    So is this thread just for the new Q3 confirmed prices? Confirmed prices will only be available on Monday when they are published on the Motability website. There is no need for them here. If you are talking about the leaks of Q3 prices between now and Monday, there is already a thread for that. Or is it for any dealer ‘deals and offers’ during Q3 such as dealer AP contributions, cashback or other special offers, because these wouldn’t come under the banner of confirmed prices.

    You have misunderstood in several respects. As stated, this thread is just for confirmed Q3 prices, not offers as they appear on a separate thread. There aren’t any threads that I could see for confirmed Q3 prices, just some speculative talk which is very different and results in a lot of clutter. Secondly, it can sometimes be the case that forum contributors get hold of certain manufacturer price lists before they go ‘live’ on the Motability website. For example, @BigDave is very good at this. Some dealers post them early (probably in error). Last quarter there was virtually nothing released early, but in previous quarters we have seen as many as half a dozen different manufacturers new price lists before the quarter change date. Finally, the Motability website is notoriously unreliable on the first day of the quarter change. It often doesn’t update until late morning and, when it does, there are usually omissions. It tends to take a day or two before it settles down. The idea is that people will post manufacturers price lists here as they appear (or links to them) as they are much easier to follow than the information that appears on the Motability website (and often more accurate)

    Those are the reasons why I started this thread. The hope was that it would just be confirmed price info, but you questioning the validity of it has already scuppered that plan!
