T-Man,
The A-Plan is usually associated with someone that is a Ford Employee. It is a fabulous opportunity and we have bought 3 vehicles in the last 3 years using the A-plan. It is a non-negotiable price that the dealer has to sell the vehicle to you at. This is only on new vehicles and I just ordered a new truck that I will be using the A-plan to purchase. the dealer will give you the exact A-plan price if you inquire about a vehicle but I have found a way to get a ball park idea of what the A-plan price will be, I'm usually just a couple hundred dollars off, so always have the dealer give you the actual A-plan price. Anyway, here it is, take the MSRP and discount it by 15.5%, this will give you an approximate A-plan price. I built my truck on www.fordvehicles.com with several different configurations and then just took the MSRP and discounted it 15.5% to get an idea of how much I would be paying for each type of truck. For example, a truck with an MSRP of 38,000 dollars. 38,000 times .155 (15.5%)=5890. So subtract 5890 from 38000 and expect to pay about 32,110 for the truck. And here is the beauty of it all, you are still entitled to any rebates/financing that is going on. Hope this helps...Deac

You should be able to get the exact price, by having the A-Plan supplier log on to WWW. AXZ.Ford.COM. They will need to have a username and password. However, if they don't they can still register at this site, if they are a Ford employee or affiliate. One there you can do a search of vehicles and pricing. Initially it only gives you estimated pricing, but than you can view an actaul dealers web site, via link through this site and it will tell you the A and X plan prices on all vehicles in the inventory.
My wife has worked for Ford for the last three years and we have routinely been trading in our cars about every year or so. With the discount you get from the A Plan, plus any additional rebates etc... you tend to pretty much always break even.
Good Luck on your search for a new ford.
