True, though that will not be likely on the 2015 as another buyer will slot in behind you that will pay full price or more. On 2014 models, I would expect significant savings later this year that would be below xplan which I hope to take advantage of...
I do not believe that is fully true, there is an incentive to the dealer for selling x plan vehicles but I do not remember what it was, I think it is extra allocation. Was 10yrs ago when we bought our explorer that it was told to me so may be out of date info I admit. :shrug:
Present the pin when you walk in, most dealers accept it on most cars with few very exceptions on high demand ones. They have to show you the invoice with x plan price which is fixed and you are still eligible for rebates and such that are offered.
