Thinking that my info might be wrong, I checked the Ford website. Looks like the rebate for NJ, NY, and New England is, in fact, $1500. However, the rebate for PA, DE, MD, and VA is $2000. I am guessing that you bought in one of these states. Maybe I should have driven an hour to PA to make my Taurus X deal!!!

(This number is very low, better deals are being made with the CX-9 and VC) With all the rebates, at a minimum current deals on 08s should be at least equal to the rebate below the invoice price. (ie... $2000 rebate = $2000 below invoice) Watch out for extra fees! Good Luck.

Just purchased my 2008 Taurus X SEL with leather interior, interior convenience package, second row console, and a few other extras. MSRP was 30,454 with the options, got under Internet/XPlan pricing of $27,764 (one was lower by a couple of hundred dollars) and then took off the $1,500 rebate. Final price was 26,264. Paid $50 document fee. Absolutely love this vehicle!

Replying to: seloo (Dec 27, 2007 8:03 pm) Xplan then runs about $2,200 more, since their xplan price was $28,700 as I recall. I think the internet price was like $28,350. Our price was $27,700 because we had been told our final price would be $26,200 after the rebate. So, we didn't get invoice minus the rebate by any means. We did trade a 2004 Honda Odyssey and thus did some tinkering with the numbers to get that paid, since the trade in value was abyssmal. However, this was a lease vehicle so in Texas, we did not get any tax credit for the trade in.

Replying to: tindallas (Dec 31, 2007 7:06 am) Dealer Invoice * .996 + $75 In addition, you get whatever the current factory incentives are. Also, the dealer is allowed to charge up to $75 for documentation fees. X-Plan doesn't include tax, tags, license, either. I have a feeling that the Consumer Reports invoice price that you were working off of might have already included the incentives. That may be where the discrepancy lies. If you use X-Plan pricing, you are allowed to request the actual dealer invoice. On the invoice, you should see the dealer invoice price as well as the X-Plan price. If it doesn't match, or you think there is some funny business going on, call the X-Plan customer service 1800 number and ask for assistance on getting the deal that you deserve. |

Replying to: tindallas (Dec 31, 2007 7:06 am) You didn't give your exact options, and you didn't say if you got FWD or AWD, so I couldn't get the exact invoice. However, according to Edmunds, the invoice price is about $2000-$2500 less than MSRP. So, if the MSRP for your vehicle is around $30,500, then the invoice price is probably around $28,000. If that's the case, then you probably got around invoice price before incentives, which sounds about right for an X-Plan deal. So why did CR give you a different invoice price? My guess is that they subtracted the incentives from the dealer invoice. Again, this matches up with your numbers, since you said that the CR price was around $26,500, which is the invoice price minus the $1500 rebate. As I posted earlier, I factory ordered a TX using the X-Plan. My tentative deal is right around invoice minus incentives, so it looks like you pretty much got the same type of deal.
