It is the price from the factory not the price the dealer is charging you. They can change that if they want to but I was saying you should remind them of the price protection because the dealer is not being charged more for the MY25 like they told you.

Your dealer is lying to you!

No, the dealer is correct concerning the price protection. The price protection is on the invoice, not the customer's price. Thankfully the overwhelming majority will pass that along, evidently this one doesn't want to.

If I'm understanding it all correctly, I only have price protection on the MSRP of the vehicle. However, my initial analysis shows a like-for-like MY25 is only a $250 price increase from my MY24 spec anyway. What I don't have price protection on is 1) the discount the dealer offered me off MSRP or 2) the incentives I was given in January. Without knowing the future incentives for whenever my current status 105 vehicle would be delivered, they want to charge me an extra $700-$1,000 above the deal we made in January since my spec is "optioned out heavily". Which I'm guessing is the dealer just reducing the discount they offered me off MSRP.

1 - Correct, you do not have price protection on what they charge you, they can reduce their discount.

2 - When you filled out the credit app, assuming you did, you received a no-harm lock on the rates as well as incentives (military excluded). The length of this lock would be at least 60 days, 90 on the West Coast. They did up that to 120 days nationwide during COVID but that may have expired.

Bottom line is the dealer can charge you what they want, of course you don't have to take the deal and can walk away. Make sure you go to the general manager before accepting the increase. While it would piss me off that they changed the deal, if I really wanted/needed the vehicle as soon as possible then I likely would just accept it as the amount is not much in the scheme of things. If I was not rushed I would start shopping around and find another dealer.
