what does the invoice look like
somebody mentioned that either the X-plan or A plan pricing is on the invoice. how is it listed on the invoice and how do I know what a real invoice looks like and that it is not some papaer the dealer printed up to fool me. Before we bought our Expedition we were actually looking at a mini van and the dealer showed me some paper printed on a dot matrix printer that as far as I could tell they generated up to make it look as if they payed only a few bucks under what the sticker price was.
I posted this earlier on the x plan thread but was afraid it would get burried under all the other posts and we are looking for a new F-250 and need the low down fast. thanks

what does the invoice look like
'Dealer Invoice' can look different--but the ones I have seen have all options listed and costs, then across the bottom is a row of figures that have names such as: 'dealer holdback', 'A-Plan', 'X-Plan', and the actual dealer invoice. It doesn't look very official, and would be easy to mistake it for something the dealer cooked up. It also lists the options by Ford order numbers, and won't look like an MSRP window sticker.
When Ford puts out an invoice on a vehicle, it doesn't exactly track with the MSRP and/or a 'build-list' off off Kelley Blue Book or Edmunds, but the bottom invoice cost from Ford should be within $200-$300 of the KBB list.
There is always going to be an 8-12% difference on the MSRP vs the invoice--lower the MSRP, the closer the invoice is. Example:
Pricing a '03 Navigator last month, MSRP was $60120, invoice was +/- $54090, X-Plan was $53557. As the MSRP comes down, so does the $ difference.
Hope this helps.
