YMMV and it will depend on your vehicle. I am selling a 2014 Mazda 3 Hatchback with 99,500 miles in great condition.

Driveway - $6,400 (srsly?)
Vroom - $8,627
Carvana - $9,439
KBB's Instant Cash offer was $11,475 but then they assign you a couple dealers for a physical inspection.
KBB (Audi dealer) - $10,500
KBB (Jeep dealer) - $11,355

I will be getting a quote from Ford once the Mach-E leaves Missouri. There is tax benefit from trading in a vehicle, but Ford will need to give me more than $10,500.

@Zoheb318 .. how was your trade in experience? Did you end up trading in at Ford or went with one of these other options ? Did they change the price after inspecting the car or honored the online offer? Anything else to consider ?

FC told me me that my vehicle location is Ramp 4C, Port Newark, NJ. Let's see how long it takes to get it picked up and delivered to my dealer in Long Island about 70 miles away

Does this apply to plan X pricing only?

This should apply to everyone. I don't have X plan and my sales rep was able to pull rates from March.

Traded my car into Ford. They offered $10,750 which is equivalent to $11,502.50 after tax savings.

My latest update is that my car is that it's Shipped leaving Argentine, KS on BNSF. Headed to Texas I hope, ETA to Dealership is still Nov 8-14th but I'd say it will be the tail end of that estimate if it arrives on time.

I see. I thought about that option as well but I didn't want to come home and clean my car to see if it had some minor damages that may have been missed because it was dirty. It would be hard to prove I didn't cause it after I left the dealership.

They told me if they did t clean it I would have to sign something relinquishing them of any responsibility for scratches, damage

Finally they put my car on a NS train. It's somewhere near Muncie, KS is what they said.

Just curious, did your window sticker have any info under the "Ramp 2" box, or just Ramp 1? I see you got transferred to a NS train.

Wondering if people closer to the coasts have two train legs and midwest goes straight to truck after KC. I'm in Detroit area and only have RC6R under Ramp 1, Ramp 2 is blank, so not sure if that means I'll be waiting for another train or not.

FWIW, my sticker shows Ramp 2 blank as well and in Ramp 1 it shows "RD4C". My car arrived at the Newark port by rail and the next leg is on the road for sure.

ask your sales rep to log into smart vincent and select incentive based on Protection date, not sales date.

My sales rep confirmed i would get 2.49% rate financing which was the rate in March when I ordered.

I see a discount on the sticker for "Premium Regional Discount" for the amount 2k. I'm wondering if that is in addition to what I may be able to get from smart vincent at the time of financing?

Yes, regional discounts are separate and is specific to certain states I believe

Mine has only entry in Ramp 1.

All you lucky ducks taking delivery: Post your pics; esp. those who get the Vapor Blue Metallic color.

None of these will be Vapor Blue, they are all MY22s.

I asked them not to wash it or get it detailed.

I see. I thought about that option as well but I didn't want to come home and clean my car to see if it had some minor damages that may have been missed because it was dirty. It would be hard to prove I didn't cause it after I left the dealership.

Planning to take my Mach E to get PPF and ceramic almost immediately after I take delivery. Installer told me to tell dealer not to do anything to the exterior.

Car was dropped at the dealer this afternoon hoping it will be ready for pickup tomorrow!
