[QUOTE="Madlock, post: 13049798, member: 111289"] To adjust for everything from component and assembly costs to an additional premium to reflect market demand. Rarely does a model year go by without some sort of interstitial price hike. It affects vehicles invoiced (to the dealer) for build on or after a particular date which, in this case, seems to coincide on or about being scheduled after April. Whether or not its a cost that will be passed-along to you is ENTIRELY based upon the terms you negotiated with your dealer - a fixed price, or dollars above/below invoice/SRP. In this neck of the pricing woods, $150 is about as negligible as price increases get. And yes, it will surely happen that a given dealer will have two identically-appointed '14 GT500s in its showroom with a $150 price difference on the sticker. And since these increases are generally included in the base price of the vehicle (as this one is) whose gross margin is usually about 7%, more than 90% is passed along straight to the dealer rather than higher-margin options which tend to run in the 15-17% range. How hard you press for $150 on a $60-$70K transaction is entirely up to you. [/QUOTE]
