Will those picking up now receive the lower prices as a manufacturer's rebate on the contract?

My window sticker will show the original '23 price.

Or will it be price protection type of refund where Ford mails you the price difference ?

So, those of us that picked theirs up on 12/30 are SOL. I can't believe they wouldn't do it for all
2023's since they didn't start even buiding them until November. How many could've been delivered
before January 1st?

Yeah but you got the full tax credit in 2022 didn't you ?

Any '23 GT now would not qualify.

Yep. People were clamoring to take delivery before the end of the year.

Well you are one of the lucky ones to claim the full tax credit without income or MSRP restrictions.

Mine was built in Dec but still have not seen it - last known location: KC, MO rail.

Since mine is under $55K, I should be OK for the tax credit assuming it gets here before March when IRS makes the battery ruling.

I think we're in full agreement.

I will get the tax credit but now the value of my car just dropped by 6k. I'm happy that everyone that ordered one is getting some kind of compensation to make up for the tax credit. But now you can just buy one off a lot for that same price. So what did I really get by my ordered vehicle arriving in late December?

They said the same thing to people who put in paperwork for a Bronco. They promised a price lock guarantee for them that didn't hold at all. Same for us Mach-E people when dealerships were going crazy with"adjusted market pricing".

At the end of the day Ford Motor Company has shown they have absolutely no control over their crappy money hungry dealerships. Just lip service and press releases.

Just saying this as a fair warning to people who read this and get excited. Double check what the Ford suits are saying versus what your shiesty dealership will allow.

You’re in the same boat as everyone else, but you did $1500 better than them, that’s what you got. Not so bad.

I agree it's disappointing the lack of control Ford has over dealerships. I don't think it's a consumer friendly model anymore (if it ever was).

Still won't get the tax rebate because of what the sticker says though.
