Mach E's purchased after 1/1/23 will get the new reduced pricing (per Ford's Mike Levine)

[MachKet]

Anyone take order between 1/1 and this announcement? Will be interesting to see how the process of refund goes down

Did ford reveal how they are going to refund the customers bought mach e after 1/1/2023? Should we contact dealer or just wait for a check?

Asked my dealer and they said Ford will contact me directly, it has nothing to do with dealers.

I heard the same, but also that the dealer hadn’t really heard anything from Ford about it yet.

So just to be clear, if we purchased the vehicle before 1/1/2023, we do not get compensated for the price reduction right?

No, but as long as you have sufficient tax liability you do qualify for the $7500 tax credit which is more than the price reduction. Purchasers after 1/1/2023 need to be below an income level AND the MME needs to be below $55k msrp to get any tax credit.

Thank you for the clarification.

My window sticker is still not up with the new lower pricing!

Why is that dealers who have lot vehicles have gotten theirs ?

Mine became available again still with the original price.

Probably something to do with the cars being in a un-sold vs sold status.

Can you please *promise* to update us when you hear anything? I bought my GTPE about a week ago and my dealer is definitely not going to be forthcoming about any refund, glad it’s going to come straight from Ford.

Picked up my '23 Premium yesterday. I had spoken to my salesperson the day before making sure he was aware of the recent price change and that Ford had stated customers would now get the new price when they took delivery. He was unaware and said he would have to review with the GM.

When I got there I brought it up again because I noticed the window sticker on the vehicle was still the original sticker and not the one with revised pricing. I had printed out both window stickers from Ford.com and brought them with me along with a printout of the press release. I spoke with GM and he claimed he had not seen this before and that they would have to charge me their invoice pricing and Ford would then contact me to get me a refund under the price protection plan. I explained that this was not how it was noted in the press release and that what he was describing was how it was supposed to be handled for customers that had already purchased their Mach-E's in 23 before the adjusted pricing came out.

To the Dealership GM and salesperson's credit they were both very professional and listened to it all. GM then logged in to system while I was there and was able to see new invoice that Ford had issued them the night before changing the pricing to the lower levels. He then printed that out and had the salesperson take that back to the Finance manager to adjust the paperwork. They also confirmed I was still getting my locked in finance rate from when I placed the order which was much lower than today's' rates.

It was a great experience and reminded me why I use this dealership to begin with and not the ones that are closer to my house.

Only one day with Mach-e so far but I love it. Only have it for one more day before I lose it for a week while it gets paint correction, ppf, ceramic, interior protection and window tinting. Gonna be a long week in the rental lol.

Congrats!

Yesterday, i test drove for the first time, Premium 4xE on the dealer's lot and noticed the old window sticker too.

Love the sporty feel of the MME compared to my Lightning.

When I asked the sales manager, he said he has the new window stickers for all their MME on lot.
He said the new invoice pricing was received earlier in the week.
I go to help the salesperson change out the window sticker.
Could not pay their ADM though.

I picked my Premium, extended-range, red MME up on January 2nd, but I could have picked it up on December 31st!!

I have been riding this rollercoaster, but as of this morning, it appears I now receive the best of both worlds!!

Ford promised I'd get the $3,600 + $1,600 lower price and the IRS just changed the MME back to crossover sticker which should mean another $7,500.

I'll repost when I hear anything from Ford on the $5,200!!

And just like that this is no longer correct.
Now 2023 buyers get the reduced price and the tax credit.

Pretty sure this means people that bought at the end of 2022 got screwed.

How did they get screwed ?

If I got mine in 2022, I'd be happier even without the price reduction refund.
Here's why:
No income cap
No MSRP max
Full tax credit available as a refund this month

But since mine won't get here till whenever:
Income cap
MSRP max $80K
Full if before IRS March ruling, half or none after IRS rules
Credit claimed next year.
