Price diff from order to Sticker??

[DavidLs]

Ok I ordered the Mav 23,790.00 om the order form. Now I get to the ford site and check on build and I see a Sticker MSRP of $24,270.00. Right at 480. Over the agreed on Order Summary Time of Preview: 09/16/2022. Has anyone else noticed it. I thought the order on the 16th was a lock. ( This Is my Wife's Mav)

Are you talking about the $500 increase on Feb. 1?

 

[JBryant]

All of us who ordered and did not get vehicle built until after the price increase have seen that. My dealer honored the original pricing that was on the order form when I placed it in Sept.

There was an increase in price on February 1st.

You should be price protected, and still get the original price you ordered it at. Check with your dealer if you're worried about it.

As long as you didn't change body code Ford provides price protection on the same model year order at the time of the order. The window sticker will show the new price. The original order sheet the dealer gave you will have what you pay. Some dealers don't understand how that works and some dishonest ones will try to keep it because Ford charges them the new price and then gives them the price protection cost difference abouut 45 days later.

Talk to the sales manager and see if they agree although they will be busy tomorrow because it is a one day order window for Broncos plus I think 2024 Mustang order window opens tomorrow.

Here is my post on another thread on my experience:

Some dealerships are honoring the September 2022 price while others are not. Mine fell into the second one. Spoke to the general manager who admitted that he did get the standard Retail Price Protection memo that Ford sends out to all dealerships just prior to the price increases. But he claims that Ford would not reimburse the dealership for the price difference unless Ford officially puts something in the Smart Vincent system for the order. We then called Ford Marketing. They mentioned the Retail Price Protection memo but ultimately caved in and admitted that final pricing is between the dealership and the customer. I was able to use the Farm Bureau discount to offset the $500 increase.

My Wifes XL is being shipped as we speak. I see the Price difference and the Sticker MSRP up right at 500.00 actualy 480.00. Annoyed yes. I have delt with this dealers for years. So I called to speak to the sales manager ( Who in the Past has been great ) But I am hearing nothing back. I think this may not be as smooth as my previous purchases from this dealer. I will keep this post informed.

The sticker won't reflect your price protection, so I wouldn't stress out yet. Just talk to your dealer and make sure they're honoring your original price.

I ran into this recently myself. You are correct, it works out to be $480 increase. My price lock was not originally honored until i referenced the following internal memo given to me by ford customer center (when I called in to get clarification), that details the price lock protection that should be honored for orders placed before the mid year price increase:
EFC12199 maverick mid year pricing announcement effective feb 21 2023. Keep in mind I had already paid and this was a few days later, but my dealer did honor the difference with a check cut to me after offering this reference.
Hopefully you can provide that and they will do the same.

Relax young man, you're getting too far ahead of yourself. The same thing happened to me. The dealership clarified it very simply. The Monroney (Window Sticker) gets created with the prices that are current in the market and not the price that was agreed upon prior to any increases made by the manufacturer. Not to say that the dealership won't attempt to pull a quick one on you.

Great reply. Sometimes it gets wild. I am 76 and saw the same thing with my Lariat, so I called my salesman and he assured me they would honor the original pricing. Be careful and take those heart meds. I had to have FIVE bypasses last May, but doing great now. When it gets here, tell your wife to enjoy her Maverick. What part of the Lone Star State are you in? I am north of Ft. Worth.

Wish I had a few bucks for each time I have been in Athens. I worked for years doing HUD foreclosures and we had a ton of houses in Athens, Henderson and surrounding places. I lived in Ore City (north of Longview for a few years back in the 80's. I ordered a new Mav for my wife from my local dealer here in Bowie and still nothing. I went the next day to Five Star Ford in N. Richland Hills and ordered one for me and it came in last week. Enjoy Athens.
