We are ordering steel for the shop. The factory says oh the price will be higher but we don’t know how much and we don’t know when it will be delivered maybe 44 weeks. That is the way everything is right now. And that is in almost everything. I would say make a deal with the dealer to cover the extra cost and if the price should come do you get that.

I just had this with a golf cart I purchased. The dealer had 1 in stock and we made a deal. I asked about waiting and order one in a different color. He said he had 10 on order and one was the color we preferred, but he could no guarantee a price because the manufacture would tell him the price when they shipped. It is happening with a lot of things in these new times.
I left with the one he had.
