Price rise EU?

[Novemberwhisky]

My dealer in Spain tells me the price is going up 6% across all models from 1 Feb.

Damn, 6%? Really?

 

[tchavei]

I bloody hope not. Since there's no MY change they can't change current orders I assume.

Let me check my contract.

Edit: checked contract. Second paragraph states "listed prices of model and options subject to change as specified in the order sheet"

So then I go to the "order sheet" and there's nothing regarding changing prices.

The wording is utterly confusing.

Yeah, we might be screwed.

I feel like MSRP increases are for the following model year usually, not in the middle of the model year. i could be wrong though.

I had the same idea and they try to compensate a bit like they did when they increased the price between MY22 and MY23 (android integration was a paid option, then became included in MY23). Anyway, if they're going to raise the price, I'm going to be mad.

I did negotiate a little over 5% discount but meh. You don't change prices in the middle of the model year ?

The implication from my guy is an order before the change is at current prices. Not seen the detail - meeting tomorrow to pick up a Turbo for test drive. Hoping if I plonk the deposit down and sign before feb 1 then all ok. Kind of takes the wind out of my sails with any discount negotiation.

I ordered from Portugal. Same Porsche Iberia SA as you.

Haven't heard a word from the dealer regarding this but I expect a call before February 1st because of my freeze date (to confirm options). Let's see if he says anything.

I did negotiate 5.56% so let's hope he doesn't screw me over.

It may depend on different markets, but Porsche honoured the price of the car on the day that I got a commission number/allocation. Not deposit time, allocation time.

The price rose a few thousand € after that but the original price was honoured.

So if you want to be sure, ask your dealer is it deposit or allocation time the price locks. Get it in writing if you have to!

Yes. Good advice. Thanks.

Same for me.
Price I paid was on the order when I fixed it on receiving an allocation. Because of the 12V battery shortage it was 8 months before i got the car but the price was what it had been when the spec was frozen which was nevertheless more than when I placed the order and deposit 9 months prior to the allocation.

This happened to me and unless it;'s locked and headed for build you will unfortunately get hit with the new price - I complained and got a few freebies

It should lock next week, before Feb 1st. At least that were the expectations last month.

You should be OK then - fingers crossed for you.

I got hit with the price hike, but by the time the order was locked it was on the new model year.
