Does anyone know if a home health nurse with paramedic certification qualifies for this program and what the incentive is?

Its $500 and your EMT-P state or national cert will be good to get it on the website Ford uses (ID.me) HOWEVER, as of right now, that specific offer isn't applicable to a Bronco sport but does apply to many other Fords.

Sadly doesn't apply to the sport. I'm a doctor and a vet and neither mattered haha.

If it were me, I’d definitely check regardless of what the offer says at the time of your purchase.

I wasn't able to get a first responder discount (FF/EMT) but I was able to get some accessories tossed in from the dealer and two separate $500 discounts along with them so it was a wash in the end. Try to negotiate for other options while your there, it never hurts to ask and be willing to walk if you don't get what you want.

willing to walk over an incentive...I guess to each their own. It's great they gave you some perks along the way, and post 9-11 I have to say getting free food and a sense of community pride was cool...but turning down a purchase over a hard to find vehicle vs. an incentive for being a medic seems petty to me. I asked about one, my dealer said he'd put it in the notes, and have to see what the owner had to say about it. Wasn't a deal-breaker for me. Glad it worked out for you, again to each their own, thanks for your community service.

There is a difference between being willing to walk on a deal and being petty over an incentive. I didn't even ask for a first responder discount because it wasn't available on the Sport. All I'm saying is that not everyone is content with walking into a dealership and paying sticker price. At the end of the day dealerships need to move volume. Knowing how a dealership works allows a buyer to leverage in different ways to get a better deal. I was simply saying that just because one may not get $500 off for their job, doesn't mean there aren't other ways to save a few bucks. I personally think a first responder incentive is gimmicky and not necessary. No job is more important than another.

Fair enough. The internet is interpretational, sometimes your meaning is lost in reading. This is one of those scenarios where dealers have the leverage with hard to find, long to build, high demand vehicles. I'd say if incentives and gifts is the most important part of the purchase plan, walking is the best option. I'd guess in six months the sports will be much more accessible and the big bronco will overtake the wants. Time will tell.

strongly disagree with your last statement my friend. However, everyone us entitled to their own opinion.
