fusionff Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) I am trying to finalize a deal on an MKZ, and could use some help in figuring out an incentive that I see, but the dealer doesn't. I guess through PM would be best if any more information is needed. They see the $1000 incentive in Vincent, Program # 11685, but not the one shown below (It does show on their website though). It's a Black Label, fully loaded, 3.0 fully loaded. Location = NJ. Thanks for any assistance. Manufacturer Offer10 Bonus Customer Lincoln AFS cash $500 cash backBonus Customer Cash Offer only valid 3-01-2018 through 4-02-2018 Program #11687: Take new retail delivery from dealer stock by 04/02/2018. See dealer for complete details. See State Disclaimer * Edited March 15, 2018 by fusionff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 11687 shows up for me in both GA and NJ zip codes using the x plan site. But it’s $1K in GA and $500 in NJ. Give me your zip code and I can check it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusionff Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Zip is 07047. I will not be using X plan though, so if it's tied to that, I'm out of luck. But I don't think that it matters X plan or not regardless. (I was using X plan, but we worked out a much better deal without X plan.) The sales manager is going to check with the regional rep tomorrow on it. Thanks. Edited March 15, 2018 by fusionff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Yep still shows $1K and $500. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusionff Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Yep still shows $1K and $500. Thanks so much. You are a HUGE asset to these Ford & Lincoln forums. It seems that I know as much, if not more than these guys at the dealership. They even 'forgot' to include my First Responder incentive at first ($500), even after I already had it confirmed with Ford and handed them my certificate. Hopefully we'll work it out and I'll pick up the car next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fusionff Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 One more incentive question, regarding the 'Competitive Conquest Bonus Cash', Program # 30261. Would my Ford Fusion qualify me for that incentive also? Not sure what the consider 'Competitive'. Dealer said they were checking on that also, but I'm not holding my breath for an answer there. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fusionff Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 I have a final Incentive question. I just received an MKZ Brochure in the mail today, and attached to the front cover is a $750 Private Cash Offer, with my name & address attached. I sent it to my salesman, and he said that it may be tied to financing. Can you tell me what exactly the Bonus is here, is it $750 only with financing, or, $500 with cash deal. It's Program #33761. Also it says it cannot be used with Private offers. Is the First Responder Incentive considered a 'Private Offer'? Thanks again, picking it up tomorrow, so no more questions after this.

akirby Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 The $750 is good regardless. It looks like the $500 is an additional bonus for financing with Lincoln. You don’t need to finance with Lincoln to get the $750. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t need to finance with Lincoln to get the $750. That's great to know, thanks. I don't understand how the dealers seem unaware of these incentives, I guess 99% of the customers don't look into their purchases, so the salesmen simply don't know.

akirby Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 They just plug the VIN and your info into VINCENT and it spits out the incentives including the $750. So they don’t really have to know much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I’ve been lucky to have good salespeople the last 15 years. But we don’t plan to buy anything new for at least 5-6 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusionff Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) I was able to apply the $750 Offer, I had to call in for an 11 digit Certification number though. The dealer couldn't figure how to apply it themselves, luckily I had a contact at Lincoln Concierge to call and get the number. It worked out perfectly in the end, and I drove it away at an incredible price. Thanks again. Edited March 23, 2018 by fusionff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jniffen Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) Congrats on your new 'Z. We were looking for the 3rd car in the family, but the backseat headroom for the 'Z was too low for my 20year old son and for me that matters. Was checking on the 'X but for their $$$, the was no Revel included. Edited March 31, 2018 by jniffen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusionff Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Thanks a lot guys, I'm extremely happy with this car. And a few more pictures before we let this thread fade away.

FunktasticLucky Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I won't let this thread fade away. That's a great looking car. I placed an order for a 2018 from the factory the beginning of the month. I'm super excited to finally be in a brand new and much nicer vehicle. Have you decided whether you're going to have it Ceramic coated or not? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I think they are ugly cars. Good luck with it though. Cool story bro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
