8 Reasons Why You Should Pre-Order Your 2023 Ford
- Lock in your price when you order your vehicle. Basically, manufacturers keep raising base model pricing due to material costs going up. If you order, you are insulated from said increases. On some models last year, the price protection saved customers several thousand dollars. Additionally, if ’23 model orders are anything like ’22 model orders…we anticipate Ford offering additional rebates for ordering.
- Choose between incentives available at time of order and time of vehicle arrival. This is pretty straight forward, you can choose between whichever incentives work best for you… the ones that were available when you ordered vs the ones available when it arrives for delivery. Additionally, if ’23 model orders are anything like ’22 model orders…we anticipate that Ford will offer an additional rebate for ordering.
- A Lifetime Powertrain Warranty is Included on MOST MODELS*…. no commercial vehicles, nothing over F-250, no specialty vehicles like lightning, raptor, specialty mustangs, etc. Almost everything qualifies, but not the unusual stuff. You have to finance to get this, we make money on financing and it helps cover the cost of the actual warranty.
- Delivery is available/included w/in 300 miles. We will bring it to you, if you want… just keep in mind we are driving it, not towing it.
- Get exactly what you want, but faster! I guess it would be possible for you to wait for one to pop up in stock that is exactly what you want and you happen to get it faster than you would by ordering it, but more than likely you’d still have to compromise and you’d probably do a lot of brain damage trying to sort through all the dealers selling for over MSRP.
- Save time – Reserve & order online! This goes back to how much time and sanity are you willing to devote in order to maybe find a stock unit at a higher price.
- It’s an Easy Stress-Free Process. You know exactly what you are getting.
- Capitalize on any retail order rebates that Ford offers on ’23 models!

Ordering A New Ford Details & FAQs
Don’t Want to Pay Over MSRP? Here’s How to Buy a New Ford & Avoid Market Adjustments
From inflated markups to “market adjustments” of up to $50,000 over sticker, we have all encountered ridiculous price addendums on new cars. I once saw a Ram truck advertised for what you could buy a Lamborghini for… That’s insane!
We assure you, there is a better way.
SO… how do you avoid paying more than MSRP? Is there a way to pay less than MSRP?
The best way to avoid over-paying is to custom order a vehicle. When you do this, you receive a fair, transparent price below market value. You can send us your desired specs, features, colors and more online by building it on the official Ford site. Or, come to our store and sit down with us to build a Ford from scratch. After we build it, we can print out the build sheet displaying all options and pricing to reflect the pricing displayed in the table below.
Do you have to put a deposit down?
Yes, we do collect a $500 deposit to be applied toward your purchase. The deposit is refundable when we are unable to put the deal together. Reasons that could cause this include:
- If the purchase is dependent on your trade after the new vehicle arrives.
- If your order never gets scheduled to build or you cancel prior to it scheduling.
Once it’s scheduled, however, we can’t modify the build. Deposits are not refundable if your vehicle has been scheduled to build and you decide you don’t want it any longer for any reason.
I have a trade. What can I do?
We anticipate that used car values will be relatively stable over the next few months. Therefore, it’s unlikely you’ll lose enough in value or gain substantial miles to meaningfully affect the trade-in value. We can give you an idea of the trade-in value on the day you order your new vehicle, with the expectation that there could be some decline in value with certain factors like time and mileage. If you are OK with the trade value and the prospect that it will likely change with time, then we can place your order after the deposit is taken. When your vehicle arrives, we will take another look at your trade within our appraisal software. If you are unhappy with the trade figure, you can keep your trade and buy your new order OR you can decide not to take the vehicle you ordered. In that case, you will be refunded your $500.
What about rebates?
Good news! On most models you will receive an extra $1,000 in rebates just for ordering! On top of that you can choose between the incentives available when the order was placed and the incentives in place when the vehicle arrives, whichever is better for you.
How long does it take to get the order?
This is a very fluid situation that is constantly changing. Some models, such as the F-150, are close to 10 weeks and some models take much longer (like the Mustang Mach-E Ext Range Premium). There are also weekly commodity constraints that affect what can be built, but we will always keep you in the loop in cases where you can make a slight modification to your order and have it built sooner.

What is Invoice vs. MSRP?
Invoice is typically anywhere from close to $6,000 off high priced vehicles like a loaded-up Super Duty® truck, or close to $500 off the most basic models.
The dealer still makes their holdback, but forfeits any additional markup between the labeled invoice price and MSRP. Given the current climate where dealers are often charging over MSRP, this is a considerable savings.
Additionally, invoice pricing is very transparent as it is clearly labeled on the vehicle build when we build your custom order.
Will Buster Miles honor X PLAN or A PLAN?

HOW TO GET THE NEW FORD I WANT
If you’re having a hard time finding the new Ford you want…ordering is the way to go, and for a lot of reasons!
- Ford is pushing towards a 50%+ retail order model, which means we will never see the level of stock inventory we saw pre-covid. The days of browsing tons of new units and test driving all the options at a dealership are most likely behind us.
- Ford is offering up to $1000 in retail order incentive on certain models for ordering under a customer/business name. In order to get the incentive for the specified customer, the dealer must get a copy of driver’s license and a signed copy of the build sheet or buyers order and upload it to Ford. Not only does the customer receive the retail order incentive, but the retail order customer can choose between the incentives available when the order is scheduled OR the incentives in place when the vehicle arrives. Essentially, a Ford customer gets a better deal on almost any model if they order (instead of buying a stock unit) due to the manufacturer incentives, not even taking into account dealer pricing.
- Unlike most other dealers, Buster Miles Ford is selling the following models at invoice pricing, saving you thousands off MSRP! Explorer, Edge, Escape, Expedition, Transit, F150 (excluding specialty lightning, raptor, etc), Ranger, Ecosport, Mustang (no specialty), and Bronco Sports are all being sold at invoice pricing at Buster Miles Ford! Superduty’s are being sold at invoice plus $1000. Buster Miles Ford’s pricing is more aggressive on a custom order because we know we won’t have to tie up cash or pay floor plan interest on a pre-sold custom order, because the customer takes delivery of the vehicle as soon as it arrives on our lot. In addition, we earn incremental allocation for retail sold orders.
- When you custom order a new Ford with Buster Miles Ford, all non specialty and non-commercial orders come with a lifetime powertrain warranty as long as you finance a portion of the transaction with one of our preferred lenders!
In conclusion, place a custom order for the features that fit your lifestyle and get exactly what you want in a new Ford because EVERYONE wins in this situation! Ford wins because they can run a leaner operation and anticipate demand, the customer wins because they get exactly what they want without having to compromise AND on almost all models there is more rebate available and our dealership is willing to discount off pricing. The dealer wins because they make the customer happy, forego paying floorplan interest and tying up cash, and earn additional allocation! ]

If you’re in the market for a pickup truck, you might not know which works best for your needs. Ford’s F-series line of pickup trucks is the best-selling pickup in the country for more than four decades. The F-150 is a light-duty pickup, while the three-quarter-ton F-250 Super Duty is heavier than the half-ton F-150.
