2017 price rises have started.

[Olderandwiser22]

Ordered my Cayman S 3weeks ago.

Was on the online configurator tonight and some of the accessories have started rising in price.

I will have a look tomorrow to see what has jumped in price and will post in this thread.

I have got my new Boxster a week ago. Lucky that I have changed the sport twin tailpipes for £377 (Tequipment price) before collection because it now costs more than £480.

And so it begins.....

On the 718 Cayman S:

Sport Chrono Package including mode switch QR5 Old Price £ 1,416.00 New Price £ 1,514.00

That's all of 7% (or £3.3k applied to my Cayman spec). Could, and quite probably will get worse. Didn't vote for Brexit, but little choice but to "suck up" the consequences, good (eventually, I hope) and less good (just now). I work for a business that imports. We are doing the same to our customers. It's how it is!

I'm confused my options came to just over 10k and none of them have changed in price didn't spec sports chrono so can't vouch for that

Just checked configuration my spec price has not changed????
Check your order ave to give you 21 days notice of price increase and you likewise to cancel !🙁

I've got an order for a new Cayenne that is being built in Jan....initial deposit paid but not "locked down" yet. If they try and impose price rises I'll walk away, there are plenty of used cars around and I got rather carried away on the box ticking so there's plenty of margin in it. One of the reasons I was happy taking a hit on buying new was because price rises have to come and I think when the new Cayenne comes out it'll be a decent amount more expensive.

And don't forget the extra cost of VED that will be coming in next for expensive cars that will be lobbed on top of the purchase price. No matter how low the emissions are. Government now showing their true colours...only interested in what revenue they can get...using VED to get manufacturers to reduce emissions and encouraging people to buy them was just a smoke screen.

VW have to make back the money they've been fined somehow. The good old brexit cash cow is the in thing.

And the increase on insurance premium tax - 12% from next June, on a compulsory product for motorists . . .

Having being told car due December it's now Jan 2017 any additional price increase I will also walk away 😡

I have just re-configurated my 718 Boxster, which left the factory on Monday, and it came out the same price.

The only upside (if there is one from the VED hike) is the promise - if politicians' promises can be believed - that for the first time all the receipts raised by VED will be ploughed into road improvements.

I cannot believe it

I checked my Cayman and the price hasn't changed?

[Olderandwiser22]

It's the sports crono package that has upped my spec price.

I take it because my car is on Porsche order books and I have a contract now for the agreed price I'm immune from any price increases?

You are not immune until the car has left the factory and been invoiced to Porsche GB.

There is no way that can be right😳.

Can anyone else confirm this?

If this is the case I might pull my order.

Its right unfortunately. Check the small print of your order form. Its buried in there somewhere.

To be honest if a price rise on sport chrono is the extent of Porsche's price rises I'll be pretty pleased! We can only hope!
