their own dealer.

From my point of view, paying up a couple of weeks early is no skin off my nose, and even if it is as much to help the dealer with his quota then I'm not bothered.  I got such a sweet deal from that garage that this would be a petty quibble.

It is the 1st Dec as it stands now... They want it delayed until the 31st Dec to aid Christmas trading...

Weird, the Bank of England is one of our clients, I'll send them a memo on Monday to advise that dubcruiser knows better.
