  • Bad News For New British Porsche Drivers

    If you live in the UK and you’re planning on buying a Porsche, you’re going to want to get on that sooner rather than later.

    The German car company is asking buyers to sign a clause agreeing to a potential (precautionary) tariff to cover them if Brexit actually happens.

    According to the BBC, Brexit would see a 10% surcharge that would elevate the cost of an entry-level Porsche 911 from £93 110 (R1,7 million) to £102 421 (roughly R2 million).

    Oh, the horror:

    Stuttgart-based Porsche said in an emailed statement to the BBC: “As one potential outcome of the Brexit negotiations, there is a possibility that a duty of up to 10% may be applied to cars imported into the UK by us after March 29.

    “In light of this, we have chosen to inform customers whose cars are likely to arrive after Brexit occurs to warn them that they may be affected by this tariff – allowing them to be fully informed at the point of sale and, if they wish, to adjust their order accordingly.

    They claim that this is a precautionary step that will allow their customers to plan accordingly.

    Porsche is owned by Volkswagen, who have refused to discuss the potential surcharge that could be applied to their other brands, like Audi, Lamborghini, Skoda, Bugatti, Seat, and Ducati.

    Whether or not Brexit will actually ever happen (or not happen) remains to be seen.

    It’s the political version of The Neverending Story, except instead of a childlike empress and a fluffy luck dragon, we have Thatcher 2.o and Boris Johnson’s floaty hairpiece.
