Ultimate 2023MY PRICE PROTECTION Flowchart

[RagnarKon]

How do we go about proving that our dealers received the retail price protection reimbursement from Ford? I can't believe it is on us to bring proof, and that dealers are getting away with this. Truly mind blowing. I am owed about $3.5k from Feb and March price increases, so the amount is not insignificant.

Truthfully we have no way of proving it. The invoice price on your Bronco would have changed within Visions, and the dealer payment statement would have been with the price protection money. We as customers have access to neither of those.

Goes back to the "your dealer selection is incredibly important to your overall experience" because fundamentally we are buying the Bronco from our dealers, and not Ford. But... of course... most people weren't aware of all of this when they ordered.

With the power of hindsight, I should have made a post like this back in March 2021 when price protection was first announced, but I've never had an issue with a dealer upholding retail price protection (bought from four different Ford dealers over the past 2-3 decades), so I couldn't even fathom this becoming an issue.

@RagnarKon - does having a 'golden ticket' Raptor allocation change anything? My ford website is showing old pricing still. My raptor order was placed 9/22 but built 5/23.

I generally stay away from Bronco Raptors because so many dealers were charging above MSRP—even for golden ticket holders. When someone asks about the Bronco Raptor my usual response is "consult with your dealer".

BUT, technically the Bronco Raptor does quality for retail price protection if it was submitted as a retail order. It does not, however, qualify for the model year transition offer, and you will not be getting any private offer certificate.

without reading thru 48 pages, can someone confirm if receiving a less than the PCO amount has happened? I received my "rebate" for the original price protection on an OuterBanks and it was $150 shy of the correct amount.

I received it as a check from my dealer (super thankful for that). I purchased at the end of April, ordered August 2020

I just got a call from my dealership saying my order will be ready for pick up tomorrow.
2 Door Base Bronco. i have not changed the order since Feb 18, 2022 when I made the reservation but my order confirmation according to Ford "dominos pizza" tracker says order confirmed on 9/9/2022. Do I quality for multiple columns according to the price protection flowchart??

Hey guys, I need your help here. I've spent the last few hours reading through the last 28 pages and couldnt find a case like mine. My Bronco is ready to be picked up but the final numbers don't sound right to me.

In August 2021, I placed an order for my Base 2-door Bronco. In October 2021 order got updated to 2022YM (only color changed). September 2022 order was updated to 2023MY (no changes). In October 2022 added SAS, Mod Bumper and Roof Rails. In January 2023 I received the email to drop SAS for $2500 reward and the increased likelihood of being built in 2023 - which I did.

A week after drooping SAS, I received the "going into production" email. Scheduled for mid April. It got built on the week of 04/19/23 and sticker issued 04/12/23. (Yes, it got hit with every possible price increase).

To my understanding, I should qualify for columns B, C and D. As well as the $2500 Order Modification (Model Year Transition?) program. Dealer states they cannot stack all three offers, so he's honoring only 2 ($2845+$2500) The Sales Manager acknowledges all three (PO, PP and Transition) but says "the system" let's them honor only two.

Coming from one of the very popular dealers in this forum, I was very surprised of that answer.

Has anyone gotten or heard of a similar response?

Also, am I accurate on my assumptions of qualifying for all three?

Thank you!

You mention that you added Sasquatch and roof rails in October. Then you removed Sasquatch to get the $2500. Do you still have a MIC top? If so, you don’t qualify for the $2500.

I just picked up my Bronco from Chapman on Friday. I qualified for and got prior year PP, $2500 PO, and mid year PP.

Ok, just completed my deal.

Original order was Feb 2021 and dealer promised 3% under invoice.

Every order I placed the dealer promptly sent me a DORA that included MSRP and Invoice pricing, so kudos for transparency.

My Ford Account shows that I "ordered" my car on 18 Jan 2023, which was the date I dropped SAS and LUX. I have a 18 Jan 2023 DORA.

When my car showed up they completely honored the Column A Private Offer, $2500 Modification, and 3% under Invoice Pricing. I provided them my certificate numbers; there was no confusion about stacking the 2 Private Offers that had the same Cert #.

However, that invoice pricing was based on the 4 Apr 2023 Invoice that came with the vehicle (which they provided) -- so after the two MY23 price increases.

Regarding Columns C&D...that is all internal Ford Stuff and is incumbent on the dealer passing it along. I even passed them the exact two PDF Ford Memo (not just the memo number, but the actual PDF) that stated my order would be price protected. It fell on deaf ears. The invoice that came with the Bronco even stated that it may not reflect final pricing based on rebates, incentives, etc...

Anyway, I did get a total of $9511.82 off MSRP which is still a fine deal....however still missing the additional $2500 price increases.

Oh well.

2-doors come with the MIC top only. No soft option for those.

So, to confirm, did you get all three discounts honored? Private offer, price protection and modification offer?

Sorry, I missed that it was a 2-door.

Yes, I got all 3 honored.

All 3 honored PLUS your below invoice offer?

 

[McBadlands]

Yes. It was exactly what I expected.

I estimated that I should have price protection up to $6745 based on the flow chart. I was under the impression however that all of these would be invalid for me since my original reservation was from 8/6/21? I have converted to 3 different orders in that time (MY21,22,23) and am now scheduled for production on 6/12/23. Am I understanding this correct?

 

[RagnarKon]

I have a favor to ask the wider community:

If you had a Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, or Wildtrak on order, and that window sticker was generated after May 12th.... it would be extremely helpful if you could post the Base Price and the Invoice Date (the last 6 digits listed under "Special Order") that is listed on your window sticker.

My gut feeling is Ford is playing with the base price to account for the removal of the cloth seats... and therefore my flowchart needs an update.

My Bronco arrived at the dealer, so I called Ford and my Private Cash Offer finally showed up. The only issue is that my MY23 Transition Offer is the Column B amount, instead of the Column A amount. Has anyone else experienced this? Can my dealer fix it with Ford?
