I have been talking to a dealer that seems to be willing to sell a 2013 GT Prem. at invoice plus rebates. If that is the case would that be better than the X-Plan pricing? If so I am not going to bother mentioning the X-Plan. Thanks

 

Yes, invoice is typically cheaper. Plus ford currently has a $500 cashback incentive a well as a $750 rebate you can get from ford by requesting a brochure. See if you can whittle him under invoice.

 

Thanks for the reply...thats what I was thinking. So far if I can get a little below invoice, along with the 500 rebate, 750 brochure and 500 for the college discount I should get it right where I need it to be.

 

Well if I'm not mistaken the college can't be combined. Read the fine print. Watcha orderin?

 

Congratulations. I ordered one the other day using the X-Plan.

It was $200 above invoice. I also got a $500 rebate which put it $300 under. Hopefully I'll get the $750 coupon and knock it down even further.

You can't use the college deal with X-Plan, or I would. So if you start at invoice price I would say with the $500, $500, and $750 you would get a pretty nice deal.

 

With x-plan dealer cannot add bogus fees.

 

Yes, it depends on what fees the dealer will charge you. If x-plan is 200 dollars above invoice with a max of a 100 dollar doc fee then it might be cheaper than if the dealer decides to add on a 500 dollar "advertising and documentary" fee. Just ask for out the door price both ways.

 

Once you drop the X-plan bomb on a dealer/salesman they pretty much stop trying to work anything out. At least in my experience. They usually won't be Willing to hear your haggling of the non x-plan deal.

 

Gotcha...I will need to read more closely. I plan on ordering a GT Prem. I haven't really decided on what options yet. I am still torn on some of them...(brembo, comfort, CS edition, etc). Comes down to price and future mods of course.

 

I'll order cars at X-Plan all day long. Its quick, easy and in the end,everyone wins. Now if someone qualifies for college grad and has a PIN, I will just sell it for the sale price, forget the PIN and then use the college grad rebate, as you can't use it with an X-Plan sale. And just remember, you cannot combine the college grad rebate with the $750 certificate from the mail. Its always one or the other.

 

Thanks for the insight...is there anyone on here that can give me a invoice vs x plan price if I give them the order and options?

 

Can a dealer add the advertising fee onto the X plan price?

 

The FDAF fee that shows on all the VOCs and DORAs and invoices is already added into the price of X-Plan. If a dealer says they "have to add it" they are lying, straight up. The fuel charge and advertise fee is already calculated in the price for X-Plan.

 

I ordered X-Plan. It is fast, easy, straight-up pricing with no hassles at all - you can do it all via e-mail and a phone call. It is a good price too.

I think you CAN do a little better than X-Plan on the price with a LOT more work on your part - but not worth it to me.

 

 

11SHELBYGT500, I'm reading into your laughing-on-the-floor-man, have you bought a car with a much better price than X-Plan this early when there were no new models on the lot? Do tell.

 

I'm laughing for a different reason, but it's not a bad thing. Lol

 

Hmmmm...maybe "no hassles at all"?? Would love to hear a tale (maybe a warning too).

I should also preface my earlier post. I pre-ordered a 2013 exactly the way I want it with the X-Plan. In February I also walked away from a deal on a 2012 SGM that was almost what I wanted. It was approx. $3,500.00 below invoice. So if you are looking for a 2012 now and you are not picky, then I am sure you can do WAY better than the X-Plan.

 

thanks guys you have all been a great help. So far I have a couple dealerships pricing at invoice.
