Did you place your order at ford.com or at the dealership?

Why didn't you email that screen shot back to the dealer GM (instead of posting to us) and say that "I just want to confirm that this is the amount I will be preparing to fund when I arrive on Monday. Is this correct? If not, please send me any other charges (other than sales tax) so that we can make this a smooth process for both of us."

The fact that you aren't sure what's going to happen on monday means the dealer has worked its psychological magic with you of holding all the cards. It's okay, you're not going to offend them and you'll find out soon enough, so why not make them tell you? There clearly will be some kind of dealer BS fees for "documentation....." that weren't on their screen they shared with you.

Price protection is essentially automatic. That being said It does not matter what any of us respond. I would be calling and confirming with the dealer today!

I did send to the dealer and he said he has to see if ford will do it. Dealer said ford has the right to increase price because of supply do increase.

I picked up my GT a week ago the first invoice they gave me contained the 2500$ price increase then I showed them my original price summary, the salesman took it to the sales mgr and after about 10 minutes brought me a new invoice with the original price. It just depends on the dealer I’m glad I hung on to the original document BTW I paid 500$ adm this is the most exciting vehicle I have ever had!!!!!

It was x plan
X-Plan is Invoice, which is the same as MSRP for the Mach-E, minus 2%, plus $275, with a $100 max on paperwork. In your case, that's $57,061.10, plus the $100 paperwork fee.

The thing to understand is Ford will provide you and the dealer price protection. You pay the original MSRP to the dealer and the dealer receives a credit back from Ford within 45 days of purchase. But they have to send in verification that the person who ordered the vehicle was the person who purchased it. If the dealer refuses to do this for you then I have no advice on how to get them to honor it. I will say that if they do not honor it, and you buy it, they will receive the price protection credit anyway if they submit the information to Ford.

Not quite true. They do have to submit proof that the original person who placed the order purchased the vehicle. So when mine arrives it is price protected as long as I purchase it. If I back out then there is no longer price protection. I am not saying dealers would try to beat the system but this prevents dealers from making orders in a customers name in order to cheat the allocation system and then make a sale from inventory.

Read the next sentence in the post you referenced and it says that too.

Dewey in the 1/31 build week thread just completed his purchase. Got the price protection with no games. Dealer presented the paperwork with that price. Was good to hear. Ethical dealer.
When he posted about completing the purchase I asked him to clarify the protection process. ??
