I have never seen anything like it. Basically Ford rep confirmed with dealer that price protection exists but dealership told me they are still going to charge updated MSRP due to supply chain shortages. Effectively they are taking $2000 markup from me. if I don't buy car they sell it to someone for even more profit with 5-10k markup. I will buy the car and hope ford corporate takes my complaint seriously and cuts me back the check instead of dealership.

I would buy the car and then once it's yours make clear to them that you will wait before filling out the dealer survey, and if they don't provide the rebate to you by the expected time (not sure what that period is, but they will be getting that $2K back from Ford) you will be providing Ford with a very poor rating of their dealership and will also publicize this on review sites and forums.

yeah I have decided only way to stick it to them is by buying car and giving bad reviews everywhere. I can lodge official complain to Ford corporate about this behavior and hope that They will do the right thing if they are worried about their reputation. if I make to much fuss now they will just sell it to someone else. anyone will buy it in a heartbeat if they can get it without waiting a minute. if anyone has any better suggestion please bring it to my notice.

I'd consider removing their name from the previous post for now.

Does anyone recall what the Options rate (and residual value % used for the balloon) was for a Premium for orders on 10/1? My salesperson is saying 2.7% but I thought I recall 2.49% (assuming top credit rating).

This thread says it was 2.25% until October 4. I think it bumped up to 2.7% after that.

EDIT - I originally said it went up to 2.5 after that, but this thread says it went up to 2.7, for 2022 vehicles. I'm not sure we'd get the 2.25 or the 2.7 in that case. Folks are saying 2.7.

I just learned you can search within a thread. so go to that second thread I posted, go to the search box at the top, and you can enter 2.5 or 2.7 and select "this thread". you'll see no one mentions 2.5 in that thread. several 2.7.

Update: although I put a "reservation" on the Ford.com site on 10/1 like many others, the dealer didn't put the order in until 10/6. They are saying that the Options rate went from 2.49% to 2.7% on 10/4. Does that sound right? And the residual rate they are quoting is 47%.

Thanks. Didn't see this until after I wrote my reply to my own thread. For 36 months it ends being a few hundred dollars, not the end of the world.

Sounds like it’s going smoothly regarding 2000 price protection, 2000 regional, 2500 options rebate, 325 park assist, and xplan?

All but the park assist. They say the X-plan is messing that up and they may need to reimburse me after Ford reimbursed them the $325.

FINALLY! Just got this email from Ford saying My vehicle has been updated. I log in and see the below. I can't currently log into the Ford tracker URL, but I'll check that one as soon as I can.

Edit: Also August ... REALLY? Two whole Roman Calendar months away!!

Weird, because it's on the window sticker.

But at least there's no games. Don't forget about the down payment. I've heard a few people forgetting to take into account that they already paid $500.

I was hoping this wasn't the answer. Is this average?

My status had been XFRO in Doremus in Newark since very early Wednesday 6/8. Early this morning the status changed to Notification Ground Only, Port Newark. Here’s hoping that’s progress!

Also just noticed I got an email from Ford this morning saying my vehicle order had been updated. Not quite sure what that update is though.
