Cars in transit on May 2nd - What price will we you get?

[machemmie]

I have a Premium AWD SR that is supposed to be delivered between May 6th & May 12th. Last we know, it was put on a railcar on April 25th in KC on it's way to NY.

I ORDERED this car on 4/08/2022. 13 months ago and was a 2022 order pushed to 2023 with a PCO of $6,500

What price will I pay and will BlueCruise be included?

1) Originally MSRP of $58,975 & I was getting a $6,500 PCO because it was a 2022 order pushed to 2023
2) After it was shipped, the sticker changed to $55,295 (But the BlueCruise was still included)
3) Now the price dropped again!

If you are in a similar situation
A) If you dealer gave you ANY information - PLEASE SHARE
B) If you actually took delivery or turned down delivery - What was the price?!?!?

My head is spinning.....
NOTE - I will be leasing..

I am in a similar boat. Ordered a Premium AWD extended range in a premium paint color in Oct 2022, will likely get my car this week. My dealer gave me an MSRP of $63.4k.

Heres my experience for everyone with an order that came in this week. Hope it helps.

Ordered Select with C/T- 3/28/22
Converted to premium- 9/19/22
(Seperately bought Select with C/T from different dealer with $2500 markup to lock in tax credits- Dec 22)
Premium (12/19 build week) In production for 5 months.... still never got an explanation here
Premium arrived 5/10/23

Sticker price was 55,535 (53,995 base+240 mats + Delivery 1,300). Price quoted by dealer was $51,035. This is for a standard range premium. It included a $2,000 order incentive and a $2,500 private offer. I asked if blue cruise for three years was still included and my sales rep said "i think so" Rate offered was 4.49%. I asked specifically for what date that was based off in Smart Vincent and he just kept saying that was the rate available. I then asked about Ford Options credit and he said "thats the lease thing right, ill have to ask my manager" Never found out the answer there.

Despite buying the other car, my plan was always to upgrade to the premium, but the horrendous delays caused me to miss out on 3750 of the federal, plus Oregon suspended their tax credit of 2500 on May 1. Losing out on this 6250 plus the dealers offer of $37k trade in for my current select (2,000 miles, no damage of any kind) was the final straw. Just giving up on it, the extra features arent worth it to me, plus if I decide to upgrade in the future I can just order another premium with the new battery, extra horsepower etc. for $50k. Also I had a previous post that described how while sitting in Mexico the premium order threw a powertrain/reduced power error in FordPass which was never explained so who knows if I was getting a lemon when my current mache runs fine.

Very frustrating and disappointing experience overall from Ford, and the dealer certainly wasnt looking to help correct any of the problems caused by Ford or even interested in me rehashing the story.

Hope the data points help anyone still waiting. Good luck to you and thanks for keeping me informed and entertained over the last year.

Wow!
This is my EXACT story - including moving the order from a Select C/T to a Premium AWD SR - up until the point of delivery.. Mine is due in the next few days, but I am also getting the feeling that I will end up not taking it as the current lease offer is just horrendous. (I only lease as I write it off my business). Sick of waiting for the car, I picked up a Volvo C40 in March.
I really do love the Mache E, but after 13 months, some of the excitement has worn off. Maybe I'll just wait until they are piled up on dealers lots next year... Well see what happens when it come in..

Thanks for sharing your experience. Crazy how low they valued a trade in on a low mileage Select.

We ordered in September 2022 and as we get closer to delivery date we are passed the point of feeling like we really need to take the car home.

Ordered a Space White Select RWD on August 30, 2022. Car was built on March 14, 2023 and shipped. Arrived at Port of Newark on April 14, 2023. Finally reached dealer on May 4th, I took delivery on May 5th.

Every time the projected delivery window moved I called Dearborn for an explanation/update. They were always available, upbeat and pleasant. They would give a revised date but no explanation why.

The dealer had given me an explanation in March. He told me the vehicles are shipped missing chips. So when they reach their last destination before the dealership, they sit several weeks waiting for the missing chips to be installed. After that they are trucked to the dealer. A lengthy, sometimes puzzling, frustrating process that isn't as taxing if you have another car. But when it's over you'll be happy, unless there are issues with the car. I haven't had any and am elated I waited it out...

