Will the order price be held if delivery is delayed?

[Les burrows]

I wonder when all new deliveries will have the modified breather as standard ?
Maybe waiting a bit longer will prove advantageous.

That's what I'm hoping together with software updates and a modified undertray.

To be fair, it is the software that is driving me mad!!!! It seems it is very similar to the ZS, before the update.

I do not understand how MG can release a brand new car, but with seemingly the same software as a car two years younger, where known issues were sorted . Crazy / bam-boozerling.

Well you are all probably right but, will the currant price hold while you are waiting I have my doubts, MG know they are on to a good thing with this one and they are bound to get as much as possible from it and who can blame them, we have one a SE SR and I to to concerned at the leak which I have not found yet, or the bulging tray which we do have, they will get sorted as for and updates if any
that also will be done at the first service or earlier if it is needed that much IMHO.

Well, I placed my order in August and would expect, whenever it arrives, the price agreed at that time to be honoured. If that proves not to be the case, then I refuse the car and demand my deposit back.
Should I expected to pay any more than agreed, after waiting so long for a delivery, I'm more than happy to keep using petrol.

I'm the same. Placed my order end of September with a £500 deposit

My order form states this in section 6. alterations to price

The goods are sold subject to the manufacturers recommended price ruling at the time of delivery of the goods to the purchaser. The purchaser shall in any event pay all car tax and value added tax

I would hope my dealership would abide by the price at point of order placement but they do have the above clause. Then it all comes down to the morals of the dealership.

Some may not care as there will be queue behind us willing to pay the going rate unfortunately.

I checked my order form and it has a similar clause, albeit phrasing it as an agreed increase.

Sorry Alan, I do not agree with your statement re: Morals.

I would argue, that should a dealership be supplied a car for sale after the initial RRP, yet by the time the car was available for sale, the wholesale price had gone up, then I believe it would be morally wrong to insist that the seller covers all the increased charges that the wholesaler has bestowed upon the buying chain.

Why is it ok for a dealership to suck up a manufactures increase in costs, for them not to pass that on to the customer?

If I ordered a loaf of bread from my local bakery for a seven day delivery, and should there be a percentage increase in this loaf of bread in the meantime, I would expect to pay the increase, or go without bread.

Disagree away...

 

[Harry 17]

Disagree away...

I would, by the way, accept and agree, should the deal you have signed and agreed that they would be no price increases. I may have missed that from your post. ?

 

[Sloucher]

It seems that I have a much fairer contract then.

My contract documentation reads:
"in the event of the manufacturer's or concessionaire's price for the Goods being increased , the amount of such increase which the Dealer intends to pass to the Customer shall be notified to the Customer. The Customer shall have the right to cancel the contract within 14 days of the receipt of such notice. If the Customer does not give such notice as aforesaid, the increase in the price shall be added to become part of the contract price."

Nowt wrong with that. IMO

 

[Lovemyev]

But in this case, you are the seller, not the consumer (upon selling the vehicle).

I think you‘re missing @Lovemyev ’s point.

Hi @Harry 17 it's not worth disagreeing on this point really.
A consumers view point will be different, to somebody who worked on the inside of the motor trade I guess .
Sorry for crashing in on the thread folks.

It is a forum, and we all have opinions.

On this one, I did not agree with our Site Guru. No harm done and nowt meant by it. Not upset, I would wager our Site Guru is not upset either.

Having discussions is healthy and every one of us drifts off topic now and then ?. Would be bloody boring if we did not ?

hopefully we all learn something every day. ?

That actually complies with the law (Consumer Rights Act) ... if one party wishes to vary the terms of an agreed contract then the other party is allowed to cancel the contract without penalty (if they don't agree with the variation) - as price is a core term of contract then trying to change it (for whatever reason) without agreement would be a breach of contract.

Well guess what, I agree with you both about expecting to pay the price at the time that you placed the order for your vehicles, so I apologise for the miss understanding that led me to comment about a possible price increase in my post #874, which might/might not happen, if you where to hang back on in ordering a vehicle, but in my defence neither of you in your posts at, Sloucher #870, and Ian key #871, mentioned that you had already placed orders with a dealerships, that I did not know you had done so, you where saying in your posts maybe we should wait until these problem have been sorted out, so I then tried to advise you to be careful of a possible price increase.

That was my reasoning for trying to be helpful had I known you already had orders pending with dealer I would not have written my post #874.

Dont forget that in order for the contract to be 'binding' the contract needs to be signed by both parties. Verbal means nothing.

Not technically correct - an oral contract can be just as binding as a written one. The difficulty comes in proving an oral contract exists.

How much is the price increase does anybody know ?

Agreed or is as stated, just ask my wife....you said you would fix it on Wednesday...me, yeh but I didn't say which one. Then ensues a contractual disagreement

so it means nothing

Nope - just more difficult to prove, not impossible.
