Price increase

All suggestions here good. You have a binding signed agreement. lawyer if necessary, Call GD and report dealer. But if it were me, I would cancel order from this dealer. He has shown he is not honest and you will probably have issues with him down the road should you need there service. Say good-by. You hold the cards for a deal with any other dealer as you are will to pay cash with no trade in.

Wanted to post an update on the $10,000 price increase......received a call today from the dealership where we have our ordered GD Momentum 395MSR and they have honored our agreed upon price!!!! Thank you GD for stepping in and helping with this situation! It is so great to know that Grand Design not only stands by their brand, they also stand behind their customers! Our unit is supposed to come off the line this week and should be at the dealers within a couple of weeks!

Thanks for posting the update. Great outcome! So glad for you and your family. PTL, Frank.

Just received a call from the salesman who made the order for our new GD Momentum 395MRS. He is telling us that with the increase in price from GD, that the Momentum price has gone up roughly $10,000! Now our Momentum is due to come off the line on May 3 (Monday). Now our agreed upon price is no longer valid and we will have to pay the additional money if we want the Momentum! We do have paperwork stating the price we agreed upon when ordering, but wanted to see if anyone else who had ordered their Momentum had this issue. We placed our order the first of Feb. and was give May 3 date of completion. Where do we stand with this order? My thoughts are NOT to pay the increase and see what happens. We did put a large deposit down when we ordered and this is to be a cash deal. Is this even legal? Need some advice please! Also, the dealer knew we would be paying cash for the RV and we put down a $10,000 deposit. Our Momentum 395M was ordered on Feb. 10, so well before the price increases came about. This is a dealership in Arkansas. I have posted this on Facebook GD Momentum page, just wanted to see if anyone else has run into this situation? Thanks.

There is a clause in contract law called Force Majeure that is being used on a daily basis these past few months. Shortages of raw materials and super high demand has caused price increases in just about every industry. It’s legal for them to invoke the price increase. Good for you for standing your ground.

That would not apply to a price increase! It would for things like missing a delivery date because of acts of God that caused part delay or something such as that. Increasing a price after a contractual agreement is just bad timing for GD! A price increase is not out of their control!

I tried to tell some people on here a few days ago, that GD had more clout with the dealers than some wanted to admit!

We were told up front by our dealer that prices were going up and if we ordered now we wouldn’t be subject up the increase. This was back in March. We ordered and our fifth wheel also came off the line on May 3rd. They are sticking to what they promised with no increase.

It would be interesting to see how the Sales Agreement addresses possible price increases after the deposit is accepted. There should be a paragraph that states the rights of the purchaser regarding pricing in such a circumstance.

We've had our eye on a Reflection 295rl (we currently own a tt from a different manufacturer). When we first went to the local GD dealer, we were told that prices were increasing 7% on 5/1. We want dual pane windows and will most likely need to order them to secure them. On 4/30, the sales manager of the dealership called me (we'd been dealing with a brand new sales rep who knew very little about the industry or the product) and he said the price increase would on 6/1 and that it would apply to anything coming off the line after that date even if we order it now. Based upon that, we certainly didn't feel rushed to order.

The comments I've read above indicate that the price should freeze when ordered. If that is true and if the price increase actually is June 1 and not May 1, then maybe we should go ahead and order (if the dealer agrees that the price will freeze). He did say anything coming off after June 1 would be a 2022 model.

Any thoughts on this?
