Not recommended.

Just go to the first site and build/order a Mach-e. Once you start there is a finance calculator in the upper right corner.

Ah, so when you're doing that, you're seeing the incentives for 2022 model as that's what is has you building. Makes sense there would be nothing setup yet for 2022

There are links there for both 2021 and 2022

Anyone know if the $2,500 Ford Options credit or any other incentives were renewed? The last $2,500 listed on the Ford Options calculator expired 10/4.

So it’s “tomorrow” and the calculators still show 5% and the Ford Incentives website doesn’t have the Mach E listed as a qualified vehicle. Am I allowed to panic yet?

The Options incentives were all extended again to Nov 1st. No change.

Keep in mind the customer website is not the single point of truth on incentives. It may take a bit of time for the site to be synced up with the current incentives.

Links for viewing both 2021 and 2022 but not for building and ordering which is where you get the calculator. Everytime you build now it's for a 2022 (look at battery size) and so the financing calculator should reflect available incentives for the vehicle you're building (or so I'd assume).

But it sounds like @hybrid2bev answered our question.

Yeah, and that makes me feel better, but I would really like to get a screenshot of something to bring to my dealer in case they try to play games.

Do they normally get extended/renewed month to month? Or will this remain through the quarter?

Sorry to keep beating this dead horse.

The stories of dealers screwing up Options on several deals this year makes me second this sentiment. They can barely get Xplan right, let alone a "new" financing option. Customers need to be able to point to something official and show them when they're wrong.

The current Options program/incentives run from Oct 5th to Nov 1st.

I cannot say what the programs will be in the future past Nov 1st, but if history is a guide the Options programs/incentives have been renewed and not changed all year (except when the GT's were added). Purely a guess on my part, but I would think that the incentives would not change until the 22's start being delivered. But who knows?? ?‍

Options incentives/programs have been updated by the quarter for almost a year now.

How can customers find out what incentives are available in their regions?

Yeah, my dealer has already floated "we don't do options but have a similar program with a local bank". That is fine by me if that match the rate, residual, and rebate - but I doubt it!

My dealer had to investigate options. One discrepancy is he said they would allow 45% down vs. 30% down as stated on the Ford Options detail page. Are you available to put my mind at ease that my dealer is looking at the right thing and options does allow 45% down now?

Contact your dealer or wait for the customer website to be updated.

Yes, your dealer is correct. Maximum down payment (cash/rebates/incentives/trade equity) by not exceed 45% of the purchase price.

Interesting. Did that just change recently?
