The deal my dealer gave me was 2000 over invoice, which, added to the FDAF and other fees, comes out to about $200 under MSRP. I do have the AQHA discount, so it's a slightly better deal (about $1500 over invoice).

Anyone have any idea on an angle to use to get them down. I was told by the Fleet manager that if "the market price was lower by the time the car arrived, I'm not gonna charge you more than market".

This is in Southern California.

It is just a matter of hunting through dealers and being willing to walk away. Two dealerships here in KC told me MSRP or nothing, so I walked. Finally I found a dealership, walked in and told them they could sell me a car today for $1000 over invoice, and they took it.

At this stage, begging comes to mind!
Curious, what dealer are you going through?

You could always get you an x-plan pin. That is cheaper. Any number of folks on the blue oval forum will give you one.

I don't understand how the guys at the Blue Oval Forum can give these X-Plans away. Could you state the details of how to get hooked up with one of these X-Plans. I would be interested in getting one but I don'

I would just be worried that they would say no to it. But I would like to have it to negotiate with. Anyone know the figures on that the dealer makes on an x-plan, as opposed to invoice + some dollars.

If you do a little searching on here, there is a wealth of info. X-plan is about 350-500 over invoice. Quite a bit under MSRP. I don't recall the exact formula-it is A-plan plus 4% plus 150 or something like that.

Or you can just buy from Karpro! He has great deals.

Yeah, I know everything about the X-plan except for how much the dealer actually makes on it. I know that they make more on an X-plan then on Invoice, even if the invoice is more because of fees. I'd love to get numerical figures.
