I have an uncle who test drives for Ford and when I told him that I was going to order a Mustang he gave me a x plan confirmation code. I talked to a dealer today and said only immediate family was eligible for the x plan. :scratch: Um, correct me if I'm wrong but I thought x plan was a "friends and family plan"? If anyone could point me towards a webpage that I could print out so I could school this dealer I would appreciate it.

direct him to this site its the best. here is a quote from the FAQ and ANSWERS sticky it may help
"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!"

A-Plan = Employee/Immediate Family
If you get the invite, go to https://myplan.ford.com
You should have no-problem getting the X-Plan from you uncle.
Hey if you're thinking about gettting a fully loaded GT Premium, get the GT Deluxe instead and fully load it...it comes out ~ $175 less and it's the same exact car.

Here is a web site that you can find out if your employer is considered a supplier and thus making you eligible for an X-plan PIN.
