Incentives may be gone after they expire on 7/6

[supertramp]

If you finance using Ford Options, there is a rebate of $1000 or $2500, depending on zip code. That certainly qualifies as an incentive in my book.

The OP refers to rebates and incentives that will disappear (according to the link he provided ) on 07/06. Nothing in that article mentioned that Ford Options disappear - in that sense, it's a financing program, not a rebate/incentive. So, it's is not an incentive in my book anyway - as you are paying 2.25% and that way your "incentive" is just a "compensation" for a higher rate (because you are overpaying comparing to 0.9% rate which is available for 48 months financing).

There is an incentive available when using Options. Either $1k or $2,500 depending on your ZIP code.

The link OP provided does not specifically address the Ford Options incentives; it is a rather generic discussion about eliminating numerous incentives across the Ford line. Ford Options is unique to the Mach E (at this point) and I believe the interest rates/incentives generally run in 3-month cycles. These are scheduled to go through 7/6. It is speculation whether any of this will continue or change and it won't be known until after 7/6.

This is my understanding, and I would defer to @hybrid2bev as the expert to confirm anything.

I’m not in a position to know what future incentives would be. Even if I was I couldn’t say anything. Once they are published I can take a look.

Not focusing on the future incentives... Could you clarify how to look up the current ones? I can't even find a link to the $2500 currently in effect people keep mentioning. Thanks.

The only way I can find the incentive is if I start the process of ordering an MME. On the first screen after you select your dealer you will see a Finance button in the upper right corner of the screen with a calculator icon. Click that, then choose 'Options'. Scroll down on the resulting screen and you should see this:

I do not live in a 'big incentive' ZIP code. ?

Yes. What @BMT1071 said.

The Ford Options Bonus Cash is only available if you finance with Ford Credit on a Ford Options contract. The amount varies between $1,000 or $2,500 depending on your home location.

You can find them easily on the Ford Partner site.

Code MC405 (MCA club XPLAN)

go to the Ford page and use your zip to see the current incentives.

Good luck!

So weird... The ordering process is not like that for me. If I click to start an order and select a dealer, the next screen looks like this: View attachment 29322

Apparently your screen is different because you have a finance button that is not on my screen. I have no way to view the $2500 or $1000 incentives.

Are you on a desktop/laptop or a phone/tablet?
My screenshot is from a laptop.

I cannot agree - it's a pseudo-incentive - together with that "incentive" you have to have 2.25% rate instead of 0.9% rate with a regular financing - so, if you wanna call it an "incentive", it's up to you...

Yes, certainly, wouldn't expect any advance information - I was referring to the article OP linked to and how it related to the incentives/interest rates for the Mach E, specifically. I didn't really see much that seemed to apply to our scenario here.

Even with 2.25% the monthly payment is about 1/2 w/ Ford Options. But yes the overall cost can be higher. I prefer it since I plan to pay it off this year.

I'm pretty sure Ford considers Ford Credit Bonus Cash programs to be types of Incentives. And then there's this:

incentive
[inˈsen(t)iv]

NOUN

1. a thing that motivates or encourages one to do something.
   "there is no incentive for customers to conserve water"
   synonyms:
   inducement · motivation · motive · reason · stimulus · 
   [more]
   • a payment or concession to stimulate greater output or investment.
     "tax incentives for investing in depressed areas" · 
     [more]

Just fixed that problem. The ignore list is a beautiful thing.
