Dealership: price at order or delivery?
Discussion
Hello guys,
I'm about to buy a brand new car in a dealership in UK, but the salesperson says he can't make me an offer o quotation. The delivery time is arround 1 year, so I'd expect to have the car sometime in quarter 4 of 2017.
The problem is that he is requesting me a non-refundable deposit to place the order, and says that the final price will be set at delivery, with a very likely increase in price, but without defining it (5, 10, 50% increas?)
This is very uncommon in other EU countries, where you sign de purchase agreement and forget about any possible increase.
Please, any idea of what is going on?

Is it a Mustang by any chance?
When you order you should get a sales invoice confirming the price of the car including all options etc. That should be the price you pay when it's delivered, regardless of when that is.
If you're dealer won't supply that, I'd suggest you try another dealer.

You're being asked to put a deposit on an order with a price which may vary by an unknown amount - perhaps due to currency fluctuations.
If you don't want to do that - and I don't blame you - then they've lost a sale. Buy that car from somewhere else offering a better deal, or buy a different car.
If you must buy that car from there, then that's the basis they're selling it on.
