My dealer of 30 years told me they cannot get an accurate Vincent until point of sale. When you go to pickup your vehicle, before you agree or sign anything ask them to run the Vincent report, a honest dealer will gladly show you the report. When you sign all your paperwork there should be a document you sign that has available incentives.
Maybe that is what the salesperson was referring to. Having to be ready to purchase vehicle to see all incentives. I just don’t want to miss out on something that will make the this purchase that much sweeter.
All incentives and bonus cash offers are done through ford, and will show up on the vincent. Unless the dealer is offering some sort of cash offer. I would not worry about it. When I began buying new cars I was always skeptical of wrong doing by the dealer. I have never had any bad experiences buying a (NEW) car. My best advice would be to educate yourself as much as possible on incentives and the value of your car if your trading. Used to have fun trying to get a better deal off invoice but that's all changed, now it's msrp.
Dude you are giving your salesman way to much benefit of the doubt. He sounds like a putz, go ask his manager what the deal is. I wouldn't waste a 2nf of my time based on your later comments about buying now.
That would be correct. It’s not accurate until the day you purchase. Incentives come and go. Based on the commercials, you have incentive protection. The point being is they want you to order because they don’t want you going to another brand in case they have something on the lot.
I decided to sell my trade-in because prices are beginning to drop. A Volkswagen dealer was the highest bidder. While doing the paperwork I asked the manager where his new cars are and he said they don't have any, not one. And any that show up are sold. Crazy times.
Exactly! The custom order incentive probably won’t go away any time soon. It’s meant to incentivize those shopping and on the fence. It’s a discount for those that had already decided what they wanted and could/can custom order and wait.
I didn't know the 1k cash was available when I placed my order so it was a pleasant surprise when I found out. With all the price increases and 1k cash, I will hang in there till I get my now bargain.
They added it to your custom build sheet or did you purchase vehicle recently?
What I’m trying to figure out is if the salesperson can add the incentive already to the custom build that has already been confirmed. I have date scheduled for build and VIN.
There is no need to “add” it to your order. It will come up at the point you get your final paperwork to sign. It will show up as a discount. It won’t show up in the order paperwork because it depends on what’s available at the time of purchase plus what was in existence at the time of ordering. Just going in with the knowledge that you are getting at least an additional 1k off because you custom ordered. There could be other incentives available at the time of signing but at a minimum, you will get the 1k.
Thank you for this and everyone’s else’s reply’s and information. This alleviates much of my concern. Hopefully others who have viewed this thread find the information as useful as I have.
Mine was a custom build. I ordered 9/9/21, built 12/7/21, delivered 1/10/22. The incentive was added to the sales paperwork at delivery.
