I'm real curious... can any of you guys in Europe tell me what a new Rotax 912 ULS is selling for over there right now?
In yesterday's news -
"U.S. import prices recorded their biggest drop in six years in
January as prices fell broadly, a sign that domestic inflation
pressures could remain muted for a while. The Labor Department
said on Friday import prices tumbled 2.8 percent last month, the
largest decline since December 2008, after sliding by a revised 1.9
percent in December. It was the seventh straight month of declines
in import prices. In the 12 months through January prices declined
8.0 percent, the largest drop since September 2009."
Imported goods prices are down 8% for the last 12 months, EXCEPT Rotax engine prices (up 4 or 5%?).
It sounds like the importer can control the price of course, but are we being taken advantage of?
I'd just like to know if the higher prices are due to Rotax, or the distributors.
