I had the conversation with my dealer at time of ordering about the VED. He confirmed that registrations after next April will have a higher Year 1 tax and this WILL be passed on to the customer, no matter what the order says.

He said the order confirms the costs of the car element which cannot change, even with price increases but the tax amount is subject to change. He said this to me and said its in the small print, but i cant say I've checked.

But as you say this if Ford so who knows, always worth an argument i suppose!

Why expect the dealer or Ford to be out of pocket due to a legislation or taxation change set by the government?

My order form terms and conditions includes the following

PRICE
5. The Purchase Price is the price for the Goods, including where applicable accessories, insurance, road fund license, delivery, car tax and VAT, current at the date of the order. If the rate or amount of​

car tax, VAT or road fund license changes between the date of order and the date of delivery, you must pay the amount current at the date of delivery.

Good work, saves me checking and the dealer was actually right!!!

That's correct. My invoice went up by 20 quid I think as the tax had increased. So the tax rise will be passed onto the customer.

You actually got paperwork from Ford:faint:!

Surely price rises, tax increases etc simply requires a little more "man maths" ? I can make anything seem sensible in my head and a total bargain. Its very frustrating when others don't get it. Simply put a £750 price rise is passed on to the next buyer as by then it will be £1500 more expensive new so the buyer is actually getting a bargain making the care very desirable.

A valid argument based on your first sentence... but that £750 alike the other £35000 depreciates equally!

Agreed, you can't argue with "I can make anything seem sensible in my head......"

I was going to put in an order this week until I saw the price increase! Is this because all the orders you receieve are now the MY17 model?

MY17...new registration...Brexit...whatever...
It's not going to get any cheaper, however I guess it might be worth waiting on the refresh info now. Or jumping on one of Andy Barratt's currently available stock. There's always a chance you could get some older pricing on one of those and be in it in a couple of weeks
