X Plan D Plan? Difference?
 

Whats the diff between the D plan and The X plan? My brother in law works for a Ford Garage and got me the D Plan for my 04 F 150.

Simple- D-Plan is less money, but double-check elegibility requirements. I'm fairly certain "In-laws" are not part of the D-plan deal (immediate family only).

You get more money off with an X Plan?

No, the X-plan is more expensive than the D-plan.

I think PB posted a number for D Plan the other day. Like A/Z plus $100 or something like that.

X Plan was A/Z Plan + 4% + $150. I'm guessing that is still correct, but I am not sure. So D Plan is substantially less, but I was under the impression that a dealership employee that qualified for D themselves, could not give out D Plans. I thought Ford was really cracking down on that.

On a $29XXX Mustang, the D plan saved $900 over the X.

Have been "legally" using my B-I-L's D plan but Ford is cracking down wanting birth certificates and marriage certificates etc...

You guys got it! :-X22 Ford has really been cracking down. "Immediate family members," meaning spouse and children only. No in-laws, out-laws, s/o's, 3rd cousins, etc.

I retired from ford,and I got a post card in the mail,that the company wants us to give out X plan numbers to anyone looking for a new car,but that will bust your butt if you use an A or Z plan and you are not in your family.

On a $50K truck I save $2000 over the X Plan on my truck with the D Plan. I got the truck for well below invoice. I also got the Extended warranty at the D Plan price. Dont forget about that one.

Yep its immediate family. I had to provide my Birth Certificate, my brothers birth certificate, my fathers birth certificate and my mothers birth certificate. Lucky for me this was my 3rd vehicle thru the D Plan so I knew the dance. Have them all in a folder at home.

Polarbear can you purchase Fleet Vehicles with the D Plan????

PS I did get in contact via cell phone about the trailer. Thanks.

Double check, Ernie. My brother-in-law gave me his D plan pin# 3 weeks ago for the Mustang............and yes, they wanted birth certificates (first time though, and I've used his twice now)


Really ignorant......they give employees 2 a year, why would Ford give a rat's gluteus maximus how they're used??

Did you tell them you were a brother in law? Did he get in trouble??

Here's the whole story........I wanted to put the GT in my son's name. B-I-L checked and Ford ABSOLUTELY does not allow nephews to share the D plan. He then inquired about B-I-L's (since we have used it before) the powers that be checked and it was fine with PROOF!!!

My brother -in -law is mid management (sales manager) at the largest Ford dealership in the world.......pretty sure they have their shtuff together.
