Isn't that for courts to decide in the specific case(s) mentioned?Does this not point to price fixing?
Sure, but I use it to draw attention to the very little variation in price between many dealers throughout the Country.
I did call to six dealers, three in the Dublin area and three outside of the Dublin area. €650 was the difference I got... (Cash deal - no trade in). Same as on the phone...
I would have thought that for a car value of 30,000 there would have been a bigger price variation but as pointed out with car margin low, and pay rates fixed then I suppose this would constrain the price variation between dealer.
Still, it doesn't leave a lot of room for competition and a lot of option to shop around.
But the prices and rebates etc are set by the manufacturers and their distributors not by individual garages - you would be surprised at how low the margin is on new car sales for some marques
