  1. Spot on @bbf2530, she sure can if docs are not signed yet, if dealer cooperates, she should be able to get X plan w a pin, especially if she pushes that her order was made long before June 22 IMHO.
  2. In these times, thats a little bit of a variable question IMHO. Why ? Back in the Fall of 21, the listed MSRP for the various models increased several thousand $ to account for the new model year, which is natural and not uncommon. Now, well into 2022, the MSRP's listed on current window stickers have AGAIN gone up from even the earlier original adjusted higher MSRP of last Fall. Why ? Some of that has been due to an increased Manf Delivery Fee, and also an increased BASE PRICE for the vehicles going up again a few thousand $. Not nice, but not surprising in this manf environment with all the supply challenges and price increases they are seeing across the board. SO, to directly answer your question with those above caveats, it seems to be roughly $4-$8k below MSRP depending on WHICH MSRP you are referencing, and WHEN you actually ordered the vehicle, AND as importantly, is the Dealer honoring / accepting the X plan pricing in this limited inventory environment. Dealers CANNOT play with the X Plan pricing as it is a fixed %, so the only way around that is the Delaer can deny accepting an order with a "known" X Plan buyer, if said buyer discloses that on the front end. Hope that all makes sense, and is all In My Opinion, as this year more than others, there have been many more variables for certain !!!!
  3. Funny that, I also considered the same combo w the Denali, but for the $ ( also w a X plan ) the Navi was the way to go, even though now its been forever coming ! Speaking of the Xplan, did you see this tidbit out today ?? !!! Crikey !! Good point of reference though, is my dealer confirmed prior, they will honor my Xplan price lock in last October, but for any new ( as in now ) purchases w this above news, that looks to all change !! Thats a substantial savings, as w my current window sticker ( w higher than prior contracted cost ) its an $8k savings off MSRP from the word GO ! ! https://fordauthority.com/2022/05/ford-shareholder-vehicle-discount-program-to-end-in-june/ Ford has been restricting its X-Plan (or Friends & Neighbors plan, as it’s otherwise known) in recent years, excluding hot new vehicles like the 2021 Ford Bronco and the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning from that particular discount. Now, the Ford shareholder vehicle discount program is set to end next month as well, the automaker revealed at its 2022 shareholder meeting and also via a letter it sent out to those same shareholders recently. To this point, those that held at least 100 shares of Ford stock for six months were eligible to receive a Ford X-Plan PIN. However, as of June 1st, 2022, that will no longer be the case as the Ford shareholder vehicle discount program is now set to end. The program was originally created with the intention of putting shareholders behind the wheel of new Blue Oval vehicles at pre-determined prices, but that will soon no longer be the case. Shareholders that qualify for this program still have a few days to act, however. Ford included a form with its shareholder letter that can be filled out with basic information such as the person’s name, address, and the vehicle they’re interested in. Shareholders can submit that form, along with proof of Ford stock ownership, and still receive a PIN that effectively gives them X-Plan pricing through December 31st, 2022. From there, shareholders can visit any Ford or Lincoln dealer, who can confirm the individual’s X-Plan eligibility via their social security number and PIN. After choosing an eligible vehicle, the customer will receive a dealer invoice with the discounted price of that model, after which they can arrange financing or purchase the vehicle outright, then take delivery. We’ll have more on the status of this and all Ford discount programs soon, so be sure and subscribe to Ford Authority for 24/7 Ford news coverage.
  4. I hear ya @BigVette, but 3.5 months is a pittance in comparison to many here. Not making light of your timeline, just sayin many including myself have waited substantially longer. I ordered on 10/21/21 and why I have confirmation my build was completed the first week of May, here I sit still waiting for the vehicle to be delivered to the Dealer which Lincoln last estimated to be by early to mid June ! A full month after it was built and in close proximity for delivery to the build state being Kentucky. Point being, better hang in there and hope for the best w patience in this build environment w all that the manf's are having to do just to even build vehicles, and all IMO. ?
