So my Rubicon has been delivered to the dealer who called me a little earlier. He is telling me that the price has been increased $9000!! Obviously I am not willing to pay that for no reason.

Has this happened to anyone else and what advice may you have??

If there isn't a good outcome, I will very much name and shame. I don't think it's the dealers fault. He has promised to try and resolve it.
Thatā€™s like trying to rob a bank, heading for the door with the money, seeing the cops outside, and then offering to give the money back in exchange for a free pass.

Your dealership: ā€œSorry, we didnā€™t mean to try to steal from you! We only try to steal from people who donā€™t mind being stolen from.ā€
:LOL:

I have $5000 worth of parts sitting on my back deck waiting to be installed and a quote for another $10000 for other items. I just can't dal with a $9000 increase for no good reason! Especially after 8 months of waiting for delivery they hit me with this now it is ready for delivery.

Do you have the original order with MSRP and the window sticker to compare. I'm having a hard time believing $9K. I would believe $3K or maybe $4.5K if a 392.

I have the original sales contract showing the agreed price.

When I purchased mine the price was in the contract. When it got delivered 8 or so months later the prices have all gone up, but I paid what was on the contract. Maybe they changed the contracts now?

I don't understand what legal grounds the dealer has to not honor your sales contract. Isn't that what contracts are for?

Ah... I didn't notice your location. Maybe shipping charges are also affecting along with the MSRP increase.

All Good! Considering we pay way more than you guys in America, I assume shipping costs are part of the overall cost.

Base 3.6 Rubicon price is now $81500 according to the cost they want to charge me now in Australia.
