I have a question?? You gave us an example of the x plan rebate spending $37,000. Is there a bigger rebate for more $$ spent? What kind of x plan rebate shoud we expect if a loaded Gt cost $27,000 . I would guess the car would be around $23,000???

The xplan prices come from Ford. I just copied thier page to give an example and placed it on this site. The Xplan pricing generally is for employees of Ford Partners. If you work for a large corporation like IBM etc you will have to check to see if you are a Ford Partner under the terms of Ford's Xplan.

yeah I know that, 2 of my family members work for Ford. I wanted an opinion on how much we can expect to save based on $27,000

Go to edmunds.com, price out an 04 with options that go to 27k, look at the invoice price, add 2%, and there you have your x-plan price.

X-plan is two percent above invoice. It is not based on how much you spend, but a percentage above invoice. Or if you have A-plan, a percentage below invoice.

So if you expect the invoice price to be $27,000 add 2% ($540).

So at that rate most people would be better trying to negotiate 500 over invoice (which I did and some others on the site) and then not risk the dealership putting them at the bottom of the pile b/c they're "x-plan".

Just a thought (plus 500 < 540)

This is not acurate. I currently have a 2004 GT on my lot. MSRP is $26,395, dealer invoice including advertising and fuel is $24,438.88 and x-plan is $24,455.71.

X-plan is 4% above A-plan plus $150. A-plan is basically invoice less holdback, finance assistance and a portion of the advertising charge.

Hope this helps

according to the example given the x-plan price is less than invoice. I thought x-plan was 2% ABOVE invoice

The page from my work site suggests to make your best deal with the salesman as if you were someone that does not have the XX plan. Then when you have made your best deal on your new vehicle choice then mention to the salesman that you are eligible for the XXplan and give the salesman your company's Ford partner code number. Cost deductions depend on what model the customer chooses to buy. This year for instance Ford is trying to sell has many new Taurus vehicles as they can has the 2005 model is the last production year for Taurus. So one can only assume there will be XX Plan savings to try and move out the remaining Taurus vehicles. Ford has sent me numerous incentive offers on the 2005 Taurus but they don't get the message the only new car for me is the 2005 Mustang.

Right, I knew A plan is 2% below invoice and X plan is 2% above. (basically -but not exactly) 4% difference between the two).

But I have never heard anything about the extra $150. All Brad's FAQs and the Ford sites never mentioned this.

Question about the x plan. Is the price quoted a price plug tax and tag only? When I deal, I want an out the door price. If the x plan price can have dealer prep fees and other type fees like that added, then that makes this less attractive. Can anyone answer this? Thanks.

Just to clear up some things about X-plan, here's some info straight from the Ford Partner website:

X-Plan

Pre-determined price based on Ford Employee ("A-Plan") price.
The X-Plan price is noted on the dealer invoice (except for
Land Rover and Jaguar)


Ford/Mercury A-Plan + 4% + $150
Lincoln A-Plan + 4% + $250
Volvo A-Plan + 2%

Land Rover Invoice plus 4% of Invoice (excluding Regional Advertising Group fee and destination & delivery fee).

Jaguar Invoice plus 4% of Invoice (excluding Advertising Association Fee and destination & delivery fee).

S-Plan (Mazda only)

Pre-determined price based on Mazda Employee price ("E-Plan") and noted on the dealer invoice


Mazda E-Plan + 5.3%

The dealer is required to provide you with a true copy of the factory invoice showing the Partner Recognition Program price in the box labeled "X Plan"(not displayed for Land Rover or Jaguar, labeled as "S Plan" for Mazda). You should also receive a complete and signed New Vehicle Purchase Plan and Pricing Sheet showing each item and its price (form slightly different for Volvo and Mazda). This form is not provided for Jaguar or Land Rover vehicles. Do not sign this form if it is blank or if you do not understand how the price was calculated. To view or print a copy of this form, click on the links found on the main page of "How it works" under "Forms".


The dealership may NOT charge separately for document preparation or other administrative services incidental to the delivery of the vehicle. These expenses are considered to be part of the dealer's normal cost of doing business for which the dealership is compensated by the commission paid.


The dealership may charge any price negotiated between the dealer and the customer for undercoating, dealer installed options, extended service contracts and other items or services that add value to the vehicle, provided such items are priced separately and listed individually on the retail buyer's order and the New Vehicle Purchase Plan and Pricing Sheet.
Note: Partner Recognition customers may not accept items or services as an inducement or reward in connection with an "X Plan" sale or lease.


The customer is responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes, license and title fees.


The Ford Partner Recognition customer is entitled to X-Plan pricing on eligible vehicles in effect at the time the vehicle was invoiced. Any money refunded to the dealer by Ford Motor Company for price increases occurring after the order is submitted, but before shipment to the dealer, must be refunded to the customer. From time to time Ford Motor Company may offer incentives or rebates. Unless specifically approved and announced by the company, incentives or rebates are not available to New Vehicle Purchase Plan customers. Ask your dealer for details.


The dealership may require the Partner Recognition Program customer to make a deposit when placing a vehicle order. Some or all of this deposit may be retained by the dealership if the customer declines to accept delivery of the product ordered. An agreement in writing should be reached with the dealership concerning the amount of the deposit and the conditions under which it may be retained by the dealership if the transaction is not completed.


Lease transactions may require a refundable security deposit. The security deposit is held until the end of the lease and is refunded, provided that the lease terms have been satisfied. The deposit is usually equal to one month's payment, rounded to the next $25/$50.

* The X-Plan price is printed on the dealer's copy of the new vehicle invoice, which may be reviewed by the participant.

The dealer will show the customer a copy of the invoice to confirm pricing.
I hope this helps.

Here's the list of currently excluded vehicles:

Current excluded vehicles include F-450 through F-750 Super Duty, Mazda Speed, E-450, E-550 and Aston Martin vehicles. This list of excluded vehicles is subject to change.
Nothing about the '05 but note the hightlighted section.
