Price Increase
« on: 01 July 2009, 21:56 »
Anyone heard of the price increase to the whole of the VW range by 3%.

While I was checking out prices for the GTI one salesman who was trying his hardest to get me to buy from him (and he was a bit of a c0ck) told me that there will be a price increase in September.

I took what he said with a pinch of salt as he was trying for the hard sell.  Then I was going to ask the salesman who I did order from if his was true but forgot.

Any of you guys heard anything??

In theory, the £ has appreciated in value in recent months so anything being imported should be cheaper.

I own a bike shop and when the VAT was decreased some of my suppliers just increased their prices to keep sensible price points.

We all get shafted in the UK.

Does not seem long since they put prices up.  :sad:
If you order now and have to wait do you get it at old price? or have to pay the rise? Im guessing you state that and get it in writing at time of order.

It will goto 17.5 when back to normal, the economy has not recovered and the risk of us not spending is too great a risk to put it to something like 20%.

If you order now you will not be charged the price increase.  I can remember in Feb sometime my local dealer sent out a letter informing of a price increase and if I were to order a new car before a certain date then I wouldn't have to pay the new price.

I still find it hard to believe that they are increasing prices in the current climate
