Ford Price Policy

Unless otherwise stated, price increases are effective from the same date as pricing announcements.

Customer Order Price Protection (COPP) is eligible for customers with contracts placed in VISTA. In circumstances where a customer-signed order or contract has been received by the dealer before the price increase, but the vehicles have not yet been contracted in VISTA, an exception request will be required. This includes but is not limited to situations such as fleet tender & Ford Credit or Ford Lease referred or conditioned proposals (not yet with an accepted status). Exception request eligibility will be handled via the dealer through Ford UK's Dealer Communication Centre (DCC). Supporting evidence of the signed customer order / contract must be submitted. Ford UK's District Managers will review DCC tickets and provide approval on an exceptional basis.

Written quotations for private retail and small, medium enterprise fleet customers are only valid for the calendar day that the offer is made to the customer.
