Rebates,incentives
Need some expert advice. April 2, put in order for 19’ STX. At the time, no “2019” incentives avail. BUT, expiring that day was $2000 STX rebate, $500 Ford financing rebate. Dealer said rebates,etc almost always better at time of delivery, SO they weren’t locked in, even though those rebates were on 18’ model. Now, on Ford.com, the same STX rebates were just announced, for 2018 models, they say nothing about 2019. My 19’ order schedules to arrive August 7th. What if there are absolutely no STX incentives? Did my dealer tell less than the truth? My understanding is that, no matter what, Ill get at least the incentives that were in place April 2, even IF it stated 2018. Anyone else in a similar situation? Thanks |
There were no rebates for a '19 when you ordered and none now. Sounds like there were $0 on 2019's both when you ordered and now. You should have applied the $3k PCO when it was valid (Before July 9). You would likely get the ford financing rebate, but can probably get a better interest rate at a credit union and save (overall) much more than $500.

My Dealer locked me in the current incentive and the $3K PCO on a 2019 ordered July 5. He told me that if the incentives for the 2019 are better anywhere between July 5 and delivery he will lock them down also and if I see any to call him. He said doing that is just good business you the customer are happy and the money is out of Ford's pocket not his.

Called Ford marketing, too. Same story from them. So, essentially all PCOs I had are not there anymore. |

When ordered, I didn’t have PCO. However, I did have several PCO’s that expired July 9. Trust me, I tried and tried, dealer said couldn’t apply since PCO’s came after the order did. Also, truck at delivery would be past the July 9 expiration. Called Ford marketing, too. Same story from them. So, essentially all PCOs I had are not there anymore. |
What did that dealer do in order to have applied? Is there a novel way of doing so? |

I stumbled on a couple of interesting links, plug in the vehicle data and it lists all the discounts and incentives available.
https://bobthomasford.com/Incentive-Search https://www.nadaguides.com/Cars/2019...-8-Box/Pricing I was able to use USAA and Farm Bureau, $1,000 customer appreciation, and an old $3,000 PCO. There may be more once I ask the dealer about some of those listed. |
