interesting to see an exchange rate fluctuate the price of a car well major manufactures set up funding to hedge the flutcuations, so they can have a set price, But since Morgan are small, and the vehicles are bespoke, yes it makes a difference! Well all I need to do is decide on which dealer I am buying from, and I will go forward! The out of state dealer is super attentive to replying to my emails, The local dealer less so. But the out of state dealers price is $750 higher due to the delivery charges... so i'm torn. Plus I would need to go to the local dealer for service, I cant be shipping the car 5 hours away to the next closest dealer for service.

Id have a face to face with my local dealer about my dilemma, basically saying, "I need their level of communication... Can you guys do better?".

Owning a 3Wheeler you have to have good relations to a reliable Morgan service station... Do not go for best price but for the best deal!

Technically you have three dealers within "relative close" proximity outside of your hometown dealer. Certainly better than most who live stateside. The closest to me is an hour and a half away. Bolton, Ontario - Just under 4 hours North Chicago - right at 5 hours Morgantown - right over 5 hours I have visited the Chicago location. It was nothing special of a location and very much a mechanic shop with a showroom of older cars (mostly british), however the gentleman who owns the place could not have been nicer. Sadly he had just sold the M3W they had in the showroom at the time so I still haven't seen one in person.

Looks Like I will be getting a week 11 build slot! The reality still has not hit me, iv been on the forum, obsessing and learning for 6 months now. Ever since my wife veto'd the Triking, and talked me into buying, not building a car. Something I am sure I will be thanking her for for years to come. I just dont have the stamina, or time I had to build things like I did 30 years ago.
