willsyaya57 Posted January 25, 2014 at 08:03 PM Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 at 08:03 PM Oh, dear. I am at the dealership and they have located the FFE of my dreams. We got the price on a 2014 titanium with $3000 in extras down to $30,182 by agreeing to finance the minimum of $7500 (a $4007 rebate for that) and using the x-plan price (MCA, about $2000 discount for that), and planning on $4007 tax rebate next year. Started filling out paperwork. Turns out the discount for financing applies only if you lease. Crap, I feel like I've been sucker punched. I am now at lunch, told the salesman I needed to settle my stomach ( which I surely do! ) and walked out of the showroom.Advice anyone?Willsyaya57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphy Posted January 25, 2014 at 08:32 PM Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 at 08:32 PM You get the $4007 immediately as a pass through if you lease and can't claim a tax credit next year.If you purchase you don't get the $4007 now and must wait until next year to claim it as a tax credit. To get the $4007 as a tax credit you must have a tax bill of $4007 or more for 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willsyaya57 Posted January 25, 2014 at 08:39 PM Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 at 08:39 PM Right. I don't want to lease. It sure sounded like I was getting the $4007 twice. I even asked, "are you sure? That's some coincidence that both incentives are the exact same number". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pass it though to the person that leases the car up front and then get it back when they file their taxes next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope can't get it twice, otherwise you'd see a whole lot more here on the forum leasing.... hope it turns out well there with the dealer, don't be afraid to go home and think it over, and let us know how it goes. We'll leave the light on for ya. willsyaya57 and mmmhmmmm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willsyaya57 Posted January 26, 2014 at 01:52 AM Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 at 01:52 AM Yippee! I am the proud new owner of a 2014 FFE Titanium in Deep Impact Blue. It all turned out okay. The salesman felt terrible about his mistake. I suggested they make up for it by giving me a better offer on my trade in, and they did! I feel really great about the deal. MSRP was $40,225. After the tax rebate next year, the net cost of the car is $31,067 plus the cost of a one way airline ticket to pick it up just outside Cincinatti. I will do that next weekend, which will be my birthday. How perfect is that? Then I will have 900 miles or so to settle in and get to know my new ride. Of course, I will be driving, so I won't be able to refer to the owners manual.I am one happy woman! mmmhmmmm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So to do your homework in advance, go to www.motorcraftservice.com and on the left you will see a link 'owner guides' where you can follow the menus and download a PDF version of the owner manual, and it's also much easier to search in a PDF than to flip paper pages looking for a given term. willsyaya57 and mmmhmmmm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
