From my experience the rebates are only in effect when picking up your new Transit, not at the time of ordering. However I believe that some have had it written in the contract (rebate) at time of ordering from dealer. So just make sure you know what your getting into with rebates and have the salesman/dealer write it in the contract i.e. at time of ordering or when picked up. My 2 cents.
Exactly what I said and have been told my dealerships. I'm not even sure there is a place to write in any incentives or rebates when ordering. It totally depends upon when you pick the van up and what Ford is offering right then.
Which is why I listed my "concern" as what if because of Ford's foulup I end up taking delivery when the incentives are non existent or less than originally? (I really think they might be more because it will be closer to their build year now... April I think is that "cut off" ? So January they want to close out what's on the lots.
MY question was, if I ordered it, do I receive the incentive? I mean, the incentive is to clear the stock out... however, technically when it's delivered to the dealer it IS "on the lot" D....
Not sure but the $1000 handicap rebate might be good for 2 years.
