Never mind boycotting Esso or BP these guys should be top of the list for withdrawing all their car manufacturing plants from the UK.

So they put up prices by 20% only to reduce them - probably not by 20%.

Shame people don't see the pee take that Ford have been having with over 6 consecutive price increases.

I still can't get over people who are scared to buy from brokers like DTD and prefer to pump thousands extra into their greedy local dealer.

Totally agree, they really have been taking the urine on this one.

"The company blamed last year's four price rises, which started in early 2009, on the burden of the pound/euro exchange rate, rather than any desire to cash-in on the scrappage scheme" Ford Spokesman

Do these guys actually think that any one believes this lie ?

folk must as they flock to the showrooms everytime a "special offer" is on. when in reality the manufacturers have been preparing this offer for the past year or so by increasing the price so they can slash it back down to near normal price.

but i do agree with the idea of getting rrp down nearer to the actual selling price,it will help out company car drivers with thier tax and give folk a better idea of how much they will pay rather than having to battle for a discount in the showroom.
