It's going to be interesting to see what the next two rounds look like. I doubt the incentives will get better, just could stay the same.
check out the other thread, if you haven't already, SAM found some new info on the incentives.....looks like they may drop the $5000 to $2000 if over MSRP of $45000, but you still must be under $55000 to get anything.......I think those of us who got approval BUT are still waiting for $$ will get the full $5000 (I hope!!!!!!)......from what I read quickly, I don't think it's a done deal yet??
Just read it, great for NJ and the approved folks. The incentives I thought were being discussed here were about the Ford provided ones, those can go either way next quarter. However it looks I had it wrong and the discussion is around the NJ program.
See if you can find one “in transit,” dealer ordered. I did (very South Jersey) and put a deposit down on it (Select SR, RWD, Tech/Comfort package. And it’s blue!). I confirmed no ADM, does Options, accepts X-plan. They went over some figures with me and they were spot-on to my calculations. Delivery ETA is 6/30 - perfectly timed for incentive. You can check the advertised car’s VIN against the mach-e VIN tracker to see estimated delivery date. It took some work, but may actually work out for me. I still have my existing order (same specs, just not blue and no build date yet) with another dealer in case and am trying to get original dealer to transfer my order to the new dealer to replenish their stock. Original dealer doesn’t do Options so I won’t buy from them regardless.
Great idea -- mind telling or PM me the dealer? I know the $2,500 options rebate expires July 7 (at least according to Ford's campaign #), do you know if they still honor that if shipping is delayed?
Which dealers were good to work with (so far)? I didn't talk to your reco yet at Fullerton, but I will--sounds promising. I've been starting in local radius with the few dealers that have selects and working my way out. I've gotten to a radius of 40 miles now, and Somerville is about 70 miles. Out of the 7 or so I've tried in the last few weeks, 2 responded with weird high numbers that made no sense and didn't respond to follow up e-mails. 2 others were fair but wouldn't move. Three just kept asking "when am I dropping by?" Miller was real easy and fair, and might be my first stop if the rebate comes back and they have any base selects available. They have two stripped AWD selects, but I can't stomach a 48K car that doesn't even have heated seats, since that's already above my limit. I'll let you know when I get to Fullerton because at this rate I probably will soon.
Miller gets a thumbs up, Fullerton would be another option like you said. They appear to have a bunch of MME on the way or in stock. DM me if you have any issues with them, I’d be glad to help pave the easy way.
They do accept x-plan. I purchased my Mach-e from them
When I started looking, I went on Ford website and searched inventory with my prefs (Premium 4 ex Star White Light gray int, within 50 mi) and one popped up 5 min away. It had a banner over it that said dealer ordered. I went there and asked if anyone had claimed it. No! So I put $500 down and waited. I did this in April and picked up the car yesterday (5/26). It was exactly what I would have ordered but without the long wait since the dealer had ordered it in Jan. BTW, it was at Downs Ford in Toms River and what a great experience!!! Good luck with your quest.
I have been working with Lilliston Ford in Vineland (no ADM, x-plan/Options accepted) but also saw some "dealer ordered" from Ace Ford in Woodbury (not sure of ADM, x-plan/Options). I hadn't thought about the Options credit expiration. Maybe we can do paperwork ahead of time? Given the state of NJ's program, I'm now doubtful any POS incentive will be in place by July 1. But if I can't do Options, I won't be getting the Mach-e.
