And then there’s this:
Large railroad labor unions say they will strike if quality of life is not addressed in new contract
Railroad unions representing half of workers say they will strike unless vacation and sick days and attendance policies, are addressed in a new labor contract.www.cnbc.com
Ha. Easier said than done... Especially on the Railroad. Try hiring anyone for anything right now that requires physical presence at work. The American workforce is a bit of a mystery to me right now.
Even for those who do show up, there's the recent mass 'quiet quitting' movement in the workplace.....
I ordered a ‘23 a couple of weeks ago, dealer wrote it up but said the pricing was not available so he used the ‘22 prices and asked me for a deposit to guarantee that price. I also have an x-plan number, but now I suspect that pricing will be based on the ‘23 invoice and may actually be higher than the ‘22 price he gave me. Hmmm.
If he accepted payment from you in return for an order with a specified guaranteed price and does not plan to honor that guarantee, you should have him cancel the order, return your deposit, and head (run) to another dealer. I would also file a complaint with corporate, and see if they might be able to offer a price accommodation.
I have a different view, especially as it relates to your advice to "file a complaint" and "cancel the order." WannabeMtb has an X plan PIN so he'll be paying 3-4k less than whatever the pricing on his 2023 order ends up being so he's ahead of the game. This is a sellers market and Dealers sell the cars. "Corporate" does their best to supply them and support them.
Wouldn't he get that same discount if the dealer honored the '22 price? if so he's out ~$3.5K from that 'guaranteed' price. If he goes to another dealer he only loses a couple weeks from his current order.
