I'm with you. I ordered back in June and really had hoped I would have it before rates increased Feb 1, but such is life. Mercifully my truck is in the shipping process and I can still get the June incentive rates, so there's that! LOL
I spoke with my dealer and they too will be honoring the incentive rates at time of order. When I asked, I made sure I asked about the incentive APR at time of order, rather than the regular rates.
Indeed....I've warmed up/idled a Prius many times and this has NEVER been an issue, nor have I heard stories abounding re: glowing Prius catalytic converters.
I could certainly see that swap if you don't NEED a truck bed. Still get the mileage, many of the features and a longer time on the market (so, theoretically, fewer unknowns). A couple of months ago I started looking at some options. I ended up setting a drop dead timeline but finally got scheduled.
Indeed - I got confirmation of this from my dealer last night. Thannnkkkk goodness. LOL I was pretty certain that's how it would work out, but I wanted to be sure ahead of time since my truck is supposed to be delivered next month. Getting all of my ducks in a row so I have as close to perfect...
Sounds like what @jc888888888 has indicated - it is no guarantee that your specific dealership sales & finance people will honor the incentive rates in existence at time of order and you may have to do some negotiating and push back to get it.
Yeah, I'm definitely gonna have to push my dealer in this point because even my CU is higher than the Ford promotional rates in place when I ordered back in June.
