Just checked with Brownhills regarding my notorhome ordered in August 2007. Thet are not upping the price
WingPete also said "I also had the wind up on this thread, and spoke to Brownhills today, who confirmed, no increase. Thay have absorbed it rather
than lose customers."
But not a word of congratulations for Brownhills, everybody's always quick to criticise but when they act honourably, or maybe they got they've got the sense to buy forward or fix their prices.

I think that is a fair point.
I did look again at the Carado on their stand, which is stunning value for money, and asked the question.
Salesman confirmed that prices would be held on those already ordered
and that they are now £1000 more than last October.
As Hymer has now put their name on the back (Carado by Hymer) I think that these vans look a hell of a bargain.

THIS IS LES1
I have ordered a carado from Brownhills in Oct 2007 with a delivery date of March 2008 It hasn`t happened its now due for May 2008 Dont`t hold your Breath. I have been told that no right hand drive Carados have been built yet. Think very carefully before you buy one

Just been advised that my new european van ordered in september 07 from a UK dealer for a spring 08 delivery has been built and is ready to ship to the UK but the dealer is not prepared to pay for it until the euro improves against the pound

Fascinating (well for me, in my detached position; not the sort of word you'll be uttering I imagine. My commiserations).
I suggest you establish your bottom line with your dealer. What does he undertake to deliver you by when? What is your position if the van is 1 month late? 2 months late? Etc.
In advance of any negotiation, I suggest you think carefully about what you want, and realistically would hold out for. Don't bluff.

I think you will have a long wait for that to happen, if they gave you a date/month remind them that if they miss that date they are in breach of contract and you will expect some compensation or damages for your loss.
I would be surprised if the dealer has not committed or forward purchased his Euros which is common practice, the rate in Sep 07 was 1.437 mid month, today 1.247 so approx 13% increase on his cost price, not your purchase price, has he had a deposit from you from your initial order, if so he has been able to use that for free or if he paid the manufacturer a deposit (unlikely) the amount of increase would be reduced.
Who is the dealer

No I think it will fall to £ to 1.00 yes one for one !!!
and then this government will take us into the euro, a nice little 30% devaluation for us and no say in it.[/quote]
Exactly my thoughts over the last couple of weeks

I find this amazing! The dealer has a contract with you and is saying that he is not prepared to honour it unless something happens which presumably is not mentioned in the contract.
At least my dealer had the courtesy (sense) to write to me explaining the Euro situation and offering to share the misery with both me and the manufacturer. Which we have now done, and I have the van.
Only you know how you feel about that particular van (is it the only possible choice for you) but I would be very inclined to cancel.
There is always another van-However I appreciate the time scale now comes into it.
Best of luck
