Cars often cost much more than that in a ad stated. The Authority Consumer & Market is tired, and to start a study of the costs for the preparation of cars.

Chances are that you also have made: you have finally got the pennies together for that nice car you want to buy, but if you contract under your nose gets is the amount that you need to take care of suddenly much higher than you thought. At the 40 most popular cars 660 to 1300 euro higher, as is clear from previous research of the Consumers ‘ association.

The culprit is the line “costs of preparation”, for which the car companies still have a lot of money in the account. This cost is used for a number of things, such as transport of the car to the dealer, the filling of the fuel tank and the requests of a number plate.

The problem is that each company there is a different amount for the fee and that the price comparison between different cars so hard to create. The ACM is this posturing was, and therefore start an investigation. They want to know if it is really necessary for these costs to disconnect from the selling price of the car.

The Consumers association pointed out, in 2014 all importers on all-in prices to handle. Although the association of RAI when commitments are made, which were not yet fulfilled. Therefore, it is now the regulator ACM by the consumer on, in the hope that there will eventually be a fairer representation of the differences between the various brands and models.
