Does price protection plan include interest rate at time of order? If any one knows

My dealer honored the Ford interest rate at time of order today. I had to ask for it, but they looked it up and gave it to me. 1.9%

Is that for an outright purchase or under the Ford Options plan?

So in the middle of May I was calling Ford Dealers in San Antonio and I got lucky that the day I called, someone had canceled their Space Metallic White Premium AWD Mach-E, and I went into the dealership to talk about how this could now become my order. At the time there was a confused salesman who had the new car sales manager come out and promise the car to me. No numbers were discussed, as there wasn’t a VIN for the car yet or window sticker. I didn’t take anything to prove the car was mine either. So I reached out to the business associate I spoke to when I initially called who let me know about the canceled order and he ensured me that the vehicle is now mine and put into my name! Which I was LUCKY and thrilled. Either way, it went into production 5/26, built 6/13. I went into the dealership yesterday because I requested a purchase order for my bank. Well the dealership was trying to up charge MSRP from window sticker by 5K, which isn’t terrible, but wasn’t spoken about. Needless to say, I got into it with the manager who reminded me that he could sell the car to someone else for 10K over if I didn’t want it. He then tried to lie and pulled out a window sticker with a 5K mark up and say he showed me that and we agreed to that. After I made him look like an idiot because of the fact that he lied to me in my face since there wasn’t even a VIN when the car was put into my name, he lowered the price by 2K and now I only have a 3K up charge.

So anyone in this build week dealing with the dealership adding 5-10K on their vehicle once it arrives? I believe there are only 2 people that have gotten their car…

My dealer honored my xplan price and special interest rate. They also sold me the extended warranty for a few $$ over their cost. They also know me well there and we have had a good relationship for many years.

This same dealer has two dealer order MME GT PEs for sale - both are 15k over MSRP.

Outright Purchase

Congrats!
Another SoCal delivery.
When was your MME shipped?

Why is socal getting deliveries so much faster than norcal?

Can you share your cost of extended warranty? I like to purchase? when did you order?

Good to see that SoCal deliveries are much quicker in this thread. Any NorCal updates getting quicker than estimated to dealer sofar?

Batch 6074 84/305 - In production 5/27, built 6/14

So, according to my dealer. My car is in Laredo, TX. That looks like it's on the Mexican boarder.

I still show connectivity with my FordPass app however GPS still shows at the factory. So, it seems like once it went inside a train, it must have lost the GPS tracking. I'll be able to confirm that once it gets removed from the train.

ETA is July 18 - 24th. In Kissimmee Florida. My guess it might hit the dealership before then.

My dealership "Mullinex Ford" said they have about 10 Mach-E's sitting and can't take final delivery because of the recall....I think a few peeps in this build week are some of them...

Keep us posted on location. I think my mine is on that same Train.

Guys, don't kill me for asking this question. I'm afraid it's been asked/answered multiple times.

The HVBJB recall, being that my call was build on 6/14, i know that my car doesn't have the recall and my dealership has confirmed. I also know that Ford is working on a software fix for everyone else. If I understand correctly, maybe I'm wrong, but a hardware fix might be needed later down the line.

The question - For those like us that dodged the HVBJB recall issue, did our cars just get a software fix or did Ford actually change a part? My dealership didn't know.

I don't know the answer to your question, but from what I've read, even the EXPERTS who roam these forums don't know and are confused by Ford's communications.
