I’m picking my car up Saturday, and I ended up financing through USAA for 5.74%. When speaking with the finance manager at the dealer, they stated they haven’t seen below 6.5% in 6+ months even with excellent credit.

Mine has been sitting in melvindale for three weeks now with no movement.

I know there are many waiting far longer than me, but mine has a built date of 8/16, ship date of 8/21, and still hasn’t left the loading ramp in Melvindale, MI. Seems to be quite an inconsistent process.

I ordered a base GT on 3/27. Tracker shows shipped on 8/21, and my car is still sitting in Michigan waiting to ship. Not sure what the process is, but it seems a lot of vehicles are built and waiting for weeks/months.

I received my schedule email today. Base GT, 6 speed, no options. Scheduled for week of 7/31. ordered on 3/27 from Granger.

Nice! I’ve got a rental house in old town Arvada. Definitely a nice area.

Where in CO are you located? I’m in thornton and have a GT order through granger as well.

Thanks @Zach@Granger for clarifying. I have an order through your dealer and hoping it gets scheduled soon!

Good information to know that changing the order would update to the newest price level code.

I spoke with my salesperson at Granger, and they told me I am price protected as well.

Does anyone know what the price level code means? My order was submitted with the price level code of 420, which does not have the GG tax. But price level code 425 does have GG tax. Does the new price level code supersede all previous orders?

I definitely agree. My frustration in the matter is that my deal I agreed to has changed. And possible lesson learned for putting a non-refundable deposit down, but I also assumed that all the pricing and information was accurate.

You are right, it’s not Ford raising the price. However, this tax is included in the total MSRP of the vehicle. So the price and order information ford put out was not accurate.

I ordered through Granger, who I’ve had good luck with in the past. We’ll see how they respond when I call them tomorrow.

That’s what I’m going to find out from them tomorrow. They state the deposit is non-refundable, so we’ll see what they say.

The dealer can no longer offer me the vehicle at our agreed upon price. Gas guzzler tax is included in the price of the vehicle, not paid after the fact. My dealer does not collect any tax from me at the time of sale, and I’m responsible for that at the time of registration. If what you said is...

I agree. It’s not paid after the fact. It’s built into the price of the vehicle.

I completely agree with you. However, it becomes a breach of contract as the dealer is no longer able to sell you a vehicle for the agreed upon price. Creates a bit of a predicament.

Exactly. My build will now be $1,000 more than my order sheet and the price I signed with the dealer. I also have a $1,000 non-refundable down payment, so It’ll be interesting to see how they respond.

My order sheet does not show the gas guzzler tax. And the initial ford order guide shows the base GT does not qualify for the gas guzzler tax.
