1956MarkII...finance question?
You said in an earlier thread that a dealer makes "approx. a $1000 commission" from x-plan, and 3% holdback. Is this for F250's, also? During my first attempt to order a 2005 F-250 CC Lariat 6.0, and dickering on a below invoice price, the dealer said that he can "lock in this price when ordering" He "could not lock it in" if he went below x-plan and invoice. What does that mean?

It means he's full of you-know-what. When a dealer orders a vehicle as a "sold" unit, then the price is protected to the day it was ordered (stock units are priced at time of production). It makes no difference what price he sells it for; Ford wouldn't even know when he placed the order what price he sold it for! (Where do these guys dream up this stuff?)
I knew I'd be opening a can of worms when I mentioned that particular X-Plan commission. The commission is a percentage, and that $1000 is based on a $53000 Excursion diesel. The commmission would be half that on a $27000 F-150, for example. Not EVERY SuperDuty earns that kind of dealer commission.
