Dang, that will make a somewhat significant difference. I'm certainly going to insist on the original 2022 MSRP. Not sure if there is a legal approach that can be taken if the dealer says no. It's almost a type of bait and switch to take a deposit at one price and tell you that you have to spend more for a newer model. I suppose their only liability might be to refund the deposit.

Generally quoted prices have expiration dates and these kinds of contracts have all sorts of escape clauses. If you have a contract at all. I think I just have a deposit and an invoice.
if it makes you feel better, my 720 price went up in between ordering and delivery since it took a year and everything got held with the covid shutdown. My order didn’t make it far enough before shutdown to lock in the MY 2021 rates

Good to know. At MSRP, I wonder what percentage of the purchase price is dealer markup. In other words how much room do they have to play with. I suppose how much they might consider taking off MSRP is also factored by how fast they think they can sell your order at MSRP if you bail.

Same situation. When I put a deposit down for a 2022 in early 2022, I was quoted MY22 price. Few months later when I actually got allocation, I was told it will be a MY23 and it will be 2023 price, which was $15k+ with nothing added other than the 3-yr maintenance service now being included. Normally between MY to MY other carmakers will make certain options become standard to go with a higher MSRP.
As far as I can tell, Artura base MSRP went from $225K to $233K and mine at least will be a MY23 car. Original was a MY22. Technology Pack price went down a few hundred and Track Telemetry is gone (but coming at a later date, or so says a bulletin earlier this month). So generally speaking, not a huge jump from 22 to 23. 🤷♂️

I was fortunate enough to be on a tour of the MTC at Woking yesterday. The cars on the production line were mostly Arturas and most seemed to be left hookers, so I presume destined for you boys and girls Stateside. Looked to me like production was in full swing.

Did they let you know how many are rolling out a day? Hooray for left-hand-drive deliveries!

Very nice. If I didn’t have an Artura on order I’d get a 600LT.View attachment 229497

I’d sent you a PM a while back, btw.

No, very cagey about the Production Centre - we were on very specific timings, strictly no photographs, we were on a viewing balcony at one end so good overview but nothing up close.

Finally got some seat time in one today. It certainly is quick, and handles great, but I was hoping for a bit more emotion from the soundtrack and a bit more rawness but I think I'm being unfair (my other cars are a 765LT and STO, to give perspective on what I generally enjoy...) Net net I like it for what it is.
But then again I guess that's somewhat the point. Go get an LT for the raw, visceral feel, and keep the Artura for the everyday car. I'm just hoping the hybrid era isn't "the end" of that...will be super curious to see whatever the LT version of the Artura is like and then the true 720s replacement.

EXACTLY what I am doing. Artura to drive during the week, along with my Ghost. LT when I want to have some real fun.

Just checked with my dealer and my car is awaiting shipment! Very happy, as I originally had a completion date of mid Feb. when I ordered in Oct.which was delayed to April 14th.
Any idea how long shipping takes? Any way to track the vehicle? I was told close to 6 weeks which should put around the end of April. Fingers crossed!

there is no good way to track the vehicle. 6-8 weeks, depending on which coast, sounds about right.

I'm on the East coast so hopefully 6 weeks. The dealer said he has limited ability to track the vehicle as well.

Didn't @unmac post a method using publicly-available import/shipping information?
I don't remember specifics, but there was a thread mentioning 2wglobal(dot)com to track delivery. Other mentions were to get the name of the shipping vessel (boat) and look it up on vesselfinder(dot)com or try importgenius(dot)com. Sorry, but I haven't tried any of these...
