im still hopin that we get delivery in sep, even if i have to collect my car 11:59pm on the 31st of september 
coz having to pay £750, its just stupid....its not a matter of i cant afford to pay the £750 when im buyin a 35k+ car, its just that when a price has been agreed.....it should stay agreed.....ppl who place an order now should be paying the price increase not me!

Your purchase order should list the price for the vehicle. The dealer is legally bound to honor the contract. I'm not sure what your salesman's been smokin', but it is having a profound effect on his judgement.

US dollar is too weak (vs. Euro dolloar).
I had to spend more USD on my vaction in Europe this year.
1 USD = 0.896740 EUR = 1.75395 DEM on 8/19/2003
one year ago
1 USD = 2.0018 DEM on 8/19/2002
I think the price should go up to 14.13% in order to reflect the exchange rate.
for a USD 50k+ German car, you should pay at least 7000 USD more next year. Because economy is too bad in US, mbusa actually absorbs most of loss in exchange rate for selling cars.

Price increase will be 3% max. DC leverages the Euro against other world currency (invests in other currency) to offset a particular strong or weak year for the euro or US dollar. This is why any price increase will be a fraction of the dollar's weakness.
