You had to have had a 2022 model year reservation that was pushed pack to 2023, and you accepted the offer to extend your reservation to a 2023 model. But if you ordered after the $5k price hike I think that means you weren’t a part of the 2022 reservations pushed back to ‘23

Agreed. The dealer should have 0 say about the PCO. Ford inputs the PCO into smartVincent and it’s either there or it’s not…there is no “maybe” or “at the dealer’s” discretion involved

The only people I talked to at Ford were through their general customer sales number. I’m assuming my dealer was informed by their Ford rep that they could do exactly what they were telling me they couldn’t.

From my understanding a DORA is just a dated digital receipt that is made every time your vehicle changes in price or has a modification to the build. I don’t know how or where they look it up, but I don’t believe it is overly difficult to find since they got mine early in the morning after our...

Price protection isn’t exclusive to the lightning though. So the process to honor price protection shouldn’t be anything different with every other vehicle. I think part of the problem is such a large amount that dealers don’t want to expose themselves too much. Which still isn’t valid because...

One I saw had the front light bar and one had the rear light bar, so those wouldn’t be pro models. I did see one light gray (not sure what color ford calls it) that didn’t have the rear light bar so that one could possibly be a pro

If they upped your trade in offer to offset the taxes and you paid cash for the rest it basically ends up the same as long as you eventually get the refund. If you financed you’d be paying interest on that extra 5k but it would be somewhat marginal. It still boggles my mind that this is an issue...

@KurtsRPMGarage don’t want to get your hopes up but I just stopped by the dealer (had a small scratch that I’ll need to get buffed out) and there were AT LEAST 3 Lightnings that Tony said just came in last night and we supposed to be customer deliveries!

They never explicitly confirmed their rep told them how to do it. I told them how it was SUPPOSED to be done and they said no. They said they’d contact their rep in the morning and get back to me. They called me the next morning and just said “we found the original DORA from your order date...

Just drove home from the dealership with my truck! Everything went smoothly at the dealer and had no issues with the PCO or the price protection, but they said that was all clarified and taken care of this morning. So final price was $42,749 + around 4K for taxes, fees, registration + financing...

That I don’t know yet. I can let you know when I go in tonight.

I think you’ve got it correct. My invoice MSRP is $49,749, which was the price as of my order and not today. That is taking into account the price protection. When I get to the dealer tonight, they will apply the rebate for the $7000 private cash offer, which will reduce my purchase price out...

No that isn’t a DORA sheet. DORA is something within their system that they can check to see anytime a price change was made on a vehicle—including modifications to the build or price increases. If they signed and acknowledge your cash incentive sheet that is them acknowledging your price so...

going to pick it up in about 3 hours!

I think you're still confusing the $7k PCO and the $5k price protection. That sheet was given to me confirming my $7k private cash offer for being a MY 22 to 23 extension. The private cash offer according to the left side, as I understand it, is kind of like a discount code that you would...

Just don't lose it!

That sounds about right. I only added in the bed mat and azure gray tri coat paint. So I should be $49,750 - 7000 PCO. So $42,750 plus taxes, fees, registration, etc. And then the federal and CA rebates afterwards. Crazy to think that I'll be around $35,000 when its all said and done!

Sending you a private message with the business cards of both individuals I spoke with. They were both very pleasant despite our disagreements. I don’t think at any point they were trying to knowingly cheat me but I just don’t think they were fully aware of how things were supposed to be handled...

She must not be able to handle all the instagram and twitter spam in her DM's demanding that the price protection be honored!

My delivery date bounced around a few times because it was stuck in Mira Loma for over 3 weeks. Both the sales reps said they are so backlogged at Mira Loma that some vehicles (mine included) were basically getting pushed and stuck in the back because there were so many vehicles being offloaded...
