Hi everyone, perhaps a knowledgeable Ford dealer can help me with this question. I am 9-12 months away from my next car purchase and a couple of the vehicles I am considering are Fords. I have an interest in either a 2012 Focus or a 2012-13 V6 Mustang.

What is the difference in the different plans and how do I get them. I have been told one option is by purchasing Ford stock, if that is the case how much stock would I have to own to qualify for some kind of discount.

Thank you in advance I'm sure someone here can help me out with this question.

What I did was join the Mustang Club of America, you pay $50 for a year, and then there's a link they give you that let's you sign up for the X-Plan.

We recently purchased a 2011 Mustang V6 MCA on X-Plan after joining Mustang Club of America. Much easier than buying Ford stock.

Wow thanks for the info, if you don't mind me asking how much below invoice were your cars from the X-plan. I am considering a couple other makes too but with x plan I'd probably get the best deal below invoice.

I'm likely going to get a V6 Premium and may get the optional sport package with the GT suspension depending on x plan price.

Also since one of you has a V6 and one has a V8 what kind of MPGs are you getting in your rides. I've always been a V8 guy but the power, price MPG number are what really turns me on to the new 3.7, if the GT still gets fairly well MPGs maybe I'll consider a GT.

I bought a fully loaded v6 premium with a lot of packages, got it for 32,000 which was about invoice. I get around 17 mpg but I drive all city and no highway, which is still really good.

X-Plan pricing isn't below invoice. Existing rebates and other offers still apply though, so you may end up getting it for below invoice after rebates, but straight X-Plan pricing is a tiny bit above invoice. The number that comes to mind is something like .4% above invoice, but that may not be correct. It has been a few years since I bought a Ford with X-Plan.

i was offered the X-plan because of the company i worked for. That's what the dealer told me..

X Plan is slightly above invoice, see attachment for pricing example of the different plans:

The current plan is about 1,200 less than sticker; a few years back it was closer to 2,000. IMO the deal is not as good as it used to be. I good haggler can get 1,200 off of sticker.

Phil, let me know what you are wanting to price and stuff and i can price out anythign you need.

Like others said x-plan is over invoice, usually around 100-200 over invoice. Its easy and straight forward so you don't need to bother haggling.

Example of a V6 premium 200a with perfromance package.
sticker $29610
invoice $27916
x-plan $28080

And then you get all rebates off of that, so you can get a 750 certificate from ford and fords $500 rebate they have going now.

So x-plan would be 28080 - 1250 = $26830

Wow that is pretty much what I am looking for, by the time I'm ready to buy they will probably have the 2013 models out. Does X-plan work on leftovers too? I'm thinking that if the 2013 model year is a little different like many are speculating I may get a good deal on a leftover 2012, I think my brother got something crazy like $8000 off MSRP when he bought his leftover 2010 GT last Summer.

I'm curious if it is even worth bothering getting x-plan on a left over or just go on my own in that situation. Thanks for your help I have a lot of figuring out to do over the next year...
