Ford Partner Recognition Program
Can someone explain the rules of this program? From what I understand I call up or sign into a site where they generate a code of some sort that I bring to the dealership. Dealership goes through the order sheet adding in all my must haves and at the end they have Ford's MSRP. They then type in the code I gave them and it pops up my price. I "thought" that would mean that any dealership I go to will give me the same price based on my code but from what I've read that's not true? While looking for cars we shopped several dealerships.. Some gave 2% below MSRP and some gave as high as 7% below MSRP so without this code I know dealerships vary by a lot . I've read where people send emails to dealerships asking how low below the amount after the discount code was applied can they go. So what I"m asking is the discount code really the bottom price or do you still get to negotiate? And once a specific dealership types in your code isn't your code frozen with that dealership? Do you have to generate a new code to go to a different dealership? I know... lots of questions... I'm trying to understand the rules before I play this game. Appreciate any help.

All that does is lock in X Plan price, yes X plan is final pricing and often can be beat. It does limit dealer fees. To see tge prices go to the Ford Partner website. Register for the Mustang Club of America and use their partner number on the Ford Site.

Have to have a company code that you input. Then based upon that a pin is generated.
once you decide on a vehicle, dealer has to show you the white invoice. This invoice will list msrp, x, a, D etc plans and their pricing.
What you see is what you pay plus taxes and a max cap on dealer processing. All at fordpartner.com.
You still get all rebates and whatever you can get for financing.
To me it has been a good route a number of times. I don't like to haggle. I like it simple and quick and in/out within the hour.

You can see all the XPlan pricing before generating a pin and before you even bother with the dealer. Just get your partner code from your employer or organization you are a member of. Once you’ve got that, you can search inventory or build your own truck and see X Plan prices for all of them. As mentioned above, just go to fordpartner.com and take it from there. With that said, my dealer beat X Plan by $1000 with very little negotiation. And since my state already has a low cap on doc fees, the X Plan doc fee cap wasn’t any better.

Thanks for the help. Was able to price out my truck using the x-plan numbers. Comes out to about 6% off MSRP.

I had the same experience. Unfortunately, the Internet Sales Manager I used at the time is no longer there. The new manager isn't as "helpful".

That stinks. I was content to pay the X-plan price, so the fact that they beat it was just a bonus for me. Maybe they figure I can go anywhere and pay the X-plan price so they just wanted to make sure to get my business. They are a high volume dealer and I can understand why - everyone was great to deal with.

Here in FL, dealer/doc fees often run $700-$800. On ordered trucks the local dealers I got pricing from were close to invoice, but just limiting those fees made X plan the better choice for me. Even Brandon Ford wouldn't beat X plan for an ordered truck. (OTD price)
