Version 8 of the MY21 brochure is out and there are some massive price increases
All models increased in price by £20. Options remain the same apart from metallic paint up by £10 and retractable towbar increases by £15!
I wonder how much it costs to print the brochures?

I would say that the word ‘massive’ is a bit ott .jamie307 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 10:35 am Version 8 of the MY21 brochure is out and there are some massive price increases

Everything I suspect is subject to a price hike at the moment. The price of a new car increasing by £20 is negligible. The paint price increase is bearable too. COVID-19 has had a big effect on products and production.

I rather think the OP was being a tad sarcastic and was querying Volvo's wisdom in incurring all the admin/printing costs involved for such a trivial increase. That said, if it takes your chosen spec just over the £40k tax threshold it would be a bit less trivial.

XC40 T4 AWD Inscription Pro + Options. Delivered November 2018.
Is the £40k based on price on delivery or price on order? I've got done £650 wriggle room on my order.
Edit, so a total of £10 increase for me, paint is the only cost increase for the packages i've selected. Even the towing value pack has the same price (even though the towbar went up)

Volvo will have what they class as their "base" currency. All prices are based on this. I would assume the Swedish Krona
As exchange rates fluctuate, Volvo will need to refresh their pricing periodically to account for this even if there have been no changes to the spec of the car or cost of production

List price, including options, I'm afraid.Felindre wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 3:08 pm Is the £40k based on price on delivery or price on order? I've got done £650 wriggle room on my order.

No changes at all other than the price changes I specified.
They wouldn't normally reissue a brochure for a 0.05% price increase, but perhaps it was a slow day at the office.

I know list price, but the price listed when placing the order or taking delivery? I'm guessing taking delivery which probably would be HMRC's preferred option, but makes it difficult when your conscientiously trying to stay below the limit, and it takes several months from order to delivery.RonFleet wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 5:46 pmList price, including options, I'm afraid.Felindre wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 3:08 pm Is the £40k based on price on delivery or price on order?
