So I don't suppose you get both if you model was automatically upgraded..?
I got both from my dealer. And they honored X-plan pricing.

So sorry to hear about Folsom Lake Ford
@discobeef & yourself got the short end of this deal especially if you ordered in 2021 like I did

I would fight it as long as possible & depends on how much the ADM or price increase is dictates how I would approach the purchase. It’s all about the demand of the MME which drive Dealerships to be greedy forgetting value in reputation.

Sucks to hear horrible experiences
Just a quick update. I finally received word back from the Internet Manager at Folsom Lake Ford that they would apply for price protection and - if received - send it to me.

Glad that they're doing that, but I certainly wish they made it easier.

Great to hear and it’s never too late to make amends
Good thing they did though
Glad to hear

Yet another example of a flat-out unethical business practice by a California Ford dealer.

You should complain to Ford Corporate and the State of California. In this hot market, shortsighted dealers have a big incentive to price-gouge their customers to the max. They don't realize or don't care that this creates such ill-will towards them that their businesses will eventually suffer.

I hope you post your experience in as many places as you can, including Yelp, Google, and Ford forums.

Ultimately, it's probably going to take either a state law or class-action lawsuit to stop these unethical dealers.
If you use the X-Plan they have to honor price protection. Are you a Mustang Club of America member? If you are you can get an X-Plan pin number.

Do you have something that outlines a dealer "has to honor price protection if they use x-plan"? Thanks
