Private Cash Offer

[gwjoeymed]

Hey there,
Ordered Explorer Sport Oct 1. ETA Dec 5th. Shall see!

I followed the advice of others on this site and requested the brochures for vehicles. Said I was buying a vehicle in 1-2 months. (All of this is true).

Included in the small brochures are add'l Private Cash offers of $750 expiring in two months. So, go ahead and give it a try and go to fordvehicles.com and request 2 or 3 brochures. I'm here in AZ. I've heard these offers may be customer/region specific. But it doesn't hurt to try! Definitely solidified my decision to purchase the explorer over another car with free/extra money.

Good luck.

Yup this works. Also even if the private cash coupon expires after you are supposed to take delivery of your Explorer, the dealer should be able to lock it in. I know that's what my dealer did with the incentive and the private cash coupon.

Didn''t know about the "lock-in.' Thanks.

Can you do this after having placed the order?

Can you do this after having placed the order?

Yup, up till the time you sign the papers.

Ok - so by way of update, I requested the brochures on Ford.com and received the private cash offer as well - confirmed with my dealer I would be able to use it when I take delivery (hopefully early Dec). Thanks again to OP - I would not have done it otherwise.

Hope everybody saves a buck!

Just checked my spam email folder and realized the offer was sent there!

Got my email now and has the $750 private cash.

Salesman said

If it is still active when it comes in we can use it.

What's this all about?

 

[gwjoeymed]

They have an expiration date on it...the only downside. You can always request another one...? Maybe.

I tried unsuccessfully to get a "private cash offer", both online, and by calling Ford's marketing dept. It was almost the straw that nearly had me holding off on buying. But they won, and I ended up buying anyway.

Anyway, FWIW, when I was talking to the financing guy at the dealer when I bought, he told me that you only had about a 2% chance of receiving the private cash offer, but that if you applied at all the places that were possible (different vehicles on the ford web site, ford facebook pages, marketing, etc.) that these are all independent of each other so your chances of getting the offer increases. Don't know if that's true or not, but that's what he said!
