Sanity Check -- New Ford Purchase

    Hello, I bought a new Ford truck a week ago. The dealership was under new ownership so things were a little chaotic.

    There's one specific item I am hoping to ask about/understand. I qualify for the Military discount of $500 through ID.me. The dealership wants the coupon and I'm fine giving it to them, however, and this is my question--they didn't write it into the "discounts and rebates" section of the deal paperwork. The only item there is $250 delivery-type fee waived.

    The when I asked they said they had taken it off the initial asking price--again, I'm fine with that.... but does this sound like a normal thing the dealer should do--baking the coupon into the deal price and have it not be part of the deal paperwork?

    Thank you for sharing any insights! :D

    probably in fine print on the deal... ALL REBATES TO DEALER. So, you will sign that over to them. i may be wrong though. Ski

    They are going to stick to their guns and say that’s what they did, and that may be the truth. You’ll never know at that dealer for sure. The only other option I see is go shopping at another dealer and play the game all over, settle on the PRICE of the truck, NOT the payment, then drop that coupon in their lap.

    If you got a deal on the truck, then it's in there.

    if it's a rebate, you paid taxes on it. if it was a discount, then you didn't pay taxes on it. figure out the taxes and see what the selling price was.

    Thanks @Razr! This is the answer. The site was down last week and couldn't process the rebate. I had to re-apply and get a new code which they put against the offer price. All sorted.
