So until Ford re-prints new window stickers for in production vehicles, the ones that got the higher price window stickers and have left the factory are screwed ??
$1500 + I've been driving it all this time. It's disappointing that it reads like they raised prices to take advantage of the tax rebate for the 2023MY but I kind of figured that is why they raised the price. It would be a fantastic good will gesture to give all 2023MY purchasers back the difference. They have been talking about increasing production this year for awhile so that is nothing new. And they still don't seem to have their act together servicing and bug fixing software for this car and the 2023 cars lost some functionality in the transition (like hands free lift gate and park assist, which even my 2014 Explorer has park assist
). But I don't see that happening.
My guess is that it done via VIN. I had to supply my VIN for my 2022 (pre-IRA) tax rebate, so I suspect that Ford provides the IRS a way to check on the MSRP via the VIN. So that way they could retroactively allow their (newly qualifying) customers to get the tax credit. At least I hope that's the case for those that have already purchased 2023's before the price drop. (I have to imagine there has been some mad scrambling between Ford and the IRS in recent weeks!)
I paid 53k for my 2022 CR1 and I think it was an okay price (especially since I got the rebate). I don't think that car should be worth more than 55-56k IMO. MAYBE if they fix the software on it, but other than that it's just a nice looking car with okay specs (bordering on meh specs when you look at the competition in that price range). It's almost laughable they had the GT at 70k.
Agree!
I bought my GTPE about a week ago, it’s the people like me who didn’t qualify for the tax credit who would have been truly SOL, and luckily Ford is refunding the difference. Unlike another American automaker that starts with a T.$1500 + I've been driving it all this time.

Where is yours ?
Based on others who have used their full PCO on their recent '23 deliveries, both dealers & Ford Motor Co said Ford will send price drop checks direct to the customer.
Your record of MSRP is on your sales contract. The window sticker is not the governing document.
The sales contract doesn't break down base price vs destination. It just gives one number.
