When I purchased (Jan 2011) my 2011 F350 PS Lariat Ultimate, I was all set to purchase a F250 PS Lariat using X-plan, but it was Friday and salesman was leaving town for the weekend and asked if we could close on Monday. Gave me all weekend to research how good of a deal X-plan was and in my case I found a dealership that was offering a better deal than I was getting with X-plan.
F250 List price - $55,955 ............. X-plan deal & rebates - $48,014
F350 List price - $61,555 ............. Negotiated price plus rebates - $50,664
Good luck price hunting!!!

I used the X plan when I bought mine and it did help some. That said it only helped save about 1,100 or 1,500 when it was all said and done. I love the negotiations with dealers, I have friends and family that ask me to go do it for them once they know what they want. I have yet to hear anybody getting a better deal than I have, although I did see a couple other guys on FTE get about the same. There was a thread a loooong time ago about pricing, back 10 or 12 months ago when these first were getting bought.
What I found about X plan was that different trucks and different equipment options had different discounts. I also found that most of the dealers I contacted would give you X plan and wouldn't budge on any further deals, they would say we can't do that. I say BS. I found 2 dealers that would do better. I live in Atlanta suburbs and can call about 10 dealers within 45-60 minutes of my house.
I finally got EXACTLY the truck I wanted at the best price possible, which included the X plan plus a deeper discount off that. People get hung up on this price plan, or below invoice, or invoice minus $500, etc etc etc. Bottom line is find the truck, or build the truck you want; then call 3 to 5 dealerships and get them to give them the best price. LET THEM KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING! Then take the best 2 offers and tell them both that you are getting a better deal at the other dealership.
Some will ask for the quote to compare, I said well would you give me your deal in writing? They always don't want other dealers to know how low they will really go. I actually had two dealers trying to buy/transfer the same truck from a third dealer and then sell it to me at a lower price than that third dealer was willing to sell it to me for.
I then did a bait and switch on the dealer I bought from. My dream truck was actually sitting on their lot the whole time. I said if you make it worth my effort I'll go ahead and accept the one on their lot even though it wasn't what I was looking for. They took it hook, line and sinker. Then I said they needed to through in 3 tanks of fuel and 2 detail washes. DONE!
I will say it took a couple weeks to do all this, but like I said I actually like it.
