Price jump

[Kental]

Wow!!!!

Our Corolla Design order beginning of February had a list price of £27355 (with the current road tax price).  In the July pricelist, £29385!!!  Also no 0% currently, is this Toyota's way of managing supply v demand???

[AndrueC]

No. It's Toyota's response to world events.

Inflation, interest rate rises, etc, etc.

Chip shortages.

War in Ukraine.

Gas shortages.

Rampant mutant sheep.

(*)Some of these might not be real.

not mentioned Brexit, people seem to blame it for most things! 😁

Brexit has its tool, but I rather not talk about. Corolla design in 2019 was £25k. Everything is out of place. Cars like mine now worth more than back in 2015 when I bought it 5 years old, now 12 😂👏 . There are  strikes everywhere, perhaps people aren’t so happy. The events that started since 2016 and keep going, the decisions made about environmental issues, health issues, economical interests, well it can’t be the same. Here an interesting video about a country that went properly downhill, perhaps we are all heading that direction and it’s only a matter of time to happen across Europe and even globally.

Which one?? I can only think it's the chip shortage that's not real. Our local chippie shill has loads for sale. They're forever peeling potatoes 😀

Well you always have to be careful of sheep. It's something I'm always mindful of when out walking. The little sods will ave yer 'arm off soon as you turn your back on 'em 😄

What are you talking about you loon?? I bet it's them seagulls that are causing the chip shortage! Noisy flapping buggers will have them right out of the box if you aren't paying attention!!

Reminds me of clip from a certain TV show - search neg's urban sports seagulling on YouTube.

Some of the language used in the clip means I won't post the link here.

Yea I thought the gas prices as a reason looked suspicious.

[Big_D]

The gas is there to cook the chips and rampant sheep pie, and as it's such a good meal, they fighting over it in the Ukraine.

See, it all make sense now 👍
