I'm pretty sure the £2k price includes fitting.
I got my 05 WRX PPP'd today and managed to negotiate getting it fitted plus the first service all in for £1450 - supposed to be £1600 for the PPP alone

PPP fitting charge for MY04 STi UK
dealer in newcastle u tyne, wants to charge £100 for fitting on top of £2k for PPP, even when argued about cost shown as "including fitting" on scooby web site. dealer claims will get proof from prodrive that £2k excludes fitting...
sounds like someone's takin the michael. (no offence intended to any micky's out there!)

I've just had my local dealer tell me that the PPP parts for an 03 STi are £1745.31 + VAT (£2050.74) and that there will a fitting charge on top of that but the guy who can give me that figure is out to lunch! I think they must all be out to lunch to charge prices like that!

The dealers get allowed 2 hours labour for fitting the PPP.

It will be interesting to see how much they try and charge me for the fitting. I shall obviously mention that it should be £1995 all in but I don't hold out much hope.
Then it'll be a case of trying the next nearest dealer.

Result!
The service manager has just called me back confirming that the price is £1995. He was most confused when I told him someone from his parts department had quoted me different.
Now all I have to do is wait 3 weeks.

I have now checked with 5 other dealers in the N/East and only one of them is quoting an extra for fitting PPP, therefore i wont be takin it to their establishment, shame as its the dealer i bought the car from in the first place! so much for loyalty to existing customers!

There is some confusion on the website, as it states "£ 1995.00 (including fitting) (inc. VAT, exc. Fitting - unless otherwise stated above)" At first it includes fitting, then when it states it includes VAT, it excludes fitting 
But, it does say it includes both at some point, so they are legally bound under sale of goods and false advertising laws, I think 
STi PPP
WRX PPP

WRX PPP

Doesn't the "unless otherwise stated above" relate to the "including fitting" comment thus cancelling out the "exc. fitting"? Thats how I read it.

yeah did that, none of my local dealers wanted to know even if they did sidc discounts on other items, all starts getting a bit pointless when you consider travelling further away etc.

Subaru's price of £1995 is always inc fitting. Anything over that and the dealer's trying it on IMHO.
As for discounts I'm not the only one who's been able to negotiate a price nearer £1600. If your dealer wont budge, go elsewhere.

Good garage. I bought my scooby from Marlborough in Isleworth, but only take my car to SGT now. Can't recomend them enough.
Oh yeah, and it should take a couple of hours max to fit, I fitted mine myself, and it took 2 hours and I don't have a lift or access to all the tools the garage does.
