#703 of 705 Got my 09 FEHL - at the correct price, and allocation info by vdepuy Jan 12, 2009 (4:08 pm)
My FEH (limited) came in... dealership (Bowditch Ford, Norfolk VA) called on 2Jan to say that it had arrived, and that the price went up $1300. And that they couldn't do anything about the price increase (although a contract lawyer did verify that price quote + deposit = implicit contract, and in some states, you can get 3 times the amount of dispute plus lawyer fees). We went up on 3Jan, they insisted that price protection was not applicable to hybrids, and they wouldn't honor the original price. After various communication with Ford customer service, and with my deepest thanks to the gentleman on blueovalforums who posted a copy of the Ford email to dealers saying that all orders placed before August 1st were price protected, the dealership agreed to give it to us at the correct (lower) price. So we drove back up on the 10th (7 hours round trip each time) and got my hybrid... which I ordered June 3rd. Loving it!!! Also, the salesperson said that all vehicle allocation is based on the number of vehicles of that model & option package... so if your dealership only sold 3 FEH's last year, they can only get 3 FEH's from Ford this year, unless someone releases an allocation they don't want.

Replying to: vdepuy (Jan 12, 2009 4:08 pm) Thank you ever so much for your post about the Ford letter.   I ordered a FEH in May and when I picked it up in September, I was told that only Lincolns had price protection. Reluctantly, I paid the new higher price.   After reading your post, I printed out the Ford letter you cited at blueovalforums and took it to the salesman on Monday. Today I received a check from the dealership for the difference. He said the dealership had not seen the letter.   So for all of you out there that placed a firm retail (even x-plan) order before August 1, 2008, you should get a copy of the letter.   Thanks again to vedpuy.

Wondering where real-world prices are now -- what are you folks seeing offered by dealers, offered by you, and agreed to?   (Looking mostly at Sport non-leather + moonroof, invoice somewhere around $28K)   We're in WA, and I don't see a ton of FEH's on dealer-lots, but I've just started looking.
