Okay, so it took two days

I think that is a realistic scenario.

This does not bode well for those that have….less than reputable…dealers and need to be able to stay on them about when it arrives. With it just “showing up” with no warning I can see where one missed phone call a dealer could say “we tried to get a hold of you…” and sell it.

I pray this does not happen to anyone but. Just another poor communication issue.

You got it, Justin is who I have spoken with. Similar situation with communication. I stop by to speak directly to him when I needed information and that worked well.
I come up with $5445 according to the flow charts. ( I reserved 8/2021, first order 10/21). I am worried about how the conversation will go about the additional PP. I printed out the EFC communications that another kind BG6 member posted, considering sending an email with all the information I have collected. I just don't want to wait until my Bronco is here and run into any battles! On the phone, I was told there was only MYTPP, no more retail PP. At the time I spoke to him, I didn't have the EFC documents to refer to. I would look forward to hearing how your future interactions go!

Yeah, we're in a similar boat for sure. Can you link the EFC document? I don't seem to have it. Want my tool chest full when I need it.

Your biggest ally in this isn't Ford nor your dealer, but is knowledge and tenacity to stay on top of it.

Model Year Transition Private Offer, is the amount of money you are eligible for due to price increases between model years. This one should be available in Smart Vincent under program number 38644. It is tied to you and the address your reservation/order was originally submitted under. So if you have moved during this 2 year process, you need to use your original address to find it. If you haven't moved and it still is not showing up in Smart Vincent (both Ford and your dealer can look it up and confirm it is not there). Your dealer needs to send an email to their Ford Rep (inventory manager). The Inventory Manager will them work with the C&I team to upload your cert. You might be wondering why isn't it there already? According to someone I spoke to,

"Ford had to upload 10's of thousands of these. It is a slow process. Each region is different. My region, my rep created a whole team just to handle these certs for Bronco and maverick. Sometimes the C&I team just need a little extra push. As they do not know when a particular Bronco will be built, or delivered."

The MYTPO is right now scheduled to expire on 7/05/2023. This means if we do not have our rig by then and they do not extend the deadline to use the certificate, then it will expire and we will miss out on that portion of Price Protection. BUT it has expired twice already this year and both times they extended the deadline. So fingers crossed they extend the deadline ... but even more fingers crossed we all have our rigs well before 7/5 lol.

As for the Retail Price Protection, I have not seen anything that has said this is no longer available. It will not and it will never show in Smart Vincent, as it is not a certificate. It is given at point of sale and the dealership is reimbursed 60-90 days later or you pay it upfront and the DEALERSHIP sends you a check. Or they should ... They could just be sketchy and choose to keep the money for themselves and that would be their right to do so. Ford doesn't enforce it.

So using my 4-Door OBX Sas, Mod Bumper, Hard Top, LUX, Tow ordered 10/13/2021 as an example:

Based on having a converted 2022 to 2023 Outer Banks 4-Door Order on or before 9/09/2022 (but not on or before 3/19/2021) I am eligible for $2,595.00 in 23MY Private Offer. This is the one that should show as a certificate in Smart VINCENT under Pgm #38644.


Based on having a 2023 Outer Banks 4-Door on order on or before 2/10/2023, I am eligible for 2023MY Retail Price Protection of $1,500.00



Because I have a 2023 Bronco on order with the HD Mod Bumper, LUX Package, MIC Hard Top, and Sasquatch Package on or before 3/15/2023 I am eligible for:

· HD Mod Bumper: $150.00

· LUX Package: $750.00

· MIC Hard Top: $1,200.00

· Sasquatch Package: $750.00

This 3/15/2023 section totals to $2,850.00 of additional 2023MY Retail Price Protection.



Model Year Transition Private Offer:



· This totals to $2,595.00 that will need to be available as a Private Offer Certificate in Smart VINCENT under Pgm #38644.



Retail Price Protection: $4,350.00

· This "retail price protection" is given at point of sale and the dealership is reimbursed 60-90 days later or I pay it upfront and the dealership sends me a check.





Total amount eligible for: $6,945.00

BUT only $2,595.00 of that will show in Smart Vincent as a cert to be applied at the time of sale. The other my dealer said I will pay and "if" (they use nothing but soft language and it bothers the heck out of me) they get the reimbursement from Ford, the dealer will cut me a check 60-90 days later.

Mine still is not showing in Smart Vincent. I spoke with a very nice Ford Rep on Thursday of last week who submitted a ticket to her supervisor to contact my dealership directly to guide them through the process of submitting the needed paperwork to have the cert uploaded. Fingers crossed this works ...

Again, we gotta KNOW the process and it seems, we must be on top of it.

Thank you for your expert summary of the process!

Thank you for your expert summary of the process!

Here's to hoping my study of the PP docs proves to be fruitful. All the horror stories on that PP thread give me anxiety. I'm talking about almost $7000 dollars of PP. That isn't chump change I want to lose out on due to being at a small dealer who didn't have the allocations to get me my rig sooner lol.

Right!? If we wanted to pay the ADM we would have done it 2 years ago!

 

[The Bronc]

When will this madness end!? Seriously I thought we would have been at a point in time when all of this would have self-corrected and we were back to purchasing vehicles at under MSPR. Prior to COVID less that 10% of vehicles sold for MSRP or above. It seems ridiculous to have to fight, plead, and declare victory when you can purchase at MSRP. I hope all of this comes back to bite the dealerships that have been charging ADM and not honoring verbally agreed upon pricing at the time of the DORA being submitted and or signed by the customer.

Nothing seems to be happening on the 5/1/2023 Build Week forum either, so not sure if that is encouraging or discouraging lol.

I was checking the spreadsheet and it looks like the modules stalled out after 100 to 200/871 on 04/27

Spoke too soon, just checked modules again, servers back up and modules have popped

Yay!!! Next best feeling to getting the "your scheduled" notification.

Just noticed that my PASS app is showing the "Activate Vehicle" button too!

Still showing as "down" for me ... wonder if it is just because my VIN is in progress or being produced or something ...
