Brexit deal reached apparently so hopefully AP’s shouldn’t be too bad
Well it would be one less excuse to increase them, but I’ve never been convinced that a deal or no deal scenario would impact AP’s from 1st Jan, especially as they will have probably established all the AP’s by now anyway. It would just be far too early to be able to establish what impact the Brexit outcome would have on prices, given that many tariffs might be offset in part by manufacturers/ dealers accepting lower margins to maintain market share. I would think that it would take until Q2 for the full effects to have washed through to AP’s. I predict that, deal or no deal, a lot of AP’s will go up, some considerably and there will be some pleasant surprises the other way. Ideally, I’d like to see some new cars added and a rise in the price caps, which are overdue, but I have learned to manage my expectations!
Glos Guy, you have taken the words right out of my mouth (and brain). It seems logical that the APs would now be negotiated and ready to launch. I, too, second your last statement regarding additional cars and a higher price cap.
