Ford has agreed to honour 2022 pricing, as long as my new order is like-for-like, which it will be
I can’t picture the dealer selling a repaired MME as new. They should also refuse it.
So sorry to hear that, and given that I'm still awaiting a delivery very shortly of my own Mach-E, it makes me even more anxious. Good luck! {Jonathan}So after waiting patiently since October of last year for my 2022 Mach-E Premium AWD, she's finally here!
Except instead of going to the dealer to have the plastic seat covers gently removed, the exterior protective plastic wrap carefully peeled off, and getting a goodbye charge, she went straight to the body shop.
It seems at some point in her journey things at the rail yard got rough, rail cars collided, and Mach-Es were bent. Mine was the meat of the Mach-E sandwich - creating three very unhappy owners in the process.
Believe it or not the damage came in at just shy of CAD $20k - basically everything but the door panels have been damaged.
I have refused delivery.
So now the waiting begins again - a new order for a 2023, high-priority, with the hopes of potentially snagging a like-for-like MY22 cancellation. The dealer says he's never seen that much damage to a car in transit. Yay! I love being first! Ford so far has been good about it, honouring the initial terms, but I'm still out a car.
Hard to tell from the pics, but lots of damage under the body work - the left headlamp alone is over $2k.
Gonna go cry for a bit now...
You can no longer order a 2022, so likely the OP is forced to wait until October with a high priority code so hopefully he gets his 2023 end of this year or early January.
It might be different for Canada as Canada is still placing orders for 2022 confirmed by dealer when I had placed it but one can never be to sure… Current status is unscheduled-clean with priority 10 in processing. Hopefully OP gets 2023 as promised.
I keep forgetting OP is in Canada, sorry about that. Just checked the Canada site, looks like you are right you can order a 2022. I wonder why the OP is opting to wait for a 2023 if there's still a chance to get a 2022 this year.
Well, he’s going to have to wait regardless so why not wait on the same vehicle as a 2023 model with all of the current and upcoming software updates already on board.
Honestly I'm not sure what ultimately will happen - dealer mentioned MY23 but if a MY22 can magically be expedited into my driveway I'll take it. If the wait time between a '22 and a '23 is only a few months (and likely winter months) then I'll wait.
Right now I have not opted for anything - it's possible the dealer meant to say MY22 - I have not spoken to him today. Want to get something from him in writing first and formalize the "what", then talk about the "how", be it a magically appearing '22 or waiting for a '23.
I would recommend speaking to them if my instinct from my conversation from my dealer is correct then your in Que for 2022! He did say it possible my order will be converted to 2023 but he said unlikely as 2022 orders are still being accepted. Regardless let’s just get the damn car right!
When was the order officially placed for you in system? Did he give you a estimated time frame for delivery ? Congratulations!!! I will surely love to hear about your updates as they come!** Update **
Dealer placed a new order for a MY22 and sent it directly to the District Manager. As long as the dealer can show we had a deal in place (we have signed paperwork & a deposit) they will honour the original deal & financing I had. So maybe a '23 would have been nice, but no guarantee what the build options will be, and for sure it would be a longer wait.
Order will be prioritised, so as much as it would suck for someone else if my order jumps the build queue, I'll be secretly OK with it.
And to top it off, the dealer sent me pics of two other Star White Premiums being delivered to customers today. In his defence he wanted me to see the colour and what it looks like without dents & scratches. But like rub it in why don't ya!
As for the original car, there is an outside chance the dealership may buy it, repair it, and use it as their test drive car. If that happens I'll be sure to pay her a visit.
Placed this afternoon - no ETA...so we'll see. Would be nice for the summer, but I'm in no hurry.
