Question What's the Deal with Rebates?

I'm getting conflicting stories from dealers. In Baton Rouge, I'm told I can get $500 cash back and 0% for 36mos on a f150 SuperCrew. At a dealership in Texas, they tell me that's only for Explorers and if I choose to go with 0% I don't get any cash back. KBB shows that I should be able to get the $500 cash back and 0%. Anyone recently took advantage of this that can clear up the issue?

Also, on KBB it shows a $800 owner loyalty rebate but the dealer in Texas said that you have to had received something in the mail from Ford to add that. I can understand this one, but if anyone has more info I'd appreciate it.

A decent dealer can weasle you an Xplan, and the good interest rate.
I do believe that different dealers get different incentives, so they ALL may be telling you the truth.

I bought on 11/29 and it was either 0 % or rebate. I took 0%. May have changed since then. Only very good credit will qualify for 0%, 36 months. Don't know your credit status so you should ask if you qualify, just thought i would throw that in. You may be a multi-millionare. It that is the case. Just buy the dealership, sell yourself a truck below cost, and write off the loss.

There is a $500 rebate AND 36 month 0% interest from 12/21/01 until 1/2/02. This is a nationwide Ford incentive.

Call the Ford Rebate number at 800-642-4484 and ask them.

Actually, that number is an employee/retiree number. They wouldn't give me any info without being an A/X/D plan member.

That's strange. I've called that number several times and have asked for rebate information without mentioning anything about the above plans. I would keep trying and maybe you'll get a different rep to help you.
