    Heard a snippet on the radio this morning which mentioned some form of
    'recommendation' currently being proposed that would result in the
    prices of new cars being reduced by up to a third...

    Just our luck, they'll probably put the prices up in the other countries

    The report suggested that if dealers were allowed the choice of more
    than one "Make" and varied methods of retailing , cars could be
    cheaper.

40.10Ford pricingYUPPY::ELLAWAYMartin Ellaway@hhlThu Feb 06 1992 12:3010
    Not wishing to start a rat hole but as its about car prices here goes
    
    In Autocar and Motor they announced that the golf VR6 will be 19,085
    pounds which is as much as a Cosworth they said, but a Cosworth 28,000
    or so I thought, But they go on to say that the new list price for the
    cossie is 21,380 so by the time you haggle for your 10% discount and
    pay delivery the cossie becomes 19,582.
      On the other hand Ford are asking 15,000 for the XR3i!!!

	If you get the Reading Chronicle and Newbury Weekly news, they have 
	loads of adverts from different garages with "deals"

	One is due out Thursday (today), and one Friday - which can sometimes 
	be available from large newsagents on Thursday evening.
