As far as discounts when ordering, join Mustang Club of America for $25 and you can get X plan pricing which is essentially invoice plus it caps the document fee. You may get a better price haggling but on an ordered refreshed 2020 I doubt you will beat it by much for a few months at least.
$25 to get $4-$5k off is a pretty good deal

How do people get PCO deals?

First, doc fees are a joke. When you are making payment with the Finance guy, just tell him that the doc fee has to go. What are they going to do, kill a deal over a few bucks?
Also, X Plan is another joke. Buy at invoice, which is still a few hundred cheaper. Most dealers sell at invoice when asked, and others will go below invoice.

You'll have to talk with the dealers about pricing on a 2020, often they will sell at invoice or bellow without any plan pricing. Are you a Costco member? Costco member pricing was something like $1100 under invoice when I checked a few months ago.

You can try requesting a brochure, although I dont know when they will be available. Otherwise getting a PCO is a random thing.

I just went to Costco site and their line up is very limited, No F 450 at all and you have to contact a dealer to find out your price and I think it only applies to inventory, not orders? What I like about X plan is I can walk into any dealer and get it, not being forced to use a certain dealer.

My guess is the 10r140 10th gear ratio will be around 0.63 and the current 6r140's 6th is 0.674, so it will help lower the rpms at highway speed but not enough for me. I just think 4.30's are a waste as 1st gear is probably going to be a 4.5 or around there and the current 6r140 is 3.97. They could've even switched to 4.10 and it would be a drastic improvement in mileage and still have plenty of power from a stop. But, this is all speculative until the 10 speed ratios are released.

X-plan is not a bad deal. Maybe in some areas of the country can you get 5k off sticker by good ole haggling when ordering a high demand vehicle with a new refresh and new powertrain. In my neck of the woods I could barely get any dealer to come off $1k on my order at this point in the model year, so Xplan was awesome pricing for me.

Some folks might be getting very attractive (below invoice) pricing from their dealers... because they are financing the truck through the dealer.
What the dealer gives up on the face of the deal, they are making up for in less than obvious ways over time on the back end.

I also tried going through Costco buying service. The price I was quoted was $250 under invoice but the closest dealer was 70 miles away.
None of the local dealers around me sell at invoice when asked. It is just the market I'm in. You might get invoice with a lot of haggling and effort but it won't come easy. X plan made it easy.

I dont agree with your theory on getting bellow invoice because of dealer financing. When I was shopping a 19 Lariat , started in Feb., the worst qoute I got was $800 bellow invoice and the best was $2500 bellow (the one I purchased off the lot). There were a couple others in between but none were based on financing, the qoutes were given prior to determining that.

Not necessarily. My X plan price is $36 over invoice. I was not familiar with X plan when I found out I was eligible so I did some research. What I found is X plan is Invoice minus .4% plus $250. My X plan price does not reflect that formula exactly but very close. Likely the percentage off is different. I also found there are strict rules associated with X plan pricing. One is the dealer cannot offer any free items to close the deal. So no free bed liner, mud flaps or oil changes. The dealer has to charge at least their cost for the items.

So having said that, X Plan may be a viable option in those hard *** areas of the country.
Seems like the southern states are having their cake and eating it.

It was for a recent 2019 order. I assume the X plan pricing calculation is the same regardless of model year. Costco pricing seems to be based on local market so it may vary depending on model year and demand.

I dont haggle, so every price inquiry I did was straight to the point, no back and forth, just showed interest in the truck and interested in a price.
