Prices going up on all Ducatis?

yes, that's rite. Ducati just bumps up their price from the MSRP12,995 to MSRP 13,495. I bought my 1 day before the price went up. By the way I paid for mine 12,300 + tax,tag etc.
 
Haven't heard this but wouldn't be surprised. The dollar continues to sink versus the Euro and when Ducati NA pays Bologna in dollars, the value/worth is becoming less and less.
 
Just spoke with another Ducati dealer up in Richmond, VA (Richmond Superbike) and they say it's up to the dealer's themselves if they're going to mark them up--- based on sales of course. If their models are sitting on the floors then they'll just eat the difference.

Redline Motorsports in Yorktown says the same thing so I'm going to believe it until I see actual mark-ups.
 
Numbah1,

My guess is they're referring to stock that's already in their inventory, which they own for the lower invoice. Incoming inventory will come with a higher dealer invoice, so there's no way the price increase won't be reflected in an increased sticker price. IMO, it's unethical for dealers to increase the MSRP of inventory they own for the lower dealer invoice, but it's not illegal, so I'm sure some dealers will try and get away with this. One thing you can count on: The inventory coming off the boat with a higher dealer invoice will have a higher MSRP.

I think you talking about dealerships being ethical is quite comedic. Having worked at the "largest motorcycle dealership in the world" (that was the claim back then), I know what goes on and its by no means ethical. I know there are exceptions, but I think in this case its probably rare.
