Competition Watchdog ACM (Authority Consumer & amp; Market) automotive prohibits concealing unavoidable costs enticing ads. The regulator sets an ultimatum. 1 November have practices that car importers from all major brands apply belong to the past. Otherwise, following a penalty or a hefty fine
Ad Price
Chris Fonteijn, chairman of the ACM:. “For the price is in the ad, you need those car showroom can ride out. The automotive industry should be clear about that. “
For years, the ANWB and the Consumentenbond fight against the nasty surprise of curb costs, but the automotive industry was not listening to the public pressure. These costs are counted for the license plates, transporting them to the dealer and the removal of the packaging.
Curb Costs negotiable
The ACM finds that importers who place the ads to the curb cost estimate fine . The regulator stressed that dealers may charge less curb costs than in the ad and consumers can still negotiating here.
Not happy
The Bovag (Association of Car dealers and garage holders) it is not agree with the measure. “We are for transparency, but this is not an elegant solution to the problem. Rather we had listed separately the curb take charge in ads. This is clearly because you want to charge for the additional tax and insurance with a low list price without additional costs. ACM believes that no good way. “
Flight
Not only are consumers startled in the automotive industry with unavoidable additional costs. Even airline ticket providers have been addressed above. So Corendon tour in July was still the ACM 350,000 euro fine for unreported booking fee and service charge. The regulator is going to soon focus on sales of concert tickets, which are also high booking leave unmentioned in advertising prices.
The ACM was until recently maximum impose fines of 450,000 euros, but for all offenses after July 1 is the limit increases to 900,000 euros.
More Consumers
Haha, about writing for the paper and connect battery? Less than half an hour of work … For in 1500? … Oh, is already a black box installed in new cars. Maybe a bit to create an account. More not, we still keep an hourly wage of about 3,000 euros. Who is here also agree’ll have enough money to voluntarily stop to what the poor competitive dealers. I still think there are many more and better charities that can use hard money.

Funny all these comments. But ultimately, state clearly what you have to pay. Why do you want to know its construction? If you buy a house, there are also costs; is that a reason not to buy? Stop nevertheless agree to moan about just anywhere. And then the response “because of the extra cost so I buy a new car”, hahaha. Is it really through that expense? Or could quite possibly just a new car are too expensive. Must be refugees huh? Or the Labour Party. Or Muslims. Grumble grumble.

the transportation should be included. Kerb make use of the car is less than an hour of work and there is the log in the RDW and ordering the plates included. The towering delivery is a disguised extra profit, nothing more. Even worse are the delivery of used cars, also belonging to the profiteering of garages and urgently need the job.

buying a new car is already high enough, a new car is not roadworthy without the turn? Always found strange: suppose there at all use a turn to be paid at cost. Your washing machine needs from the supplier wash once for € 20, -, your new phone is tested against cost, etc. Plate agreement, but the rest part of service or the price.! Always feel ripped off at the garage in which ‘rijklaar’ costs.

the so-called brand dealers are the worst in an industry that is already not so pure. A repair at a dealership is at least 2x too expensive.

Oh, if this were the only costs that are indistinct in that industry, then it’s not so bad. There are many more shadowy costs affecting citizens, the majority coming from the corner of the government! And you never get clarity about! They feel no obligation! And the so-called parliament is doing right now! For they indeed get very well paid and have all the convenient amenities, which they (not selected) citizens have systematically deprived!

Buy every two years another car, I say what for options to have and how much I need pay extra and negotiate that price. How to put them all back on the bill do not care (trade, discount, delivery, etc). The important thing is how much I pay.
