This is supposed to end today or tomorrow.

Does anyone know of any chance it'll be back again? I won't be ready to buy until 3 or 4 weeks from now when I have my down payment ready, etc..

 

Local dealers im my area stated this plan was done only to clear the lots of the 2005 models.

 

It'll be back next summer! They always offer big savings in the summer and screw the people who bought early in the year.

 

I wasnt considering buying a new rig until this came along. I had a 2001 with 75k but the family plan was too good to pass up. I moved my plans ahead to get in on the deal. I wouldnt count on seeing it again until next summer about this time, if at all.

 

I have to agree with Van, at the prices their offering now i think id beg, borrow or steal to buy one.
I bought mine in Jan. 04, if i bought today i would be driving a fully loaded Lariat at the same price.

 

Ahhh it's good to be a family member and get the A plan any time. My cousin can feel your pain. She bought a new Expedition a few weeks before they started the family plan deal.

 

Same here!

 

One good thing...I did get a better interest rate on what they are offering.

 

I heard it wasn't that great of a deal (this was coming from my saleslady) unless you were planning on buying it outright. Ford pulled all the rebates and incentives away from leases and just gave the a-plan.

My Dad got a F-150 on my A-Plan last December for 270 a mth. That was a fully loaded FX4. The same truck under this new Family Plan is 445 a mth

She said buisness slowed down because of it. However, I live in Metro Detroit and A-Plan is biggy, everyone has it.

 

I figure if you find an '05, from here on out, you will probably be able to get a good deal on it, just like BEW119 said.

 

I don't see the Family Plan coming back any time soon, not even next summer. They often have sales every summer to clear out remaining inventory, but this was mainly a response to GM's employee discount for everyone. I know that I saved at least $1000 over X-plan by using the Ford Family Plan.

 

IDK I think i got a great deal on mine 6 months ago. X plan and 0% for 72

 

I say it was done because GM sales went through the roof when they started doing employee pricing. Now everybody has a special plan, if one extends it they all will.

 

I just hope they will do this again next year around this time as by then I will have my degree and hopefully a higher paying job so I can get me a new truck as the old 2000 will have over 100k on it by then and after 6 and a half years will be time for something new any way.

 

if you really look at it, its nothing special. just wait a lil bit and you can still get a good deal on an 05. my 04 was bought the beginning of january for way under "family plan" price, and with better financing.
