That is VERY good news for me!! I ordered through a premier dealer and I think I may be able to get in on these incentives. Yahoo! |

Looking for an Expy to replace lemon Honda Odyssey... Been reading these forums for info & have come across a few mentions of "X-Plan" for better prices. Would someone kindly explain & give info on where to find this plan? Thank You |

X-Plan is a special pricing incentive for (it is intended for these people) employees of parts suppliers to Ford. In the past couple of years this has been expanded to anyone. All you need to do is find someone who works for a Ford supplier and is willing to give up one of the pins they are supplied with each year. (there are a limited number given to each employee) X-Plan pricing is invoice - ~$200 or (MSRP * .87)= X-Plan pricing. It is a good price and *should* be the same no matter what dealer you go to. The only people getting better prices than this are A or D Plan people (employees working on the assembly line, or for a dealership). |

A reporter is working on a story about current model year cars and summer sellathons and would like to interview someone who thinks they've figured out when is the best time to buy a current model-year car - late summer? Early fall? She's looking for someone who's shopping for a good deal right now but recent shoppers may also respond. Please write to jfallon Thanks, Jeannine Fallon PR Director Edmunds.com |

Hello, I was just quoted the following price for an EB expedition 4X4 of 43174 with the X-plan prior to rebates for the following: -Nav System -Power 3rd Row Seat -Tow Package -Power Moonroof -2nd Row Captain Chair -Saftey Canopy -Air Susp -Climate Control Seats The sticker price is 48,940. After rebates I can walk away with 38,174 w/o tax. With tax added it would be about 40464.44. Is this a good price? I expected the X-plan price to be a little more then $77 below invoice. Any feedback would be appreciated. Should I take it, this was the first offer I received without looking anywhere else, should I continue to look. Thanks |

X-Plan pricing 'should' enable you to choose the dealership you want as price is supposed to be the same no matter what dealership you go to. At $77 under invoice (that sounds a little high to me too) I bet you they forgot the doc fees or somthing similar. In my experience, even with X-Plan pricing NOT all dealerships came in at the same price and this sloppiness in pricing for this plan was common. It WAS a surprise to me as the dealerships themselves can get into trouble for selling an X-Plan vehicle at a price higher than they're supposed to. Bottom line - DO get two or three other prices for the SAME optioned vehicle (apples to apples). |

I bought an '04 NBX (off-road version; used to be called FX4) last March. It has: - 5.4L - Leather - Powerfold 3rd row MSRP was $41,310 and I paid the invoice amount of $36,965 less $400 for the college graduate. Also got 60 mos at 0.0%. I bought the truck in Texas, but am an Oregon resident...so no sales tax. The quote was a no-haggle internet price. Since there were only about 3 or 4 NBXs in all of Texas at the time, I was more than happy with the price. I bought it at New Braunfels Ford, just North of San Antonio. |

| Careful about the no sales tax. Wherever you register the vehicle when new will want to know where the tax was paid and the state will want their share on these big ticket items. It's called a use tax in many states and on these registered items, it's hard and illegal to get away with not paying the tax. FYI. | |
