This is an interesting article about inflationary warnings and a perspective on outlooks.

Making my new SA build come true!!!

The Feds expect to increase interest rates four times this year so expect to pay higher loan rates. Somehow they think that will slow inflation. It hasn't in the past.

Bringing this back up to gather any feedback. I got the call from my dealer today up here in Canada asking for more cash.

I had a suspicion things would be headed this way back in October, so I pushed the sales rep hard on locking in a price, signing a bill of sale and giving the $15K downpayment to lock in a build spot.

It's only a 4% increase on my Supra SA...but the principal behind it really frustrates me. Any advice, I clearly still want the boat...but doesnt feel fair that the dealer's oversight on taking my money, offering a price on a signed bill of sale, and then coming back 4 months later feels fair as a consumer.

My tactic would be along the lines of:
"This is certainly not going to be my last new boat purchase, (17 mondo, 19, mojo, 22 SA, I see a pattern) but if this is the way you treat your customers after coming to an agreement then this will most certainly be my last new boat purchase from you. You can either screw me out of 5k today or you can make 50 over the next few years when I upgrade, your call."

They have the margin to cover it, whether they will or not is unknown. There are probably other people who would pay for your build slot unfortunately the market sucks for buyers at the moment.

I agree with this approach. My best estimate is that dealers have 30-35% margin on a Supra, not exactly sure on a Moomba.

I think in 2022 they adjusted Moomba number to have a bigger gap b/c Supra and Moomba were so different. Not sure of the exact numbers. But it was done to help the dealers.

Agree with SONIC.

15k is a good some of money for a down payment.

Social media has a mixed bag. Some dealer are honoring the PO and eating the difference. Some are getting the Customer to pay the difference. Guess it depends on volume and build dates. Sort of a split year in 2022:
* AUG to End-JAN has one price this year
* FEB to JULY has the add'l increase.

Are you set on a 22?
Can you get a deposit back OR want to find a 21 out of state with warranty at a decent price? Decent price is hard to find. Plus the Dealer probably would not be too happy with Warranty work when they did not sell the boat.

Doing rough math on what a dealer makes on SC product…..

If a dealer sells 10 Supras and 20 moombas.

10 Supras at appx $30k profit $300k
20 moombas at appx $20k profit $400k

$700k doesn’t seem to be that much.
