rmc523 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Aka making vehicle prices what they should be instead of elevated? This program sounds desperate, IMO. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know, it’s an easy PR win and right now, Ford needs all the good PR they can get. Edited April 3 by fuzzymoomoo 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, there’s plenty of capacity in the United States for it, let alone Canada. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Just remember this usually replaces any existing rebates so the net price may actually be higher now depending on the rebates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can confirm. Several Broncos at my local dealer were > $10k off last week, now sitting at $5-6k off. A BRaptor that was $21k off is now $7k off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're absolutely correct. I was looking at a 24 Escape, and the price has gone up ~$2k. They were offering a 4k rebate on the 24s but now the employee pricing makes it more expensive.

This report says basically any of the specialty models aren't eligible (any Raptors, Super Duties, or specialty Bronco/Mustang models, as well as '25 Expy/Navi)....basically they're throwing it on everything they have excess inventory of lol.

What can happen other than prices going up one way or another unless tariffs are rescinded? This pricing program may help short term as a bandaid but I’m more concerned beyond June 2.

Confirmed. I worked at a furniture store in college. We bought some cheap wingback chairs and marked them at $99. Nothing. Raised them to $300 and sold both in 3 days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
