You've already lost some negotiation room when you go to a dealer to special order a vehicle. One reason is that the dealer already knows you're set on buying a TX. Also, since you want to order, there's no carrying costs for a TX on his lot that he wants to unload. That's why a lot of special deals and financing always say, "...when purchased from dealer's lot..."
 
On the other hand, if you're special ordering it's easy to call around to a few dealers and ask them if they'll reduce/waive the processing fee. You could always hint on the phone that you might be interested in financing or might have a trade-in and that might get a dealer to come down a little too.
 
Let us know how it goes.

I talked to my salesman today. The factory order that I placed back at the beginning of December finally has a "firm" delivery date. It looks like my TX will be delivered the first week of March. Assuming that the date isn't pushed back, that would mean it will take about 13 weeks from order to delivery.
 
Hopefully this will be helpful information to those considering a factory order.

Ford Sales continue to decline!
 
The only product that has improved sales is the Edge.
 
More incentives should be available on the TX soon!

Price Paid for Eddie Bauer FWD TX
Merlot FWD w/ following: moonroof, aux climate control, nav system, power lift gate, sirrus, heated seats, 18" chrome wheels, reverse sensing, 2nd row floor console, DVD. I was quoted at one dealer at 500 below invoice. My original dealer was able to knock off another $500 by utilizing the X-Plan.
 
Breakdown of pricing
X-Plan Merlot FWD w/ above stated options $33591
Less Customer Rebate (1500)
Less X-Plan Rebate (1000)
Subtotal $31091
 
Not too bad. My experience was very good, no pressure, no urgency. I shopped two different stores, one strictly over the internet (the 500 below invoice cost). That experience was easy as well. They gave me 500 below invoice. I did tell them that I knew what the holdback price. Maybe that is why I got no resistance but I will never know for sure.
 
The Finance manager tried to sell me the Premium Maintenance Plan and the extended service plan. I said no thanks. He asked me why I declined and I stated that I could get the extended service plan over the internet for half of the cost I could get it from the dealer. He then pulled out a binder with what he said were all of the Ford extended plan prices that were available on the net. He then offered me 10% below internet price. I told him I needed to think about it. He said that his offer was good until the end of February and he would appreciate my business. I'll think about this and shop around. Any suggestions on companies? And is the Premium Maintenance plan a good investment? Thanks

Depends on how much you normally spend on oil changes?

What is this X-Plan rebate that you are talking about? I am purchasing using the X-Plan and I haven't heard anything about an X-Plan rebate. Can you post information about this rebate so I can use it for my deal? Thanks!

Looks like you might have a good deal on your hands.
 
What is the final price below invoice (including rebates and extra fees, but not TL&L)?
 
As for the ESP, 10% is nothing, I am thinking 35-50% is a okay deal. There is usually 80-100% profit in this product. Becareful, there are several different programs with different deductables, so comparing can be tricky. It is a good program, I used it several years ago and it paid for itself 5 fold, I would only consider the premium coverage.
 
Good Luck!

I bought my car the end of January, and the XPlan rebate must be on top of the general public $1500 cash rebate. I did not inquire of my dealer if there was a X Plan additional rebate, he just informed me there was. He was trying to beat the $500 below invoice that a competing dealer was offering me.
 
I am looking at the dealer invoice which I received from my dealer and it states the following:
 
Date Invoice Prepared: 08/09/07
 
Total Holdback: 1068
Invoice Total: 33651
A & Z Plan: 32291
D Plan: 32391
X Plan: 33591
 
Goodluck.

Seloo,
 
I was able to negotiate $2000 below invoice ( $1500 cash back from Ford, and another $500 from holdback)
 
With X Plan I was able to get a total of $2500 below invoice. ($1500 cash back from Ford, and $1000 cash back for X Plan).
