Sorice, it’s tough to say. I think the intent is there to exclude things like destination and delivery. As in they are giving that as an example how what can be excluded, but it could also be read that it la up to the manufacturer to determine what is included in the MSRP. Has anyone ever bought a car where destination , delivery a taxes weren’t included in the MSRP on the sticker. I can’t think of any. That would weigh in favor of all of us. Realistically, until someone receives a $5k check from the state for a MachE with an MSRP of just under $55 excluding delivery and destination, it’s an uncertain. My expectations are low so they can be easily exceeded. I’m just excited about a great looking EV at a reasonable price. Heck, Ford already lowered the price after I put my order in and no sales tax plus a Fed Tax credit means I got nothing to complain about.That language concerns me as well. I mentioned it in another post but easier to just re-state here. Quack2000 - I'd appreciate your take on it...
My concern is that the language states (bold italics mine):
Costs not generally included in the MSRP are: destination or delivery charges, sales and use taxes, additional maintenance or repair packages purchased from the dealership or showroom, documentation fees, registration fees, or add-ons which relate to the maintenance or operation of the vehicle, such as electric vehicle charging packages, floor mats, first aid kits, cargo nets, etc.
What worries me is that Ford does include the destination and delivery in the MSRP. Here's what I configured and ordered:
Notice that the base MSRP is 47,000 and options are 7,700. That totals 54,700, which is under the 55k cap. BUT, the Total MSRP includes the D&D. So how will NJ interpret that? Will NJ back out the 1,100 D&D or will they use Ford's MSRP and deny the rebate?
