Can you go to the dealer and get it credited as a down payment, then pay the balance when the car arrives?

They also have a squeeze green hatch that they are keeping on the showroom floor.
The hatch that I originally ordered still wasn't in yet though. I sure am glad I gave up waiting on that one and bought a stock unit instead.

Oddities abound!

Mine expires on the 7th and unless my car arrives on Tuesday at the dealer I am out of luck as well. I went on the Ford website and ordered another brochure hoping it will come in time. If you should hear back Tiki, mind sharing the advice Sam gave you on here? Thanks

Huh. I may have that brochure at home, but didn't see the coupon, and don't know the dates. Since we already have the car, I guess we're out of luck?

here is Sam's answer!"As long as you have the car on order - we will make an exception. Dealer will need to send exception request to local Ford rep. " so yah take that local dealers!!!!!!!

I got the $750 cash postcard in the mail on the day that the Fiesta I ordered was delivered at the dealer. The fine print said it could NOT be combined with the $595 free SYNC upgrade that I was already getting. So they substituted the $595 for $750 and re-did the paperwork when I purchased the Fiesta the next day. The dealer folks made some phone calls to make sure this was OK before doing it. My understanding is my Fiesta was in dealer inventory for a day when I bought it. It wasn't "mine" until I signed the papers and coughed up some money.

I hate to jinx it, but I got the dealer to sell me mine at invoice, then I got the SYNC reservation 595, and the private cash 750. The ford rep personally delivered it (I was the first to get one on the east coast) which may have played a factor in me being able to use both.

Sounds like you got a great deal.

I put money down on it and signed the paperwork on it to purchase with the understanding from the dealer it was going to arrive "any day" and that was over a month ago. They wrote up the contract for purchase showing the 750.00 discounted. I found the car using the search for available cars on dealers lots around my area after I walked away from dealing with my local dealer - on a car they were going to make a trade for- due to their treatment of me. My car was dealer stock that they ordered and was built to my understanding in June. It's been in transit to them now for over two months and the coupon expires tomorrow. I mentioned this to the sales manager when he called to give me an update last Friday and he seemed as if I could no longer use it. I would think with the inability to even get sufficient dealer stock they would make some exceptions as certainly this isn't the norm I also got an additional 350.00 off sticker through negotiations with them so I wonder if since I signed the paperwork showing those discounts if they have to honor it even though the car did not arrive on their lot prior to the coupon experation date. I ordered another brouchure just in case and hopefully it will come as I have no projected arrival date other than it currently sits on ramp 2E in Baltimore. I also plan to use the info Tiki got back from Sam as my arguing point should they give me a negative response. Who knows I have never had such difficulty trying to buy a new car. I always walked in, signed the paperwork and drove home with the vehicle the same day so this is certainly a first for me and I suppose many others. I also got a pin for x plan from a friend who is a retiree that I am going to use and have informed them of this so I am either going to get a good deal when it comes or I am going to pay nearly 1,600k more than I originally planned. At this point I am pretty much ready to put this entire experience behind me to not argue anymore and pay the 750.00 just to get it done and be grateful for the 350.00 dealer discount and the x plan discount.
