Thanks for the extensive response. It's outside 30 days. I have to wonder if there is something about the way the dealer did my paperwork that gives Ford the impression I was given an extra $9500 discount on the truck (actually $13500 after the actual 4K off MSRP discount!). If my RAV person...
Thanks for responding! I watched your video on your new truck and was like, "Why isn't my buyback this pleasant??" :LOL:
I'll probably have to escalate with a lawyer or take my chances in arbitration. The hilarious/sad thing is the part for my truck finally came in after over 3 months but I...
so to resurrect this thread, 8 weeks later I am still in negotiation with Ford.
Ford is refusing to reimburse the Federal and State EV credits applied to my purchase. I was under the impression these "rebates" were treated as cash down payments in the transaction.
(I am lined up for lemon law...
When you say "the value was based on what I paid", does that mean the number at the bottom of your bill of sale, or the subtotal before the tax rebates? Ford is taking the stance that my tax credits were discounts and not cash paid from the government on my behalf.
I started a new thread, this saga is ongoing, Ford is refusing to refund my tax credits:

Never mind I'll keep this thread going
Sorry for the redundant post, I already started a thread about this:
https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/anyone-do-a-buyback-in-2024-tax-credit-question.19517/
This thread can be deleted, I don't see a way to do it myself.
How tight is your house? Is it superinsulated? I'm in Maine and ductless mini splits are installed in new high performance (passive) construction without any supplemental heat. That said, I don't think it's realistic to expect any heat pump to work efficiently in -21F. That's when you fire up...
For 2024 Lightnings, the online configurator is a joke. You can’t add any packages or anything to price it out. I can’t figure out how to tell what equipment is even included in a package.
I’m stuck in Lemon buyback purgatory, so if I decide to pick up another Lightning I may be looking at...
I installed a 50A circuit for the range because that’s the demand for Thanksgiving Family Reunion Mode, where you’d be blasting every burner while broiling 4 casseroles and a turkey.
Hypothetical question, backup power for my house is a future project. Do you think running a burner or two on the induction range would trip the breaker? My range is on a 50A circuit but I figured making dinner wouldn't go near that.
Thanks! I’ve heard good things about Darlings. They had a Black XLT exactly like I wanted, I was ready to deal today and it sold earlier this week. I’m crying. All the other contenders are outside of ME so I lose $2K in EV rebates.
I spoke to Empire, they have some huge discounts and the saleswoman was nice. But they don't do the point of sale rebate. I asked about at least getting the IRS Form 15400 and I'm waiting to hear back (but I'm not getting my hopes up). If I give up my fixation on Pro Power there's some options...
I'm in the process of a buyback for my Pro and am starting to search for a replacement.
I'm in Maine. If anyone knows of a truck sitting at a (nice) dealer in New England (or willing to ship), I'd love to hear about it. I've dug through all the Maine dealer web sites thus far. There's a local...
For a Lightning, the SSV package is mostly cosmetic. It’s a regular Pro with ballistic fabric front seats, and black instead of grey for the back seats and headliner.
The only functional changes are power driver seat, reinforced seat backs to inhibit stabby passengers, reinforced dash for...
A couple days ago there was a (hilarious) thread about this very subject. The answer is yes, your dealer needs to provide you with a report that verifies they told the IRS about the sale. Since the rules are new for 2024 nobody knows what the IRS will do if you file for the refund without the...
