Any one have any info on the use of the X-Plan?
#1
I am looking on any info on the use of the x-plan. I am able to use the plan but have never bought a vehicle using any type of plan before. Hoping that some one would have info on how it works or if there are any down sides to the plan. I will be planing to use the plan in July, and will be using between 17,000 and 24,000 down on my new stang. Any help would be great.
Thanks
Thanks

James - you may have to search a little for a dealer that will accept it, but you can find one. It's a painless process, they're easy to use. The person giving you the plan just punches your info into their computer and presto, magic....you have a PIN! No downside.
You may want to rethink ordering in July. Depending on your dealer's allocation, you won't have your car until Fall at the earliest.....maybe quite a bit later than that. Good luck!

The dealer (Friendly Ford) in vegas accepts the x plan. So far they are the only dealer around the area that will accept the plan. Thanks for the info.

I have X-Plan and ordered through the only local dealer I could find that would take the plan. He said the best priority code he could give me was 40. I waited for two months, then was told my order might take up to four months more. This would have put me right up against the build-out date for the '05s. I decided that I didn't want to wait a total of six months with no guarantee I would even get an '05, so purchased at MSRP from another dealer.
My advice to you is to order ASAP and try to get a VOC (order confirmation) printout from the dealer with your priority number on it. This proves he ordered it. My understanding is that Ford is not accepting orders for any more '05 GTs, but the order bank for the '06s opens in early May. With luck, you'll get a low priority code and be at the start of the line for an '06.
Sorry there is no Air Force Blue available on the '06s, but I'm sure you'll find a color that is allowed on base

X plan should be 2% over invoice, at least that was what it was for me. Just so you are aware there is a issue between Ford USA and the dealerships were they charge a "processing fee" in addition to the cost of the vehicle and any taxes. What is processed is beyond me but in Canada it is an extra $299.00 on your invoice.

I was fortunate to be able to tour the Thunderbirds facility at Nellis shortly before 9/11 (I tagged along with my uncle's Bomb Group reunion). I imagine that would be next to impossible now

The dealer said they dont have the order codes for the 06's yet, but i know that will change soon. I'll be calling once or twice a week until they get the codes, then i'm on my way there to fill in the order slip.

All yes, Air Force Blue. One of my favorite, right up there with grabber blue.
James, I'm getting an X-PLan too. Going through Experiemental Aircraft Assoication (EAA) to get it. You have to wait a year after joining before you are X-Plan eligible. Just 5 months to go for me, but I may wait longer to see what type of special editions are coming down the pike.
Welcome to the TMS.

Thanks AFBlue. I'm getting the X-plan because my wife works for the MGM company in vegas. I understand your position. I too might wait and see what SE are going to be coming out.