Very helpful in my similar situation.

Thanks for verifying that the low 4.49% APR, $2500 PCO plus $2K incentive is still attached to this day.

Mine will be even more interesting as it will be my 3rd MME ordered due to train derailment loss in March.

Being replaced by a January ordered (not my order), April built, and shipped this month, Premium SR MME.

As I understand, all orders placed from Jan - May 2023 also gets another price drop.

Will see when it arrives 6/1-6/7 on their ETA which always changes....

DONE DEAL!!
I was NOT optimistic, but I made a deal!
I opted for a lease, so I only got $2,500 PCO (I believe it would have been another $2,000 had I purchased or done the Ford Options), but I had a "Drop Dead, Red Line #" that i wouldn't cross, and I'm only paying $31 more than that (yeah.. I crossed it..)
Dealer was straight forward. (Hempstead Ford, Hempstead, NY)
Did the credit app & insurance today, selling my 2019 Volvo XC60 R Design to CarMax at 5pm, and picking up the Premium AWD SR Vapor Blue Mach E tomorrow at noon.
13 MONTHS!!! What a saga, but I'm glad I'm getting it - still my favorite EV (except for a Lucid!)

Mine finally arrived at the dealer!

Salesperson is having it PDI.

Hoping to take a look at her this weekend.

Picked up my Premium last Saturday. Sticker was $53k back in April and still says $53k. But they reduced the price to $51k and offered a $2k refund so price reduction of $4k. The way I calculate it buying this older 'more expensive' mach-e over the newer 'less expensive' mach-e saved me $2600.

I am new to the forum, have been following for the past couple of months. I have two Mach E's ordered and I am still trying to determine if I will accept delivery. Both were ordered on September 1, 2022 after trying to order from my local dealership in April but I was informed that the bank was closed. I say this because other than the $1300 delivery charge I do not believe I am entitled to any other price protection. I ordered Select only with no bells or whistles. The only price difference that it appears to affect my order besides the $3000 price decrease would be the $500 increase in shipping. I am trying to figure out why I would pay $2000.00 more for the same vehicle($3000 less $500 increase delivery and $500 for charger. Also because of delay I lost not only the extra $3750 of federal tax credit also a private offer of $750. They were first scheduled for production in March and finally were built Week of April 3 and are still in transit. I purchased my First Mustang Mach 45 years ago and have been a faithful Ford purchaser since then. I. like some on here, feel that Ford has forgotten their roots. Why should someone who ordered after January30 receive a $2000 better price than someone who ordered in 6 months earlier and has been waiting to receive. I have reached out to Ford and the marketing department and can not receive any explanation.
Any one had any success? Call me frustrated.

your best contact on actual pricing is with your dealer. based on the notice below make sure to ask them to apply the retail bonus cash offer #11044. i can't remember the Select price changes from jan 30 but you should receive that automatically.

Based on my recent experience, you will likely be re-invoiced and receive the lower of your order price or current price.
Of course, if you are unhappy, you have the option to walk.
Please let us know.

Thanks for the replies. I have checked with my dealer. Small town Mississippi but bend over backwards to help. Probably have only sold a couple of Mach E's so are not real sure of what is going to happen. I am confident that they will do anything to help. Having said that they have received nothing from Ford other than the press release that said Mach E's ordered after January 31 and delivered after April 3 would receive new pricing. I am hopeful will receive new invoicing and $2000 incentive. If so that only puts me $2500 short of price after Federal incentives I would have paid. Not totally happy but can live with. I have understand the problems with chips and other production delays but have watched as my dealer has received a couple of Mach E's that he ordered after mine was placed to arrive before April 18th. They were a gt and premium, however, based on my past experience Ford would have produced Sold retail orders before inventory orders. Also I would probably have already walked except as mentioned earlier my first vechicle was a 1969 Mach 1 and this may well be my last vehicle and for what ever reason I wanted this vehicle.
