With the IG Metal Workers strike going on in Germany and their demands for a 6.5 % wage hike guess who will be paying higher prices for German cars ? The customer of course. Don't be surprised when the 2003 models show a hefty increase in price. Another reason why the current models are a bargain.

 

my dealer said there would be a small increase in price, but he didn't say anything specific. he also said that there wasn't going to be any changes as far as he knew.

 

Interesting how your dealer can comment on prices increases when the strike has not been resolved. Maybe your dealer has ESP and I don't mean electronic stability program.
