had thought the 'European' price was 185,000 Euro (inclusive VAT) but I remember Aero prices increased as well before the cars were delivered. Furthermore when 185,000 Euro were announced VAT in Germany was 3% lower. IMO the dealer is much too smart to offer a car above the list prices in an English magazine that hasn't been built yet. Normally if agents get greedy they sell the cars to friends and offer them for friends... Roderich
Roderich is correct of course. In one country, Morgans are ordered under wine names in the buyer slot.
On residuals, some dealers and owners have recently addressed the company to find ways of keeping the Aero residuals more buoyant. 40% in 2 years is not unusual.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...em=150183212893The Company responded a few weeks ago by proposing the elimination of the Dealer Demo Assistance Package. That will make it much harder for dealers to sell at cars below retail and maybe keep recently sold cars at a higher residual level. It will also save the company money.
Of course, there will be less demonstrators and that will effect sales.
