Base price went up in the last week or two

[CarGuyOhio]

My WS showed up today and with a price increase.

So when did it happen? @KnightMare your wS is what, a couple of weeks old? Was it the 69 number of this number?

I noticed that too. I wonder why, since it was only $200.

Gas goes up, product goes up, hmmmmm? Change is on the way....

 

[CarGuyOhio]

This happens often where a base price will go up mid-year. With that said...

If a dealer orders a truck, has a POC and the POC says the old price should the manufacturer not honor that price? If I order a car part from a vendor, the price goes up while I am waiting on it to ship I still pay the lower price, just saying.

In the end, none of us are going to cancel or bitch too much about $200 on a 70K base vehicle but it is odd how some things do not follow the "norm".

The C8s just got a 1000 base price increase mid year but they are crediting back people who had their orders in prior to the announcement. I'd imagine inflation, gas prices, operation cost increases are impacting this one.

I noticed that too. My POC and window sticker list the base price as $200 more

I noticed it too. Sucks but won't keep me from buying the truck.

Because they added a couple more bolts

I’m going to threaten to walk.

Look at the very bottom of your POC in fine print... it basically says pricing is subject to change

They gotta make money to pay for those 84 hour work weeks

I bet it was a month thing then. Maybe it took effect March 1.

@tripleB You see base price increases starting in March on WS's?

 

[jonny_pockets]

$200 on 93k isn’t much but it’s also not our fault these trucks were so delayed being built

It’s my wife’s birthday today so we are out to lunch and shopping. I’ll check all stickers when I get home though. I only made forum member data available to my phone so I can’t easily access everything right now.

However, it is not a month break or the ViN break. There and 90XX VINs at the new $70195 base and there are trucks built in Feb that are also at the $70195 price as well. When I can look at all stickers maybe something else will stand out.

 

[SpamSpamSpam]

Guys, really?! Of course it went up due to insanely high delivered quality.

 

[HeliPilot]

Maybe they’re planning ahead to pay for dealer PDI’s!!

A very belated Happy Birthday to your wife. Is she still enjoying you new toy? Cheers

I will pass that on, thank you! She is, but not as much as I am. Still cant get her to drive it and she always has an excuse, along the lines of its too new right now, its raining outside, its too dark now, etc. Then when it was a perfectly sunny clear day on her birthday and I handed her the keys it was, "no way, its my birthday and I want to relax while you drive me around!" Now she will at least tell me to drive fast on occasion so she's coming around! It goes much better if I warn her first instead of just surprising her though, we caught a little air across some railroad tracks and she immediately was grabbing for the seat belts, saying there weren't enough in the truck and telling me she wanted 5 points harnesses like I have in my RZR
