Ford Family and Friends discount - back on in April 2013???

[naddis01]

I went to my local dealer today and they didn't know anything about it.

Does someone want to be my friend? Like I said, I am willing to compensate. Feel free to PM me.

[naddis01]

Awesome! Thankyou very much.

[GT69]

Well it would be great, I'll be buying a new GS in July.

Does anyone have a ticket left?

Bit of thread digging, but I heard that "Friends of Ford" Is still on?? If so anyone feel charitable enough to help out a stranger. More than happy to compensate the favour
Are former employees eligible to "sponsor"??

[efirestorer]

Yes - former employees ( retired employees - not sure if sacked employees get in the scheme ) are eligible - have just had a retired employee sponsor me. It is also essential that the friend taking advantage has never worked at Ford. As an aside - is there anyone familiar with the scheme reading this who can comment on the amount of " Dealer delivery fee " that the seller can charge. Is it a fixed amount or whatever the seller decides.?

[Sinead Phipps]

I'm happy to 'sponsor' a friend as well... as for the 'dealer delivery fee', that amount is up to each individual dealer to determine.

Sinead, I think you should sponsor Road Warrior. He has over the last few months been in written contact with Government agencies and politicians asking what percentage of fleets are Australian made and questioning the current practices. Road Warrior has in recent times done more to promote buying Australian and preferably Australian made Fords than anyone I know of.

From this work, a number of media outlets starting questioning why aren't governments buying more Australian made vehicles. PS I think he has been looking to buy a Titanium Territory!

Awww shucks Phil. But We bought a car last week.


Thanks for vouching for me tho. I should add that those things you mentioned were a team effort and you were part of that team as well :-)

Thanks, a current colleague at work helped me out (formerly of geelong fords plant). It looks aa though dealer delivery is different for each dealer as D/D fee for all different and the dealers furthest from the factory charged more

Hahaha no worries. Thanks back. Still stand by those words.

Congrats on the new Titanium Territory AWD Just noticed the updated signature.

I'm another looking for a "friend"! :-) Anyone have a ticket I could use, after a Territory Titanium and would work out very nicely indeed...

My late father worked for Ford Broadmeadows for over 30 years. he retired around 1985. He appased away a couple of months ago. Im wondering wether my surviving mother is still elligible for the Ford employee discount, for a car for her grandson?
If, so, how do we go abou this?

The Ford Broadmeadows plant opened in 1959 so if he retired in 1985 how did he work there for over 30 years?

[eddy1958]

If you buy now (for delivery by mid Dec) it doesn't matter - you should be able to get the discount as Joe Public by working thru your dealer.

I got my GT that way last month.

I think you will have more luck going that way.

Good luck either way - what you going to buy?

Hi everyone, I'm looking at buying a Territory Titanium, is the ford family and friends discount still on? If yes does anyone want to help and I will look after them.
Thanks

Thanks

ironically the latest friends of Ford program involved you having to buy and have the car delivered by today, December 15th. So no, you just missed out i believe.

as per: http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11406964

so i guess technically, if you're cashed up you could try and find a dealer who's open on Sunday, and push them for same day delivery on floor stock?! But you'd need the signed form and everything done so it'd be pushing poo up hill.

There would be a good chance it will be back on at some stage next year.

[preston1908]

Thanks guys.
