Interest rates have gone up a lot since March, so a higher rate would make sense. The I'm looking to finance at the Utah Power Credit Union where they give a credit for buying an EV, but rates are mid to upper 3's. Did they give this to you recently? I should probably stop by AF Ford to get things prepped - I don't want any surprises. I might have them do some kind of clear bra for the hood but otherwise don't plan on any add ons. When was your build date? Looks like you'll have your car soon! My build date should be this Friday. Hoping to have the car before halloween.
This Smart Vincent report is from Larry H Miller Ford Provo.
I find it a little suspicious that Ford Options is basically crap when others say they get 1.4% on GTs from back in March, but oh well. I guess I'll go for 1.9% on a 3-year loan through Ford.
Other than Options being funny, I also gained a lot of trust from LHM during that visit because the salesman said they specifically won't add on anything until they know the customer wants addons, let alone the actual car. I saw a worksheet that showed some kind of $500 security addon, but it said optional, and he said they can easily remove it if I don't want it, for example (and that was the only weird thing on the worksheet).
He also said that they don't install the front license plate bracket by default, won't put on a dealer advertisement decal, charge only MSRP, take X-Plan, and can work with me on swapping the summer tires to All-Season (a GM said they can buy the tires from me "as used" because anything mounted and balanced on a rim is considered used at that point) and have a company they use for paint protection film.
TLDR, I get reasonably good feelings from LHM that they won't mess around with me.
That said, my delivery is estimated to be 10/7/2022 - 10/13/2022, so we'll see.
That print off was last weekend, Sept 17, and it specifically mentions "Incentive Protected to March 29, 2022". Looking back on my posts in Sept 12 build week chat, looks like I got the vehicle built notification on Sept 15, and the vehicle shipped notification on Sept 16. I have no idea if it's actually moved since then, but my Ford.com estimate hasn't changed at least.
I'm still (And have always been) with a 9/19 build date. I have a co-worker who ordered a GT the same day as me, but from Bountiful Ford directly, and she had a build date in October that just got bumped to November. I'm checking with my dealer to see if their system shows anything different - I'm supposed to be built this week (Friday). Fingers crossed.
How did you get your built notification on Sept 15th? Was it an email? Ford's emails have been so random that I'm surprised they sent you a notification within a month of the event.
I kept signing in at ford.com to see if the status changed. But also I got the email notifications quite promptly. I think ford.com and emails were roughly the same time.
