I don’t like what politicians are imposing on us, as it was all avoidable, but the price increase will probably improve the current imbalance of demand/supply.
Porsche will most probably still shift all the tin they can get over the moat, unless we hit a recession!
10% price increase ?
The Price which attracts the (still only potential “IF” ) tariff is the ex works price which Porsche Germany charge Porsche UK (I’m ignoring the delivery charge as I’m not sure exactly where this fits in and what proportion is EU transport vs UK transport)
The dealership will get a “base” margin of probably 8% on this plus an additional 2% + 3% retro quarterly based on many, many, many performance criterea.
So, yes, the increase due to tariffs will potentially increase the dealer’s £ margin but yes, then have 20% VAT added to make the retail price (as it is currently)
My best guess, IF no deal and IF UK gov impose tarifs etc etc, would be Porsche Germany absorbing a bit, Porsche UK absorbing a bit and the dealers getting a reduced margin to keep the retail price competitive to the market, all if the preceding depending on what all the other manufacturers do......

BMW obviously think it makes it worthwhile to produce all its X series vehicles in South Carolina even though EU countries have to levy a10 % import tariff on each vehicle imported.

....and because nobody really knows......
Leave supporters have dismissed fears over tariffs on imported cars, arguing that German manufacturers would oppose such an obstacle to one of their biggest markets.

Naturally German manufacturers will try to oppose trade barriers, but Brexit with no-deal calls for WTO arrangement and import duty would be administered by HMRC not EU, hence all the uncertainty in the industry.Paul wrote:....and because nobody really knows......
