I can buy a new Mustang convertible at what's called Ford Partner's
X-Plan price. It appears that might might approx .5% under
invoice.
Is that the best to hope for or should I haggle more with the
dealer?
Thanks in advance

 

I don't get all this stuff...what is x-plan price & how do u get it?

 

I ordered with the x-plan, and my car should've been $27,215, with the x-plan is $25,181. It's about an 8% discount (which pretty much covers the options I ordered plus tax).

 

Actually if you can find a dealer that accepts X-plan you are doing good.

 

X-Plan is a discount program for employees of Ford suppliers. A-Plan is the Ford employee program and D-Plan is the dealership employee program. Each plan is only good for so many vehicles over a set period of time, like 3 every 2 years or something like that. Once the allotted number of pin numbers is used by the plan buyer, no more are available to them until the period expires.

X-plan is also available to Ford employees to give to their friends and families. They have something like 6 x-plan PINs they can give out each year. The PINs are usually good for two vehicles per year.

 

Actually, it's 4 x-plan PIN's per year.

 

Ahh..Ok...I thought it was 6. My bad!

 

If you have X-Plan, that is the best you can get, unless you are kin to any Ford Employees. A,Z,& D are a lower price. (2% under invoice I believe)

 

I think finding a dealer to take it maybe a bigger challenge. I have talked to sales people at one of the local Phoenix dealers, and one sales person told me that they will not do any Xplan deals on new Mustangs. The service mgr told me that they would, but only if I ordered one.

I plan on working with a friend of mine who is the Fleet Mgr for one of this company's sister dealerships to see if he can order my car for me. I am waiting for the 06 info to come out before I contact him.

I was at the dealer yesterday getting my Taurus service, and they had 2 GT verts on the lot. One White, the other Windveil Blue, both automatics. The White car had $6,999 in Additional Dealer Markup and the Blue car had $7999 in ADM. Pretty depressing. Are people still paying $40K plus for these cars? :scratch:

 

The only thing better would be A-plan. My GT will be A-plan (if I ever get it).
example
Retail - 27705.00
Dealer Invoice - 25603.86
X-plan - 25620.49
A-plan - 24490.86

This is from my VOC.

 

I ordered mine at $500 under invoice with no plans- just good dealing

 

You probably can't haggle anything but, sticker at this point.

 

well what could a normal guy who don't work 4 ford like my dad get on a new 05 gt w/ icap & iup?

 

I bet that was because you got yours early before the maina hit, nice job.

 

From what I know of the dealers around here (Indianapolis), it would be sticker or better. Depending on the dealer.

 

At this point I agree with Eleanor Dreaming, sticker, no negotiations. You are looking at sticker plus $495 and $175 for IUP and ICAP (and usually, if you buy right from the lot, you will find the shaker 1000 [another $1,770] and maybe upgraded wheels [$195]).
If you order I don't think you have a chance of getting an 05 right now, unless it's a really big mustang selling dealer with allocations still left!

Good luck

 

o man were screwed cuz in 06 they don't offer min. grey.....do they offer red interior in 06?

 

I think i read a site last week while poking around that X-plan was determined from the A/Z plan. A/Z is about 4% under invoice. X-plan is 4% over that price.

 

we can't get a new 05 now....it seems the 05 had too short of a run
