Which is a load of bullshit. I can't think of any other retail product that I order at one price and then when it gets delivered they try to charge me a higher price.
Just telling you what I was told. It does sort of make sense for a new buyer. But I totally agree that your price should be what is on your order.
Got my final $2K from the dealer today!
My dealership got my $9100 from Ford, so if they come back with a different number, something is up.
Got my check Friday. 109 days from purchase to refund check.
That's awesome. Did you have to pester the Dealer to give you the check or did it just show up in the mail? I'm just about at day 50 since my purchase and I haven't received anything yet. I wish there was a way to look at the check status without asking the dealer if they received it or not. How would I know if they lied and said they haven't received anything when in fact they have?
Based on prior talks with the dealer I knew pestering would be only that, so I figured I wouldn’t get upset again until the time since purchase neared what the estimated payment timeframe was. Originally I was looking 45-60 days but following these threads I saw many getting paid around 80-90. When I was getting close to that I saw someone report 110 so I waited a little longer and bugged them around 90 days. They didn’t email back but I got a call saying the funds were coming in, then within a couple weeks got the check.
Can you share with me the language and where in the contract? I'm also in the bay area and having trouble getting this done with my dealer. I don't mind floating the price protection, but I want something in writing that the dealer will send me the price protection funds once (if) Ford pays them.
It was basically an I owe you signed by the dealership that said if Ford corporate paid the price protection to the dealer they would then write me a check for that balance. I had to follow up a few times, but ultimately I got my check.
After the final sale, I continued to complain about no commitment about price protection and finally got the dealership's sales manager to write an e-mail to me saying when the vehicle is reinvoiced back to them they will forward on any price protection adjustments given from Ford Corporate. I'm at 30 days post-sale now and no info yet, not surprising given other folks' reports here but I'll give it another 30 days before I follow up again. I purchased with a CA Bay Area dealership as well.
