What happened to that $1000 incentive

[Ares]

Please let this disinformation die and don't post this again it sounds close enough to the truth to confuse people. Pretty please with sugar on top!

Ford offered dealers a set number of reimbursable dollars per Bronco affected. The number varied according to a secret formula of Ford's, however it was far less than $1000 for each reservation. Let us say the dealer had 100 reservations and got $250 for each, that would be $25000 in total. That means the dealer could pay up to a maximum of $1000 (that is where the maximum of $1000 confuses people, it limits dealers from blowing all the cash on just a few folks) to 25 reservation holders in the form of pretty much anything or 50 reservations could get $500 each (and the other 50 nothing), or any permutation or mix therein, up to or under the $25000 total.

The dealer has to lay out their own money, then expend labor and so forth to fill out rather complex forms and HOPE Ford deems them acceptable payouts, at which point they would be reimbursed up to $1000 for each outlay (actual costs). It is an optional program and would actually cost the dealer in terms of labor and hassle. Many dealers claim they are not doing it. (although you would never know, maybe you weren't in the favored group at that dealer and got nothing while ADM payers or friends/family got up to $1000 each. A dealer is not going to tell you that they participated and that you were worth nothing to them.)

No dealer is getting $1000 to spend on each reservation holder.

Im pretty sure the dealer gets the money no questions asked. earmarked to be spent on customers who make a fuss.

but its not validated later, if they dont spend it, it goes into the dealers pocket.

Some dealers might just do a defacto gift, some might only use it for a particularly cranky reservation holder, and some wont do anything at all.

A Ford coupon code to redeem. Enter: BRONCO2025

Dealer: Hmmm no such thing.

My dealer installed my aux lights gratis. It was something unexpected.

Absolutely not true. The dealer spends the money and has to prove it through paperwork for each customer and then gets reimbursed. It’s a confusing process and many dealers don’t know it was available. I educated my dealer, got the money in accessories, and used a fellow forum members instructions on how to get the paperwork completed.

My dealer said each dealer got $1000. He said he would help me get the security vault for the center console. I have not decided which one to keep yet. Which one would you keep? Carbon grey 4 door badlands 2.7 sasquatch lux trailer hitch soft top. Black 2 door badlands 2.7 saquatch lux trailer hitch hard top. I'm leaning towards the 2 door. The other gets sold. Have not got the 2 door yet.

Wrong. LOL

Can you point me to the thread that talks about the forms? Thanks

So what ever happened to Ford giving Bronco dealers $1,000 to spend on branded merchandise for frustrated car buyers? Did anyone ever get something from their dealer? I certainly didn't, and now more delays.

I got two shirts and a hat

 

[daddycreswell]

Your dealer actually got you something? All I've gotten is the sound of crickets...

My dealer gave me $200.00 off the invoice price, better than nothing.

I got the Roush exhaust with mine.

I had to ask for it and I requested rock rails for my Wildtrak. My salesperson talked with the general manager who then ok'd it; the rails are ordered and will be installed once they arrive at the dealership.
