so if you place an order on a truck say today, the incentive is $1500 if the incentives go up between now and then will the dealer give you the greater inventive??

 

The incentives that your are eligible for are the ones available at the time of delivery. So, if they go up you get to keep some extra $$$ in your pocket and if they go down you'll be paying more...

 

the sales person is saying I have to take the ones available now. I have never bought a new ford but with dodges I know people go the greater of the two.

 

With Ford it is based on the day of delivery/purchase, so I have no clue what the sales person is thinking. On the day of delivery/purchase the dealer will run the VIN through Ford's system called VINCENT which will display all eligible incentives based on the VIN, type of purchase (i.e. retail, fleet, AXZ-Plan), your home zip code and the date of delivery/purchase...

 

I agree....the same thing my dealer told me. You get what is in place at the time of delivery / purchase; not the order date.

 

Afraid you're dealing with a Salestard. When I bought my truck the dealer actually was looking out for me because the rebates were changing right about the time the truck was expected. The dealer had me sign a buyers order dated the day before the rebates changed just in case the new ones were not as good as the current ones. That way we locked-in both options. In my case, the rebates didn't change at all so we just completed a new buyers order on the delivery date and tore up the old one.

 

The only thing you can lock in now is the $1000 off the XLT package, if you are getting that. It shows up as soon as it priced and on the window sticker.
