Man gets ‘Brexit surprise’ on invoice for new Mercedes-BenzA man has no idea how much he will end up paying for his new Mercedes-Benz after a ‘Brexit disclaimer’ was put on it. John Hamill, 65, completed his order on Thursday, only to be handed an invoice with a stamp that said the price could change any time up to delivery day, should a customs duty tariff be put on cars imported into the UK after leaving the EU. The retired company director, from Hamilton in Scotland, was not told the cost could change prior to putting down a £500 deposit. He says staff were also unable to give him a firm date of delivery, meaning he could be waiting until May to know the final price. John told Metro.co.uk: ‘I ordered the car, I paid the £500 deposit and then they handed me the invoice – and that’s when I found out the price I’ll finally be paying is actually unknown. You couldn’t miss the big stamp. ‘You would think they’d tell me this before, but they didn’t.’ He added: ‘They couldn’t give me an estimate of how much the price could go up by because they don’t know what’s happening.’Read more: https://metro.co.uk/2020/01/13/man-gets-brexit-surprise-on-invoice-for-new-mercedes-benz-12038546/?ito=cbshare

Dunno. Does Brexit make one cupboard less financially and practically attractive?
