For people waiting for Brochure discounts
Not sure if this how it happened but:
I heard about the $750 discount on the brochures if you ordered one. So I signed up online to get one, not much chance it would arrive before my car does, but gave it a chance.
So I've been calling the 800 number to check on the status of my car and lo and behold today the rep said I had a personal offer or something for $750. Gave me a certificate number over the phone, said the dealer would have to verify it would work on the 2011.
I'm not sure it's because I ordered a brochure, but it seems like more than a coincendence.

Are you buying under the x-plan?
I'm just curious because I'm starting to think the coupon was more related to the timing of the x-plan pin generation than any brochure request. I could be (and I hope I am) wrong. Just checking.
Since my $750 discount is advertised for 09/10 models, I'm not sure if I'll be able to use it. I hope so though because that's one of those $30k@0% payments.

That's promising then. I've submitted a few brochure requests hoping to get the 10/11 version of the offer (although the program ID is the same regardless of the model years offered.) Keeping my fingers crossed. $750 is a nice discount on top of the other offers.

UPDATE: New postcard in the mail today with "dealer" info on it. It's marketing the 2010 Mustang but the fine print says it's valid on the purchase/lease of Ford Division vehicles excluding... blah, blah, blah... but does not specify year. It has a 6/14 expiration. Same customer ID and program ID as the last "brochure" I got (three page fold out with the Mustang on the front.)
So it looks like I'll knock off another $750. WOO HOO!

you are not screwed out of x-plan. The plan does not apply till the sale paperwork is done.
you just need an x-plan pin # at delivery to get the discount.

But just got informed that X-plan requires pin before negotiations start, guess I'm screwed.

IT:
pm me your dealer name and the name of who told you x-plan pin is required before hand.
there is NO negotiation on x-plan price. X-plan price is printed on the invoice.

Blue Oval said because it was already built, already agreed on a price that I couldn't get a PIN. But dealer says if I show up with a PIN they will gladly sell it to me for X-plan. It's technically a stock order so I don't see the problem. But that said I don't want to violate any rules.

It wasn't the dealer, he just told me he would take the X-Plan, its the guys over at Blue Oval, where I was trying to get a PIN that said I violated the plan rules and tehy couldn't give me one. Don't suppose anyone has a PIN or knows another site to request them?

You can use x-plan on ANY car if the dealer accepts x-plan. It doesn't have to be a retail order or a dealer stock vehicle. It's simply a pricing mechanism from the manufacturer that helps both the prospective buyers and the dealers.

I asked straight for the sales manager, said I wanted to ask questions on X plan. He said it's not worth his time to mess with the X Plan and he'll just go invoice to save me some hassle and money.
