X-Plan on New Mustang

[shahram72]

I qualify for X-plan through my employer, but I don't see much of a discount. Prices posted on dealer's websites are lower. What's the point? Now I see good discounts using truecar.com.

Below X-plan

Called to find out if dealer accepted X-Plan and they said yes we do, but our Internet price is lower...and it truly was. There are good prices out there. I drove 200 miles to get great price without X-plan.

X-Plan prices are before any rebates. Prices posted on dealer's websites are post rebates. Most people get the standard $500 + personal $750 rebate so most people using X-plan pay $1250 less than the X-plan price.

Also, dealer fees are capped! This adds to more savings.

Unfortunately around here the dealers post MSRP prices and when you fill out the online form for a quote, they end up calling you and giving you the MSRP price anyway.

So I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around all of the xplan stuff, and i want to make sure one of the dealer's isnt trying to do me wrong.

looking at a GT premium, PP and Premium interior.
Using the ford xplan site i am getting:
34,294 for gt premium
2,495 for PP
395 for premium interior
___________________
37,184 before rebates, taxes titles or anything else


when i went to the dealer and he printed out the VOC sheet it showed $38,002.

it looked like the difference in price was fuel and ADV Assesment, that ADV fee being $786. Im trying to read up on everything in this thread/site and on the ford site but im getting wrapped up in a lot and not seeing what i should be.

Is the pricing on fords site the be all end all? Arent these fees supposed to be included in the xplan pricing?

No. The X-plan only limits doc fee to $100, all other fees you still need to pay. However the X-plan price is before any rebates, so with little effort you should lower the price by $1250 -> $500 standard rebate and $750 personal offer.

Hmmm so that $800 adv fee is legit?

yes

 

[Souldriver]

yes

Ok thanks for the info and simpling it for me. Of all the fees i think that one stings the most and is the most infuriating. A fee for advertising :rage: but alas im sure im not the first or last one to take issue here.

Any chance anyone has tried to use this in Canada?

x-plan should be 4% over invoice

With X-plan you don't hassle for price - you get a fixed one. Configure your options using the X-plan pricing link. Subtract all the incentives from the price that you're eligible for (for example the standard $500 and the $750 personal offer) and that's the final price before taxes and other fees (some of them capped by the X-plan as well.)

Basically you're guaranteed a good deal - not best but good to very good.

If I am already getting invoice + rebates, should I even consider X-Plan?

 

[leszek]

It will be close. Here's the formula:

Dealer Invoice - (0.4% * Dealer Invoice) + $275 Administration Fee.

In addition X-plan limits doc fee to $100.
