ChuckJ Posted August 28, 2013 at 03:03 PM Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 at 03:03 PM There is a new incentive program from Ford tied to Facebook. Not all dealers are advertising it but you can click on a dealer that does, get the certificate number, print it out and take it to another dealer. It's a $500 one that is applied by Ford themselves after you make your best deal with the sales manager. It's called a $500 Private cash offer and it's available with either buy or lease. Because it is new, dealers may not be used to it and at first mine was rejected as they couldn't find it on their certificate data base. We couldn't reach the incentive folks on Saturday when I bought it, but Monday I called the program supervisor (Debra at 800-403-5225) and told her the problem. She called the dealership and straightened it out. Tuesday I took the coupon up there again and it went right through. Payment is suppose to be within 6 weeks.

dlb92 Posted August 28, 2013 at 03:48 PM Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 at 03:48 PM This coupon is not worth it because you can use the $750 one by requesting their brochure. At the bottom it says one or the other--I'd go with the $750. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckJ Posted August 28, 2013 at 05:26 PM Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 at 05:26 PM True, but I requested the $750 coupon a couple of weeks ago and haven't gotten it yet. ChuckJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckJYou don't need the physical coupon, a day or so after you request it--it is automatically entered into Ford's computer system any dealer can look it up and use it. Same thing goes for the $500 coupon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckJ Posted August 28, 2013 at 07:08 PM Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 at 07:08 PM Wow, they looked under my name and didn't find it.....in fact, I looked with them. Interesting, when I called the supervisor for incentives, she didn't mention their was a better one. :) Well, I'm satisfied with what I got.

murphy Posted August 28, 2013 at 07:24 PM Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 at 07:24 PM Requesting a brochure does not guarantee that you will get a coupon. I got a coupon without requesting anything, probably because I was an existing Ford customer with a four year old car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckJ Posted August 28, 2013 at 07:43 PM Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 at 07:43 PM Well, at least people now know they can get the $500 coupon instantly. ChuckJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a coupon without requesting anything, probably because I was an existing Ford customer with a four year old car.I requested 4 coupons and I got 4 $750 coupons. My mom requested 4 coupons and she got 4 $750 coupons. If you request it and you don't get it you are requesting the wrong vehicle brochure or you should try again under someone else in your family's name.

shaggy314 Posted August 29, 2013 at 07:09 PM Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 at 07:09 PM Also, I'd STAND there while you verified it is in the system. I got screwed out of my $750 coupon as my dealer claimed it was entered but on day of sale, it wasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
