Hi all,

What's the typical savings on the Z-plan. That's how I may purchase my 350. Generally what's the percentage of savings.

I've looked at cardirect.com and at the X-plan. Cardirect seems comparable in price

I know I need to have a relative that retired from Ford to be eligible

Thanks,

Bud

 

X plan is 4% plus $150 higher than Z plan.

 

Not sure,but I think it's 2% below dealers cost.

 

Is that 2% below the real dealer cost or that phony invoice they show ya?

Bud

 

My X-Plan price on my 250 ended up being about $500 under the published invoice for the truck (available at edmunds.com).

The Xplan price on the Ranger was about $100 under the published invoince....

On A-Plan purchases the dealer is required to show you the factory supplied invoice if you request it.I'd say the same holds true for Z-Plan purchases also.
In Jan.of 97 I purchased a leftover 96 1/2 ton truck on A-Plan and there was a $1500 dealer incentive on it.Basically FOMOCO supplied negotiating $ money for the dealer.I was automatically given this amount off of the purchase price on top of A-Plan.
I don't know if this necessarily applies in all cases,but I suspect it does.I have seen Ford state that rebates may not apply in A-Plan purchases but I can not remember an instance when they weren't given to A-Plan buyers when they were also offered to the general public.
I believe most of this info. applies to Z-Plan purchases also.

A-Plan and Z-Plan purchases are,IMO,a very good deal and saves $$$$ as well as purchase price negotiating hassles.If you've got a trade in don't let them short change you on trade in because "you're already getting a good deal on Z-Plan".

Good Luck

Hey there,

What was the final price on your 96 and how much did you save over a non-A plan purchase?

Bud

$14,865 + tax.
I don't remember how much less A-Plan was than sticker since it's been over 5yrs.ago.BTW,this isn't the 96 that's in my gallery.


Have the person that's getting you the Z-Plan call Ford if you want the absolute figures.

 

Z plan is the exact same thing as A plan! except z plan is for retired employees and familys ( I am on the z plan from my dad ) It is 2% below dealer cost I saved about $6000 on my new 2002 superduty fully loaded!

What did you pay for your truck and what are some of the options that you got on it?

Also, what's the height of your truck at the roof?

Bud

 

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 25-Oct-02 AT 01:12 PM (EST)]I dont remember the exact price it was around $31,000 with the z plan! It listed on the sticker with all options at around 38000 give or take a few! I have every optioon on the truck except the off road package(because I knew I was going to put my own suspension on it!) as for the height I want to say 72" or 74" I may be off a few inchs soon it will be another 3.4" WOOHOO! If you need me to I will measure it!

Hey there,

Could you measure it if you get a chance to. I'd say that you're currently in excess of 84" Right now, my 4x4 f150 with 8" of lift and 33" tires measures 82" or so I'm trying to decide on a lift and tires, when I get my SD but I have to keep it under 90" or it won't fit in the carport

Thanks,

Bud

 

Yeah I can measure it this weekend! I dont have any idea what it is at I was just guessing! I will reply back to you on monday!

 

Im looking at a 2002 f350 sticker is 36,285 x plan brings it to 31,984 2500 rebate 29,484 dont sound to bad think Im gona be a new Ford owner ;-)

 

A plan, Z plan, X plan, i got mine fer a good deal on the "screw him caus hes got a trade-in" plan!
