Good time to haggle with a dealer.....

Porsche will apply a price change in either August or December IIRC as that's when I'm told they usually do this, so my car will certainly fall foul of this which I knew. What worries me now is although I doubt any Mfctr. will alter prices purely due to the market & currency wobbles being experienced currently, any that are due over the next few months could take this uncertainty into account & the Euro/Dollar situation could be worse come the end of the Summer or at the very least less stable.

I hope the current fluctuations are purely the expected shortcomings due to change & due to the gamblers backing the wrong horse as I guest most assumed we'd Remain, but having a £150k outlay linked to the Euro & with a known price change coming which I can only assume must now have some risk linked to it, certainly makes me feel uncomfortable.

Price changes are the customers responsibility up until the point of delivery according to Porsche.

Ah, yes I can see your concerns now.

I think it is a good time to haggle with your dealer, in fact multiple dealers. Two main reasons, the recent move in currency won't affect anything until much later in the year or even into next year, motor manufacturers and franchises always buy their currency forward so are trading in values that are at least 6 months old.

Secondly and most importantly dealers don't make much money out of actually selling you the car, in all honesty if you are being offered 15% plus discount they will struggle to BE in some cases. Where they make their money is hitting targets with the factory and getting strong bonuses from the manufacturer. With everyone being twitchy now about what the future holds sales may well have dropped off so those all important targets are further away.

It maybe too late but if you wanted the very very best deal I would quickly approach dealers, preferablely the big boys who are likely to be holding stock cars, ask them what they have and what they can deliver by the weekend, it's the end of the quarter Friday and the last chance for sales to be registered. Even into July id say this is a good to push them, they will be panicing..
