    All of you saying get a lawyer: do you all think that a multi billion dollar company don’t have an entire firms worth of contract lawyers working full time? You can bet your ### that if they are asking for it they can legally do it. Now you can go and waste your money and have it looked at all you want but the reality of it is, make your decision, pay the sur-charge, or loose your spot.
    Bunch a #### sea lawyers!

    Ordered a high roof Kenworth T680 with an MX13 and standard interior from Pape for $162k in early June (FET included and no Bendix collision avoidance) > build date was originally Nov. 8 > build date later moved to Dec. 27th > recently build date moved again to "January 2022" (no date specified) and model year to 2023, price bumped by $8,000 (roughly 5%).

    Did they charge you the extra 8K? On my Volvo I did not get a bump because I ordered it this year before they pushed it out till next year.

    I will be paying cash (not financing), and have only put down a deposit. So a new contract was sent to me to be signed - at the new higher price - and that raised price will then be due at delivery.

    And BTW - my original contract did have a "conditions beyond our control" type clause.

    That is crazy. I will be financing and have put a 5K deposit down on mine. But glad no extra charges on mine. That was first thing I asked when they told me mine pushed back to 23 build 3rd week of Jan.
