Last time I checked it out it was invoice minus .04% plus an admin fee of $275. That means x plan is just a bit higher than invoice unless the invoice is pretty high. But I think I read somewhere that the admin fee went up so don’t quote me on that. With that said, invoice and x plan are generally pretty close.

When I researched this prior to purchasing my new truck last month, I found X-Plan to be over invoice. I had someone at the dealership pull up the pricing sheet that showed invoice, x-plan, as well as the other "plans" for employees and such, the only plans that come out under invoice were the ones for Ford employees. My salesman was already selling me the truck at invoice minus rebates, so it came out cheaper than x-plan.

.4% under invoice plus $275 admin fee is correct. It also limits doc fees to $100 which usually more than compensates for the admin fee. Here are the complete details. https://www.fordpartner.com/partnerw...tner_rules.htm

Be careful with that BS. Just had a friend go into a dealership, salesman CLAIMING he was selling a new Fusion (2017 leftover) at BETTER than A plan price. We all knew he was full of **** thankfully, but he refused to produce the invoice.....so we walked. Needless to say that dealership got reported.
The X-Plan was several hundred over invoice.

Anything over $65k will make xplan cheaper then invoice.

X plan also limits what fees the dealer can charge. Around these parts, dealers love to tack on a dealer service fee or some nonsense good for 389 bucks or more.
A buddy of mine was also lined up to buy a Expedition and the salesman said not to worry about X plan, that he'd give him a better price. After reviewing the paperwork, the extra fees and charges kicked the OTD charge up 1,100 as I recall over the X plan OTD price at a different dealer for the identical ordered vehicle.
I have no doubt X plan can be beaten by dealing, but to expect that routinely, I have my doubts.
