European Cars

Following my post of 1st November regarding the deteriorating price of the Pound against both the Dollar and Euro these have for the moment stabilised, although they show no sign of returning to original levels.

This does mean that its a little easier to deal with, although clearly prices are well up on those charged about 12 months ago despite a slimmer margin.

Prices for all products and installs are still being held for short periods only and subject to change should the exchange rates change rapidly once more.

I suppose that we had become used to the stability in the markets which had seen very little change in many years against either the Euro of US Dollar. Many companies will no longer be able to hold prices for long, and will have to keep a watchful eye on the rates.

Because of this the prices on the site will be very limited. If you have a specific requiremnt then please contact us and we will do our best to give you the very latest prices at the time of your call or email, or for a guide accuarate at start of February 2009 please click here.

Like most air suspension specialists we import many of the parts we sell. Most of these transactions are conducted in USD, and Euro. The United Stated Dollar was worth over £2 last year. It now only worth less than £1.40.

When you add into the equasion 23% import duty/vat and further tax on the freight charges (even though they are paid in USD to a US company!!!) plus the increases in prices from the suppliers then the net result is that the cost to us of the parts we buy has increased 34.4%!!!

Since that is more than our profit margin it has forced us to increase prices in line with the increased costs.

Please phone for the most up to date prices, which are currently being quoted on an individual customer by customer basis, and held suject to exchange rate fluctuations.
