Understood and I agree. I just hope Ford and the dealer agree to honor that deal that was entered into almost 5 months ago.

I know it will be sold via the dealer, but Ford Motor company took the deposit from me on ford.com, not my dealership. The confirmation was from:

Ford Motor Company <[email protected]-ford.com>
Subject: Order request placed. Thrills ahead

I log into Ford.com to check status of my order, not my dealership.

I have an order number from Ford.

Ford cashed my deposit, not my dealer.

Ford has at least some responsibility to sell me what I purchased for the price that was agreed to about 5 months ago.

Ford even compensated me $750 when they price was raised slightly in October (making it slightly cheaper) The letter from Ford (not my dealer) said:



They clearly took responsibility when the prices changed once...I don't see how Ford can now say...not our problem. Pay $3000 more now...you are just out of luck, good luck and work it out with the dealership.

I would consider their words that say help cover "any price variation" for the model-year update to include the $3000 that they now want to charge for the same car.
im just relaying the same sentiment that has been stated over on this board before. You placed a reservation/order request from ford. The order was thru the dealer. I believe the deposit was even rebated and then took away again from the dealer. Messaging ford has helped some people on this board but not others. It’s been said they can’t do much if you don’t have anything in writing from the dealer. Also as been said, window sticker is not an invoice.

Pretty sure Window sticker just pulls from a set database that has the most current price. It be too complicated for them to suddenly rebuild the system. Don't think they had many, if any sudden mid cycle price increase.

on another note, i'm now in production too. ^^

So sadly, not in production yet with build week next week.. But I did notice my order on ford.com finally updated. I'm really glad I decided to do a print screen this morning before it changed. Same build date, but new price (up the $2k.) Price had already gone up once, mainly because the discontinued Iconic Silver and I went to Rapid Red, but also thought the price had gone up once already? If memory served, original 2021 price was 49,800, then I was bumped to 50,775 (from my print screen this morning), now it's 52,775. (Not including cast of Rapid red.) Sound right?

Sounds about right. My price went up from 57 to 59....at least they updated it with the new color but that's insaneeeee.

I've been feeling unreasonably bummed about not seeing any movement on mine and just before I logged off for the day I decided to go refresh the tracking site. It's "now being built!"

The Window Sticker link still returns a 404, but it's still ridiculously exciting to see the little checkbox and radio button change!

Well, maybe not. It's now back to "Order Confirmed." /shrug

Your MSRP is of the day your dealer accepted your order. The window sticker will also reflect the current MSRP (imagine the scenario where you don't buy this particular car--the sticker is not tied to your order). Your eventual buyer's order will reflect your accepted order.

I just looked at the actual invoice for the one I ordered and it is $2000 higher than the price it was ordered with. I work at a dealer so I have them getting in touch with our sales rep to see if we have any kind of price protection.

^ Probably would've been me if that was my order.
It's like Schrödinger's Mustang order. It's both "In Production" and "Order Confirmed" until someone observes it on the factory floor.
