Purchasing F150 through broker vs. Xplan
Purchasing F150 through broker vs. Xplan
Virgin post to this board. Great information.
I'm in the market for an F150 Super Cab and have read with much interest, information on the Xplan. I was thinking of signing up for this through the EAA websight, however, after more research, I discovered that I can purchase this truck using an auto broker (www.carsdirect.com) for about 3 hundred dollars below invoice.
I haven't been able to figure out exactly what the Xplan purchase price would be, in order to determine if the Xplan can beat the auto broker in price.
Specifically, what I'm looking at is:
F150 Super Cab 2WD XLT
4.6 Liter V8, Auto Xmission
Captain Seats
Retail price - $26,310
Invoice price - $23,200
Broker price - $22,899
Any information, or if someone could post the Xplan price for this truck would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

x-plan
I purchased my '01 F150 S/C 4x4 last month on the x-plan. It is 4% over "A Plan" price (Ford employee) and it worked out to be just shy of $300.00 under dealer invoice.
I also managed to get the dealer to refund me the $99.00 documentation fee they included on the contract. The x-plan states no other fees (i.e. Doc or advertising) are allowed. Of course, there still is the motor vehicle fee for registration and plates.
One last thing...x-plan gets you a significant saving on an extended warranty should you be interested in one. The 6 yr/75K mile warranty under the x-plan was about $600.00 less than the list.
Good luck.
