So I pulled the trigger on a loaded jeep wagonneer to be built for the wife about 6 months ago. After getting delay after delay here we are...still no jeep and now to buy another new vehicle we are going to get hit with the luxury tax. Not sure what to do. Had a 3rd baby boy on Saturday and don't have a vehicle we can get 3 car seats In. Hence planning ahead and trying to buy 6 months ago. Has anyone else dealt with this recently? Did the dealers do anything for the crazy wait? Thinking about bailing on it, but then don't want to get hit with more taxes buying something else....

We waited 6 months and were just about ready to give up when the dealer called and said the wife's vehicle was being built, got it three weeks after this. Maybe this will give you some hope lol
I think she'll love it. Try a test drive tonight on her. 5 in the back 2 in the front haha jk
And if she doesn't, try a real shocker

Ordered a truck May 10th and paid for before Luxury tax and still no truck .
Have had vin number and window sticker since Aug so reason I could beat the luxury tax .
Dealer wants to give money back as they can sell for more .
Not dealers the fault as they are trying but at the mercy of Ford .
I wait .

They haven't added the luxury tax on the original vehicle one we ordered. But if we were to buy from a different dealer they would. Feel were stuck between a rock and a hard place and just have to wait it out.

Unless you have a bill of sale and paid for before Sept 1 you will be paying the tax with the one you ordered as well .
It’s only 10% on the value over the 100k
10g over is a $1000 in tax .
Still stupid and still a tax .

It's calculated as the lesser of either 10% of the entire price or 20% of the price above $100k.
So as an example on $120k
(10% of $120k = $12k) or
(20% of $20k = $4k)
So the luxury tax is $4k

Yes I get that There's a few things that contribute to the 10g. Apparently when we signed we just made the cut off for a 2022. Now it will be a 2023 which has the higher cost probably due to all this inflation and the luxury tax. I think we're stuck just waiting. I don't want to spend a bunch of extra money to get the same thing
