Surprisingly, it went easier than expected. Fairfield Ford (OH) who is notorious for addendumn stickers, had mine ready and waiting. No addendum stickers. Had their ducks in a row for price protection and no extraneous fees (outside of a $30 tag fee) on my X plan car. 7 weeks from order to delivery of a GT premium with IUP, ICAP, side airbags, active anti-theft and wheel locks. Everything went smoothly (although, they kept me an extra 15 minutes to make sure they were price protected for X plan orders).

My car had 2.7 miles on the odo when I got it. I've been driving it around for another 50 miles. It's better than I expected. No Shaker problems that I can tell. Won't know about the gas tank until I run it down to near empty. Active anti-theft works exactly the way the brochure says it should.

The car is "INTOXICATING".....

Apparently, mine "hitched" a ride on a truck last night after it left the factory yesterday morning. Thus, built yesterday....delivered today. Feeling very lucky as it was the only car delivered to my dealer today (must have made a special trip from the truck driver).

Too dark to take pics. Will do so this weekend. Dealer had 3 offers on mine for MSRP while I sat there waiting for the title to be transfered. But, my name was on the sticker, so it would have been pretty hard to sell it from under my nose. Ended up about $150 over invoice with X plan.

 

Congrats on getting yours. I know you will enjoy it.

Got my screaming yellow GT vert last night at X-Plan. No hassles, had to generate pin on a web site at the dealers office and show ID from the company I work for. Rolled off the lot with tag xfer and 6% sales tax for the price that was on the sticker. So the discount basically went to the govenor.

This car rocks! It is as much an upgrade from my '97 GT Vert as my '94 GT vert was from the Pontiac Sunturd I was driving before that. If I could only will away all the GD traffic, stop lights, and police cruisers...

Everything is solid, shifting, handling, interior. Interior is quiet shutting out everything but pleasant doses of engine noise - just like the brochure says. Power and torque just flow. The handling is like its on rails. I want to take a week off from work to just go driving.

 

I have talked to a few dealerships in my area and they won't even honor the x-plan. This king of makes me mad because I hear about everyone on here getting such great deals. I already have my pin ready and all. I think if some dealerships can do it then all should. Just my $.02.

 

I get 'A' plan... mwa hahhaa

i love having a father that works for ford... such good deals... MWA HAHA

 

Iceman - keep looking for a dealer that will take the 'X' plan. :stubborn:


Zeebo - Poor guy can't even get a standard deal and you're all bad :geek:

 

So you had a chance for a great deal and you bought a V6?

 

get your facts strait and smarten up. First off i didnt explain the fact that thats the best he can do because ford was auditing the entire line of dealerships he had, he had no more plans to give out because im not blood related. Aunts brother, not my uncle. It is my uncles brother-inlaw who owns them got it?? second off i belive 1k less then msrp was not a bad deal considering the situation. I even read the mail sent to my aunts brother about having proof of a/d plans for family and how i had to be blood related or recieve a severe fine. So it wasnt a big deal, why would he lie to me? It worked out better anyhow because i got the xplan, and no, i wouldnt take my buisiness anywhere else because i was quoted 32k+ for the car i wanted. I live in a rich area and dont get any deals.

as far as everyone else, yes i talked to the dealer he said all i needed was a social number and the paperwork for the plan and thats it. should be getting my gt fully loaded for less then 26k

Relax.....and be more specific next time. I wasn't saying he should give you A/D plan but I'm pretty sure X-plan wouldn't have been a problem from the get go. BTW, what does living in a "rich area" have to do with getting "deals"? :scratch:
