BMW knew the car would be delivered in Spring 2015 when I ordered it at the quoted price last year. But they are retrospectively applying a planned future price increase (March 2015) to my car now.
The dealer also said that if it were being built a single week earlier then I would have avoided the price increase.
The dealer blames BMW.
I was wondering whether anyone knows anything about this despicable and unfair practice? Any advice? |
Whoa that sucks. The base price jumped 5000£ on the UK configuration website and they have no obligation to maintain a price they have no control over. The base price of a SLS jumped $8k between when I placed an order and when it was built, I had to take it on the chin.
