Most information listed is still current. If you buy a car Z-Plan, you do have to keep it 6 months. As for the "doc fee"? That info isn't current. Ford changed this rule a few months ago. Dealers can charge no more than $75 for a doc fee on a plan deal if I recall correctly. With that said, most of the time the doc fee is in with the tag fees.

On an A/D/Z plan sale, the dealer loses more money than an X-plan upfront, but the commission from Ford is bigger on an A/D/Z plan sale to make up the difference.
