[WG]

I have learned from OPC that all customers placing orders from 17 Jan will be asked to sign a letter acknowleding that prices may increse by 10% post 29 March ! (Thankfully got my order in before Xmas - phew !!)

Doesn’t really make any difference either you sign something or not, Porsche can increase the price of the car between you ordering and taking delivery, and you can either pay it, negotiate, or not buy the car. Happened to me twice, read the contract, there’s nothing to say they can’t increase the price, in fact I think it says the price can change.

Depends what your dealer is like as to whether you get to negotiate.

Because this brexit increase is a potentially big rise, they are just being upfront and covering their arses by getting people to sign something.

I agree with you re Porsche Price Increases - but I think they are treating this a little differently as it is a rise in duty rather than a manufacturer increase.

Ah I see.

Very uncertain times ahead!
