which plan offers the best savings ? I have an uncle who retired from Ford who
has x-plan. I also have a friend who works for a Ford partner ( A or D plan).
Just wandering which provides the best deal.

 

X = good
D = better
A/Z = best

 

Price wise, the D/A/Z plans are all the same. The only difference is that Z plan is open to more relatives than the A/D plans. At least, that's my understanding.

 

is the x plan just the invoice price?

 

Well, the info I got from the dealer today shows an invoice cost of $24,732.

A/Z plan is $23,648
D plan is $23,748
X plan is $24,744

For the way I have it opted, the retail price is $26,740 - so there is a nice savings with the plans.

 

does n e one know what the lowest price a gt coupe went for under invoice?

 

As of this week, D-plan is $100 more than A/Z. They added $100 for an advertising charge (similar to the FDAF charge everyone else pays).

I hear a lot of talk about A/Z/D/X Plans for Ford Pricing. What are these?
A plan is for current Ford(not dealerships) employees.
Z plan is for retired Ford employees.
Also these plans can be used by immediate family members of the employees.

D plan is for Ford dealership employees of Blue Oval Certified dealerships, that have been employeed more than 6 months.

X plan is for family and friends of Ford employees and if a person works for a company that is a supplier in someway of Ford. There is a long list that qualifies for this.

The pricing goes this way. A plan is determined by Ford and can be found on the dealers order sheet/invoice in a box labeled A plan. This price is the same for Z and D plan as well. It is typically 4% under invoice, although it might vary a few dollars either way.

X plan is figured this way: A plan price + 4% + $150.
The advantage to using X plan instead of buying at invoice is that the dealer cannot charge dealership fees on a plan purchase, whereas they do charge it if you buy at invoice and not on a plan. Usually the dealership fees end up bringing the price up above X plan.

The dealership is paid a set amount by Ford when they sell a vehicle on anyone of the plans. So, if a dealer sells a car on X plan instead of selling at invoice without a plan, they make more money. Therefore the dealer is better off selling on plan unless they get someone to pay more than invoice, or even MSRP!