  5. Chip availability STILL being an issue it seems ....... Navi 4x4 Reserve L , Black n Tan interior, rear seat w massage and center console, NO rear Entertainment Ordered 10/21/21 Order confirmed 10/22/21 Numerous production estimate notifications along the way LAST actual email from Lincoln on 4/3/22 as regards 5/3 estimated production date 1st Production notice witnessed via tracking on 4/28 Dealer advised build date was 5/6 ( last updated sticker post build confirms this date ) Dealer advised Build Completed by 5/10 - was across a weekend Dealer advised vehicle "Produced" ......BUT was sent offsite, assuming it is awaiting a "Chip", dealer comments they have seen this prior Tracking still shows "In Production" now 7 days post Dealer confirmed Completion, and likely due to whatever the hold up is, presumed CHIP for something Needless to say I am not pleased w no definition on when it will be released to "Ship" to the dealer ........ Yes, my sticker also shows a couple $K price increase, ( which is on top of the couple $k it increased last year for the new model year, BUT, dealer said my price was locked last Fall when ordered ) = GOOD Now keep twiddlin fingers and wonder when the next surprise update will come ........ from whomever .........
  6. Mine is similar, ordered 10/21/21 w various Lincoln updates along the way. Finally showed in Production 4/29 when scheduled for 5/3. Now 2 weeks later still shows in Production, but, this past Tuesday 5/10 Dealer texted me that vehicle was BUILT, as in complete, even though tracking shows in Production. SO as others have seen, Lincoln's tracking site is not exactly spot on every day of the week relative to whats occurring. With any hopes we see our vehicles quicker than @Xraymd did after his Build, which was quite long post Production ...... I also already have aftermarket work scheduled for the vehicle when it arrives, so am anxious to get that moving along as well !
  7. Fair enough ! Question if you know, how long was it from time of Build completion / release, to time it arrived at the dealer ? ( Looks like Pugmire's lot )
  8. I have been advised via the regional rep ( March 22 ) that BL Special Edition is backed way up, as are Reserves with either black or black / roast interiors due to material supply issues. BL interiors themselves are NOT having those issues as its a different level of leather. Of course same is true with the late production allowance of the rear ent systems. Next Question will be this, since Lincoln already has released the "23" timelines, it makes me wonder if any of those "22" orders keep getting pushed back to mid year or later, will people drop those and opt to order a "23" model year instead ????? This was posted Friday in another thread ; " Per today's FDNB (Fleet Distribution News Bulletin) here's the production timetable for the 2022/2023MY Lincoln Navigator. 03/04/2022 - 2022MY Fleet Final Order Due Date 06/30/2022 - 2022MY Last Day to Spec Change 09/11/2022 - 2022MY Job Last Date 06/15/2022 - 2023MY Order Bank Open Date 07/14/2022 - 2023MY Scheduling Begins 09/12/2022 - 2023MY Job #1 Date The 2023 Lincoln Navigator Order Guide will be available on or about the date that the USOB (Unscheduled Order Bank) opens. The order guide will be available for download in the Dealer Order Guides section. All dates are subject to change. "
  9. Thank you very uch for that, agree I had concerns prior w the roast, but think it gives some nice contrast for my monochromatic black still coming and with the identical rear console. Great to see Lincoln finally added the rear cooling, and even massage too.
  10. Thanks for the Info. > Jesse < Could you please post a few broader / wider pics of the interior w the door open to see the seats and dash color details, and rear as well ? I ask as this "roast" interior looks better than I had expected. I have a Reserve L on order since order book opened in Oct 21 ( Infinite black monochromatic w all packages aside from rear screens ) and roast interior. Like others, my build date has been bumped numerous times, and just a few days ago the Regional Rep confirmed the only delay driving my order is the roast interior is backed up, as is the black interior. Im currently looking at May before arrival. Also interestingly enough, the other orders backed way up beyond even getting scheduled the Regional Rep said, was BL Special Edition in either blk / wht or blk / silver. Chips are NOT the issue at present, its other issues like leather etc. Sooooo, I sit and wait. Thanks for the effort, most appreciated ! AND LUCKY SCORE FINDING THE VEHICLE ON THE LOT. P.S > Given yr business, do you have any plans for under hood work ? ..... just curious.
