So my Pro is in 'Built' status (12/12 build week) and my salesman called me today saying that they can do all the paperwork now as the car has been marked 'Released' by Ford. They said I wouldn't have to pay now, but they could somehow mark it paid with a 45 day grace period so it would be sold in 2022. So I go in fully expecting a run around when dealing with price protection + the private cash offer. The sales manager just flat out said 'There is no price protection on lightnings' which I obviously know is false from all you guys on here that have received both. He went on to say 'They replaced price protection with the $7k rebate blah blah blah' and then goes on to show me some text with his regional manager that said there was no price protection. But he said he's been fighting this fight with other customers too and it was a no-go.
I insisted that I could find another dealer who has done both the price protection and private cash offer and he could speak with them. But he basically said 'they aren't the ones who are going to pay me the $5k so it wont do any good'
He told me that I could take it up with Ford, call their customer service line, get a case created and wait a couple days for a phone call back. I asked if I could talk to his regional manager, he said he would contact them to reach out to me, but couldn't guarantee anything, aka I'm not getting a call.
@Granger Ford @FordVideoGuy I know people have reached out to you before for help, do you have any tips on what I can do?
Super bummed right now!
Btw the dealer is Apple Ford in Columbia, MD
