Default Re: Ford & FPV website configurator

You can thank the Government and the ACCC.

Pricing used to be a part of the configurator or what they call it. But all prices must be actual drive away, not just list.

So they must include rego, stamp duty and other charges. Rego charges vary from state to state, metro to country, if your a pensioner or not, etc. They didn't want to put the highest cost as they might scare of customers and they cant put the lowest as they would be held to it.

So the manufacturers as a group therefore decided not to list pricing anymore. I'm sure they could have worked out a way but chose not to. If you go to Holden or Toyota you will find the same thing, no pricing.

Interesting that Hyundai have again stepped away with their "drive away" pricing
