Amarillo- need to order an '06 if you want one.

 

Ok did you see my post above asking for the prices on the two trucks?

Can I get the X plan price on these two trucks? Also I am not sure which I would like better. The captians chairs or the 40/20/40 split bench seat? Would the captains chairs still have a pretty good bit of room in the back?

Xplan on a SD with the PSD is about 5K less then sticker

 

Could someone please tell me what an x-plan is? How does one qualify for it? I have several other questions related to qualifying for the most discounts and best price dealerships but will save that for another post or would appreciate your thoughts here. Would be interested in speaking with someone directly if anyone would like.

Thanks, Tom.

 

There are a number of plans the manufactuers offer to their employees, retirees, and vendors. A/D/Z plans with Ford are for employees, dealership employees, and retirees. This is the same as "GMS" in the world of GM. In absolute terms of price, this is the killer deal. The "X" plan refers to suppliers and vendors, and is typically about 3% higher than the employee plans. Normally, you have to be an employee or immediate family member to qualify for any of these plans, but both ford and GM have been known to "extend" the qualifications for limited time periods on specific models.

Generally, if you qualify for one of the factory plans, you'd know it- it'd be part of your employee benefit package.

 

How does a company get x plan, I've seen the list like flowers.com or something and if you join the eaa you get it, so how do these companies secure the x plan?

 

"Ford Partner Recognition (X-Plan) pricing is exclusive pricing established by Ford Motor Company. X-plan was developed by Ford Motor Company to reward the suppliers, fleet customers, colleges, organizations and business partners as well as friends and neighbors of US Ford Motor Company employees."

Link on how to check if you're elegible

Ford X-Plan Rules:

Who's Eligible?

Customers are eligible for the X-Plan if they were identified and sponsored, by a Ford Motor Company employee or retiree, before visiting a dealership.


Who's Not?

• • Government employees and officials whose use of the Plan may be construed as influencing a public official.
• • Employees of Ford, Lincoln-Mercury, Jaguar, Mazda, Land Rover, or Volvo dealerships.
• • Anyone who has discussed a retail purchase of a vehicle, with a dealer, prior to applying for an X Plan.
Appropriate X-Plan Use

Employees and Retirees must consider the following before sponsoring an X-Plan purchase.

It is in direct violation of the program rules to provide PINs to a dealership employee or to customers referred to the Sponsor by a dealership employee. In addition, accepting money or gifts in connection with providing someone a PIN is strictly prohibited. Violations of these rules will result in suspension of A/Z and X-Plan eligibility and may result in termination of employment with the Company.

Sponsors are responsible for managing their PIN allocation and making sure the customers they sponsor follow the rules. If a customer fails to follow the rules (including titling and length of ownership requirements), the Sponsor's Plan eligibility is at risk. Therefore, if Sponsors cannot answer all of the following questions, as indicated, it is advised that they do not sponsor the customer:

• • Is the customer someone you feel you know and can trust? YES
• • Is this customer a dealership employee? NO
• • Did a dealership employee refer this customer to you? NO
• • Are you receiving or being offered cash or gifts to sponsor this customer? NO
• • Is this customer a government employee or official whose use of the Plan may be construed as influencing a public official? NO
• • Is this customer considering purchasing a competitor's product? YES

What Is Available?

• • Four new, current model and prior model year vehicles sold in the United States (including Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo, and Mazda*), equipped with any regular production optional equipment, may be purchased or leased each calendar year. Vans and light trucks are available only through E/F-350 Series (see Vehicles & Pricing section for the complete list of vehicles available).
*Eligible "A/X/Z" Plan buyers may purchase Mazda Products under the Mazda Purchase ("S") Plan at participating Mazda dealerships.

• • New prior model year vehicles may be purchased or leased from dealer stock only up to the date announced by the Company (usually March 31 of the current year).
• • Vehicles may be ordered from production or may be selected from the inventory of the dealership, if the dealer agrees. Dealers are not required to participate, but if they do, they must be an authorized Ford Motor Company dealer for the product sold and agree to abide by the New Vehicle Purchase Plan guidelines set forth in this document. (For example, Ford dealers may not sell Mercury products and recreational products must be purchased through a Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealership, not a recreational dealer).
• • Optional equipment installed by the dealership and after-market services provided by the dealership are not covered under the New Vehicle Purchase Plan. The dealership may charge any agreed-upon price for these items. See the Red Carpet Lease Option supplement at the end of this document for details of the dealer-installed optional equipment rules for Red Carpet Leases. Dealer-installed equipment or services, such as undercoating, must be individually listed and priced separately on the buyer's order and the New Vehicle Purchase Plan/Red Carpet Lease Option Customer/Dealer Agreement and Pricing Sheet*.
• • Each product purchased or leased under the Red Carpet Lease Option will be covered by the same warranty and policy as those offered to retail customers.
*See Attachment II for a copy of this form. This form is not provided for Jaguar or Land Rover vehicles.

What Isn't?

• • Current excluded vehicles include F-450 through F-750 Super Duty, E-450, E-550 and Aston Martin vehicles. This list of excluded vehicles is subject to change.
• • Escape Hybrid is not available under the X-Plan.
• • Used vehicles, driver training vehicles and dealer demonstrator units with over 2,000 miles (If over 250, but under 2,000 miles, dealer must fill-out an Exception Request Form. Contact Regional office for more details).
• • Products sold under any other Company plan.
• • Prior year models purchased or leased after the date announced by the Company (usually March 31 of the current year).

Mazda Products – available under the Mazda Purchase ("S") Plan for eligible "A/Z" Plan salaried employees and retirees and Hertz hourly employees. UAW represented employees, retirees, surviving spouses and their family members are not eligible to purchase or lease any non-UAW produced Mazda products.
• • Driver training vehicles
• • Demo units

 

Thanks Polar, now more annoying questions How many vehicles makes it fleet? 50 or 100+? and how can I partner with Ford

 

Depends who you are. Here's the requirements.

 

Jeff or Polar,
I used to be able to see the x-plan price when searching dealer inventory through zip code searching. Since Ford redesigned the pages it doesnt come up. Is there a link to where I can see X-plan?

Thanks d-screw!

That's because everything is A plan now for the next 30 days. Ford just saved you about 3%

 

I see it now. Its showing A plan. Polar, can you do a search for any 2005 True Blue F-250 HD with 6.0 diesel, loaded please. I live in So. FLA. Thanks.
