"Ford Options" Mach-E Lease vs standard lease - similarities and differences

[rinsmars]

Just picked my car up yesterday and asked about the $750 Ford Loyalty rebate because I thought I qualified with trading in my 2011 Fusion but was told it was only applicable for Lease in my area.

Do Ford Options work with a trade-in?

The deposit is supposed to be below 25%, right?

What happens when you have too much equity in the trade-in? Dealer writes you back a check to keep the down payment below 25?

Yes.

The max down payment is 45% of the purchase price (except in TX and MD).

Yes, if you have too much equity (or don't want to use it all towards the financing) the dealer can cut you a check for the difference.

It was 1.4% for the GT in Nov 2021. That’s when I took delivery. My dealer told me that they would give me the better of whatever the rate and incentive was for my car based on when I ordered vs. when I took delivery. Both were the same, so no issue there.

I was surprised also, but I logged into ford.com and checked my order (It still said "Finish your purchase" even though I picked it up last night), and when I started the checkout process, the $750 loyalty rebate popped up.

I just played with my cart, and it presented a $750 loyalty rebate for owing an 1995 or new Ford. HOWEVER, when I said yes I qualified, the only $750 it shows in the car is program 38278 which is the $750 that Ford owes for converting our 2021 to a 2022 and raising the price. I do NOT see two different $750 incentives, one for "loyalty".

Not sure what to tell you, I was happily surprised to see them add it to my paperwork. I didn't find it on the Ford site in my cart until after we got home with the car. I ordered in January, so I would not have got the $750 '21 to '22 deal. When I went further in my cart (even though we already bought the car), it did take the $750 off the total. When I tried to add the Ford Options plan as my financing, the site would lock up and throw an error so I gave up on that.

Thanks. Perhaps my dealer can do both.

Any chance your paperwork shows a program number next to the $750?

Do you see Price Protection when you play with the Cart or possibly the A/Z/D/X plan price from original order date?

I assume most folks are finalizing in the dealership rather than full checkout online? I don't know if the online cart will know about the CA Clean Fuel Rebate.

 

[RickMachE]

No Price Protection, not going to buy it online.

I am picking my car tonight or tomorrow, on autobytel I see current incentive $2000 ford options, 3.9% finance 48 months, is that the rate for both finance and options? Or options has a different rate?

My credit union is offering 2.24% 66 months which is way better than 3.9.



Also, is it true that we get the rate for the month we ordered in? It doesn't make sense to me but figured to ask.

Supposedly either of these two dates, 1) Ordered or 2) Pickup/Purchased.

I looked through all my paperwork and did not see a program #, sorry. I did try to check online again, but since my car is now shown as purchased, the calculator no longer is available. Let us know how it turned out. Maybe I just got a lucky error in my favor, who knows.

Options is a different rate than a loan.

You should take Ford Options, and the $2,000 incentive, than refinance the next week with your credit union.

I financed the car last night straight out.

Wasn't fully aware with options/refinance.

See if they can redo it.
