Someone had posted a link a while back to where you could search dealer inventory and see the x-plan price on each vehicle. When I go to it now it shows the "Simple" price. Is there a password you can enter to see the x-plan price?

 

Ford did the same thing back when they were offering Family Plan prices to the public. The Family Plan prices were the equilevant to the Ford A Plan which is lower that X Plan by aprox 3%. So my quess would be that the Simple Plan prices posted are either equal to or better than X-Plan price.
If you want to double check the price, figure the MSRP by using Kelly or Edmunds then look at the dealer cost figure and deduct another 3%, this would be equal to the X Plan price structure.

 

Here's what I always do for pricing...

Google "ford partner code" to find a company/organization that posts their partner code and then go to http://www.fordpartner.com and login using that code. You will find actual x-plan pricing there.

 

thanks webmaster, I'll give that a shot

 

I tried it but did not get any hits for a number.

 

I have a partner code...

When I was shopping during the summer, the family plan was lower than the Xplan pricing so it would have been pointless to exercise the X plan pricing. Prices were pretty damn low this past summer.

 

The current gimmick called Keep it simple pricing is only 100 over X plan.

 

i love the fact that i get all ford products on the a plan. amazing to have a 3 hundred dollar truck note.

 

One of my best friends from college is now the Finance Manager for a good sized Ford dealership. According to his opinion, anyone buying on the X Plan is doing him a favor, because Ford Corporate will reimburse the dealer for their "loss" by selling at X Plan price vs. retail, but any Joe Schmoe off the street can negotiate a lower price than X Plan price, especially when doing a trade in.

In other words, a good negotiator can buy below X Plan. My truck was purchased right off the lot, for $4831 under the X Plan price, before other incentives (Ford Credit $1k, regional discount for equipment package).

 

Crud... there used to be an 'A/X/Z' website where you could look at what individual dealerships had on the lot and see the A/X price... I can't find it now though.

It's SOMEWHERE on this site but, I can't find it... g'luck.

Actually, my buddy was more than happy to have me buy from his competitor, because I spent less than he would have been able to do for me...his direct words: "The only thing stupider than them making that deal would be for you to not take them up on it..."

I won't sign a deal until I've left the dealership at least once...If they are still talking to you, they still think they can get in your pocket.

back atcha!

 

I don't believe you for a second. My truck had MSRP of ~$35,000. X-Plan price was ~$30,500. With rebates and incentives, the truck was $24,610 + tax. Are you saying you could have gotten this truck for less than $20K?

I call BS!

Or did you trade-in something with $4831 in equity???
