So the new promo came out, which we felt offed more value and we switched no problems. Then 4 weeks down the track, we noticed that the 15K was no longer within our dealings. They claimed if we switched, then we would loose the 15K bonus. So, after fighting we switched back to the old promo, but because there had been so much time wasted in between the negotiations, they could no longer confirm we could get to site start in time, so the cancelled the whole 15K on us. Even after many letters/emails to management, they wouldnt budge. We were disgusted. We got to tender stage with them and when I explained everything and indicated we were looking elsewhere and going to cancel, you know management never even called to try and keep our business.....i couldnt believe it. in the end we walked away. Re: Building the Manhattan 41 with Carlisle - Getting starte 12Jul 02, 2012 7:14 pm bizarrely enough, we would have accepted even less than the original deal, as we were pretty impressed with the process, beside the first sales consultant we had. we even offered a "well what can you do for us now?" thing, and it came back as ZERO. I still have the emails. such a shame as we liked the house and facade., Re: Building the Manhattan 41 with Carlisle - Getting starte 18Aug 23, 2012 1:25 am hi..good to hear all of u planning to build manhattan.. my husband and i just bought a land and its ready at mount aiken at craigieburn but we still not confirm which house and builder that we gonna deal with. but in our list there are two houses- manhattan 41 and sahara Q1. both of us hasnt see the agent to discuss all the terms, but as i understand the price is about as displayed. so from u guys who has experience..how much grossly u guys need to top up?i heard that if with sahara q1 henley is about $150k..its too much.. Re: Building the Manhattan 41 with Carlisle - Getting starte 19Aug 23, 2012 10:59 am The final cost of the Manhattan 41- as displayed will depend on the number of upgrades you add-on. E.g. LED downlights, other lights and switches, surround sound wiring, facade etc. Carlisle use to sneak a water resistant "Performance Solution" into their contracts.
