Picking up Mach E Select with Tech and comfort on the 4th of this month. Texted my dealer and they said they never heard of Ford options. Can someone help give the instructions on how dealer can access it? And I read that dealer can give the rates of when the car was first ordered. Is there something I need to state in writing with a source?

Other than that, so frikin excited. Screw California gas prices. Finally #1 in something but #1 in gas price isn't something to be proud of

Thanks

If the dealer does not know how to do Ford Options they can review the information themselves here: FMC DEALER >> FINANCE >> CONSUMER FINANCE PROGRAMS >> FORD OPTIONS

Or they should contact their Ford Credit BDM (they will have the training documents as well).

It’s not uncommon that dealers either don’t know about it or pretend not to know. Several of us in our build group had major resistance from our dealers about using the program. They used fear tactics to try to get us to take traditional financing. I for one had to insist on using the program to get them to do it. My interest rate was 2.7% and a $1,000 incentive from ordering back in Oct 2021 in Illinois.

Last week, my dealer confessed they'd never done a Ford Options contract. But they were familiar with e-contracting, which is the only real prerequisite. I asked them to brush up on the program with Ford Credit before I arrived, which they did. Everything went smoothly from then on.

You should get the interest rate and rebates associated with your ZIP code and the date of your order. If they offer you something different, ask them to recheck the numbers.

Does Ford Options have mileage limits?
Yes, they range from 7,500 per year up to 19,500 or more. But they're only relevant if you decide to turn the car back in to Ford.

If you keep the car or trade it in, no one will care how many miles you put on it. That will affect your trade-in value, of course.

Thanks for that insight.

My dealer hadn’t done an Options financing package before my car. It took them less than 15 minutes to figure it out and have me start e-signing stuff. Several Poodles I know may have been able to figure it out quicker. ??

Any trouble getting pre order rates? Or they forcing you to go with current market rates?

Options rates are not promotional, so they are not locked. And, dealers can mark them up.

We ordered last May. Ford Options was $1,000 rebate, and 2.25g or 2.49% (can't recall). 4 year loan was 0.9%, 3 year was 0%. We took the 0.9% for 4 years on the 2021 we bought off the lot in Juky 2021, and again on our ordered car that came in in May 2022.

Is there any menu option that I can direct them to find the rates from last year vs now?

Hi everyone, need help. My car is in route and I reached out to dealer to understand what my options were with the Ford options program as that’s what I want to use. He said they aren’t accepting it/set up for it. I don’t believe that is accurate and I plan on telling him to have the finance manager reach out to the Credit Rep. anything else I can do?

I didn't get 2.49, but 2.9% based off of my order date of 2/1/22 just this last week.
