How to get Ford's Private Cash Offer (PCO OFFER)
- OP 🔹 modified
- Start date
I’ve tried several times and they’ve told me they can’t do that. However, on one occasion I received a new, different PCO the next day via email. Perhaps they can’t outright tell you. A dealer has also given me their number and told me to see if they can extend one.
I talked with my dealer yesterday and he confirmed Ford would not allow it to be used unless I took delivery by 4/4/22 because I ordered before the incentive was issued to me. So he did what any good salesman would do. He ordered me a new one exactly the same, and said if by magic the first order comes in before 4/4/22, we can apply it and it's yours. If the first order comes in after, we'll have no problem selling it, and we can just wait for the next one to come in for you because that will be good even if after 4/4/22. I don't mind waiting another couple of months to save $2,500.
If your salesman / dealership want to put in a little extra work, they can apply a PCO mid-order. I'm not sure how, but mine was able to do it.
This is the frustrating part for most here. Every few pages of the thread, someone comes and says that their PCO was put in mid-order. And in 100% of these cases, absolutely no direction is provided on how it was or how it can be done.
Then based on this incomplete information, we call our own dealers and are told that there is simply no way to apply PCO mid order, and they would happily do it if there was a way. They do suggest that our forums are full of half ass crap information that is not backed up by facts.
It would be nice if you could do everyone here a favor and ask you dealer how it was done so that others can actually benefit and not just get frustrated by bits of information they cant really use.
Somewhat related, but I was able to get an expired PCO applied.
In my case, I changed my order from an F250 to F350. The F250 order had they PCO applied but switching to the F350 created a new order and the PCO didn’t get transferred. Months later after some insistence on my part the dealer contacted their regional representative and got it applied.
Ask that they contact their regional representative.
I have been lurking since placing my F150 Tremor order mid November and I was able to get my dealer to lock in $2000 PCO because I got the vin. My PCO expired 1/4/22 and I have not gotten my truck yet so I can't fully verify they actually locked it in yet but will know hopefully by the end of February when it is estimated to be delivered.
I found the following in another thread on here when I was trying to get my dealer to lock it in just in case they said they can't do it. It is post #41 in following thread.
Dealer won’t apply Private Cash Offer
Ok, for the first time on this Forum I think that I may have something useful to contribute rather than just being another chuckle monkey. Hopefully, this can help others as well. I was able to sit down with both my salesperson and the GSM at the same time to try and work out the mystery of my...

I was able to sit down with both my salesperson and the GSM at the same time to try and work out the mystery of my $2,500 PCO that "expires" today. Our first call was to FMC Customer Service (800 334-4375). They were able to verify that I did in fact have a valid PCO but when the dealership started asking questions, they said were only a customer facing dept and could not talk to the dealer. The GSM was told by FMC Customer Service to contact the Dealer Assistance Center. We then called the Dealer Assistance Center and explained the situation and they verified who I was and that I did indeed have a valid PCO. The Dealer Assistance Center confirmed that until a VIN is issued for my order the dealer could not lock the PCO into Vincent. The Dealer Assistance Center instructed the GSM to enter a VIN from a similar truck into Vincent to verify eligibility and to print out the info from Vincent and save it along with proof of the order date until the truck gets delivered. Once the truck gets delivered the dealership needs to submit for an exception and include the order date and eligibility verification.
The GSM said that he was comfortable with this process and is going to honor the PCO. It was a PITA to get the GSM in the room with the salesman and myself, but I am happy with the outcome. All the calls were on speakerphone, so all parties were able to participate fully.
If anyone is needing a vehicle, I highly recommend Josh Stamper @ North Central Ford in Richardson, TX - I have purchased several cars from him and he is a stand-up guy and ex-LEO to boot"
I did not have to use this method but hopefully it can help some of y'all.
I got a Ford coupon/rebate for $2000 off the SD in the mail in August, my truck was ordered and delivered with in the dates listed and the dealer took $2000 off of MSRP when I took delivery, that was December 31st 2021
I got excited last night because I got a pamphlet from ford in the mail but it was a bronco brochure… lame

I don’t know what she’s done or who she’s scared, but some how my wife had managed to receive two separate PCOs in the last week and a half, one for 2,500 and one for 3,000, each with separate codes. Hours of trolling and hacking when all I had to do is mention it in passing to her…

Question I have a PCO for 3k like everyone has mentioned but the fine print says
Place order or take new retail delivery from an authorized Ford or Lincoln Dealer's stock by 4/4/22.
Ordered 1st of Feb. i want to believe this will be honored even if not delivered since I placed order prior to 4/4. What is everyone’s take? Salesman says it’s was locked in when I ordered but feel I should go in next week and get more info or can I get them to associate this with my order now and lock in?

How?? Lol been trolling for months!
As long as you had the PCO when you placed the order you should be good…where a lot of dealers don’t honor is when you receive one after you place the order but it expires before you take delivery
That’s interesting. I received my PCO after ordering and will expire before taking delivery. Dealership said it would be a coin toss as to whether it would be honored. I called Ford central customer service because I don’t want to just flip a coin… they told me it would be impossible to honor my PCO.I have been lurking since placing my F150 Tremor order mid November and I was able to get my dealer to lock in $2000 PCO because I got the vin.

At this point I might order another truck to take advantage of the $3k on top of an already great deal. The new truck could likely end up being a ‘23, and I’ll sell whichever one I like least.
My PCO showed up before I ordered so that might be the difference.
I received a $3,000 rebate but my dealer said it was because I typically buy a new truck every 2-3 years. Not sure if this is true or dealer just made it up.
My dealership said all I had to do was order before 4/4/22. Doesn’t make a difference how long for the truck to get here. It will be honored
Same here
