I am curious how long the dealer will play the wait game trying to figure out your PP before they mark it up on the lot and try to sell it instead of dealing with resolving the issue. That would say a lot about what kind of dealership integrity they possess.
I hear ya. And agree. I’m waiting out today. Will propose they meet me in middle and raise my trade value half the PP amount to get it sold to me, and offer they keep the PP if they ever sort it out. I could live with what amounts to. Still leaves a bit to be desired. But I could live with it, and shift the onus on them to figure it out. Probably not even possible. But worth offering to get the truck and still be happy.
The PP really is on corporate not the dealership, so I can see why they might not want to work with you if they can put it on the lot and mark it up instead doesn't give them a whole lot of incentive to look into things for you so really you have to get on it and call Ford and start a case as well as tell the sales manager or GM to look into filing the PP certificate extension for you and then you should get that $ back in rebate form down the road.
So far no ultimatum. So I think they still trying to figure it out. Or maybe I’m naive and they already sold it to someone else. I will call Ford again tomorrow to see if there’s anything I can do, or anyone else I can talk to. Thanks
My perseverance paid off it appears, after going to GM level and who knows where from there, after long 2 days of waiting, dealer was able to confirm my Price Protection amount for what I ordered , was supposed to be for what I reserved in 2020 but …. It’s a win! Picking it up tomorrow ! At the end of 2 long days in Limbo, I have new found respect for my local small town dealer who did the right thing when they easily could have just issued a “take it or leave it” ultimatum. Good luck to anyone else in this “lost certificate” predicament , and thanks to all the genuinely nice responses. Much appreciated. I did have to ultimately send them my original reservation email confirmation from 7/15/2020… keep everything!!! See you at the Mall , Crawling in my outer Banks.
Thats fantastic! Way to hold them to thier word. If you happen to figure out who it is that actually knows whats going on, please share!
I wish lol. But definitely went to GM at dealer and beyond. “Incentives” group as near as I can figure.
The proof is in the pudding, so they say….Congrats! Will if come in the form of a rebate check from the dealership once they get reimbursed from Ford?
I believe they may even take it off MSRP up front this go around. But either way , will come off at time of purchase for these final private offer “price protections”
Oh, ok. GM at dealership told me the smaller one ($825?) comes off at time of purchase and the bigger one ($2000+?) doesn not but they will cut you a check once they get reimbursed from Ford is how they operate at this dealership normally.
I think lasts years PP worked the way you describe. This years is simpler, one amount at time of purchase. I’m not sure if it’s off MSRP (as would make sense) or rebate after everything is calculated. I suppose it’s possible your truck is still on old program ? IDK.
That was for 2022. This thread is for 2023 which is different. Should all show up as a certificate to be applied at the time of sale. Key word "SHOULD". As usual, the program is Fubar like everything else with the launch so far.
