My dealer (and I understand many other dealers) are treating the price protection as a refund scenario.
This is what mine said. “You are price protected as long as the way you ordered the vehicle is how you are going to register it. So as long as your name and address match, we shouldn't have a problem getting the refund from Ford when we apply for it. Just to be aware, Ford hasn't been completely transparent regarding the "price protection". It isn't automatic. We have to apply for it. We can't apply for it until the vehicle is sold. Therefor, your price will be what is on the new window sticker until they reimburse us for the difference. We will then cut a check to you for the difference in pricing.”
Okay, that sucks and I know many dealers are accepting a lower price upfront but I’ve waited too long for this car to be righteous and die on that hill. They’ve been good so far so I’ll take a risk and trust them.
My question is, for those who were in the same boat, how long did you wait to get your refund from the dealer?
