@Monty1987 My dealer told me I could change the order, without jeopardising my place in the queue, up until the point that a build week was allocated. Changing my order beyond that point would result in me being put to the back of the queue.
However - and this was the killer for me - as soon as the order is changed, price protection is removed (effectively you pay the list price as at the point of amendment (minus any previously-agreed dealer discount)).
This is exactly what happened to me!
My initial spec had all the bells and whistles, including the electric tailgate option.
Initially I just thought 'hey why not? Might as well have everything' so the electric tailgate was added.
Then I did more research and concluded it was probably a pretty bad idea to include it (I plan to do a full conversion so there would have been issues with weight limitations from the get go) plus one of my neighbours has an electric tailgate and it's the one thing he massively regrets.
Anyway I went to remove it and you're absolutely right, the dealer said I wouldn't loose my place in the queue but I'd loose the price protection.
I wanted to swap the electric tailgate for a power latching tailgate - this usually would have saved me money, but with the loss of the price protection the 'downgrade' was going to actually cost me MORE money.
I weighed up the options and in the end I went for it, cost increase and all.
It was a bitter pill to swallow as I'm effectively paying more for less, but at least now I'm getting exactly what I want which is the main thing.
The small liver lining for me at least is that when the March Price Hike does come into effect, it won't seem like too much of a jump for me because I've already swallowed nasty hit.
Small mercies!
. Anyone had experience of the factory swivels. Have I missed out? It’s only a kombi just thought it would be handy.
