Perhaps it differs stateside but with the last 7 factory orders I have made they would write up the offer to purchase based on the incentives CURRENTLY in place (3 Ford 4 Dodge). If the incentive gets better then I pay less, but if the incentives drop then I was protected at the agreed upon price. I always order since dealers never have an exact unit in stock that I want.

Same for me. Price was fixed with any incentives at the time I placed the order. I actually saved an additional $1,000.00 when I took delivery of my last factory order.

That sounds about right to me. The dealer has some wiggle room, but the major deals/incentives come from the manufacturer. If it was me, I would know EXACTLY what I want. I would tell the dealer EXACTLY what I want. I would also tell the dealer that your money is more important than dealer loyalty. If another dealer can find me that truck, I am buying from that guy.

Unless you want something really specific, it seems that they could find a sister dealer somewhere and trade a truck for it.

Otherwise, be prepared to jump when the new incentives come out. They are usually for a couple weeks at a time. Day 1 of the new incentive program, order your truck. If you haven' been given a VIN by the end of the incentive program, cancel your order.

Invoice minus incentives at the time of delivery is a good deal when ordering. Buck up and get er done!

Rebates and incentives offered are at time of delivery. This was the same on my Ram, Ford and VW that were ordered. Do your deligence on finding other incentives like professional groups or organizations. I had additional rebates from AQHA on my Ford and BusinessLink on my Ram.

I never asked about prepaying prior to delivery. The pay date should be the factor in getting incentives.
