I probably should know this but what exactly is Ford's "X" plan pricing? Costco pricing? I am wondering if I qualify for either of these for my impending 08' purchase.
My 08 F450 stickered for $56,490 and I got it for $53,099. That is a 6% discount for the "X" plan. if you count the $1000 loyalty rebate, it is 7.78%. Here is a window sticker for a exact match (except the exterior color) http://apps.dealerconnection.com/dea...275&modelId=68
How do you get x-pricing? Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question.
Do a build and price of the vehicle you want on Ford's website. From the summary, take the "invoice" price and subtract 0.4%. That would get you pretty close to X-plan pricing.
The X-Plan Price:
As an eligible X-Plan participant, you may purchase or lease eligible Ford Division vehicles at a special, predetermined price. This price is 4% over the Ford Employee (A-Plan) price, plus $150. Generally this price is below the dealer invoice price, saving you hundreds, even thousands of dollars on new Ford Division products. Dealer Participation in the X-Plan program is voluntary and determined on an individual basis; however, most dealers actively participate and are eager to accept your business. Vehicles may be purchased/leased from dealer stock or ordered.

Thanks for to everyone for all the info and especially you geauxfish for copying and pasting the info direct from Ford's website as I had not seen that before. Thanks again everyone!!!
I am pretty sure the information posted by Geaux-Fish is for the "Ford Partner" X-Plan, i.e. the X-plan offered thru ones employer. This is a little different than the "Friends and Neighbors" X-Plan where you get your X-Plan PIN from a Ford employee/retiree. Here is the information from the "Ford Employee/Retiree" website.
X-Plan Pricing Formula
X-Plan is a pre-determined price based on dealer invoice or A-Plan price depending on brand. The X-Plan price is noted on the dealer invoice (except for Land Rover and Jaguar).
You should be able to find someone to register you Ford's x-plan, even the dealership if they really want your business. I bought a loaded out 08 King Ranch which stickered at $54,500. On that vehicle x-plan amounted a $5,000 discount plus I rec'd $1,000 discount for their owner loyalty program. My trade was the 05 King Ranch with 45K miles and they paid $28,000 just to give you a little perspective. By the way you will get better mileage on the new one.
Really appreciate the info on x-plan pricing. Mentioned it to the salesman, initially he did the backstroke but then talked to his manager. I walked out w/ 2008 Black F-250 Lariat 20 inch wheels 4x4 package loaded at below invoice. I was going to settle for 2000 above invoice before reading this thread. Thanks alot.
