I was told there was a $75 procesing fee for the XPlan, but if I was charged it was not a line item on my invoice, so I assume it was absorbed into the invoice cost of the vehicle cost.

It should have been listed on the sales sheet.
 
Please double check your sales sheet to insure they did not slip any extra fees on the deal.
 
It looks like your deal is $2425 under invoice. Good job, you did not leave much money on the table!

Post your best deal in terms of below invoice price:
              
07 Freestyle $4900 below invoice. (Any of these left on the market?)
           
08 T-X $2425 below invoice. (New Post)
           
      
As part of your car deal question all extra fees the are not paid to the local and state Govt at TT&L and avoid add-ons!
  
Keep your trade (if you have one) and financing separate from the cost of the car.
  
There are a lot of people on this site that are willing to assist you.

You might want to note that this was an X-Plan sale.

X-Plan:
 
"Happy New Year everyone! I've got 8 new pins this year for anyone that's interested in a Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda, Volvo, Jaguar or Land Rover product. This is great way to buy a car because there's virtually no haggling at all."
 
Note the message above from the net, as you can see a X-plan PIN is not hard to come by. In fact, I have heard of some dealers willing to provide PINs to customers to make a sale. I can get one from my home town dealer!
 
Many times, depending on the rebates from the factory to the dealership or customer, you can beat normal X-Plan deals!
 
I think our friend djkm1, did an outstanding job with his deal!
 
With Ford's declining sales, we may see TXs at $3K below invoice soon!
 
Good luck to all.

X-Plan is for immediate family members of Ford employees. If people want to try to use illegal pins then go for it...once the paperwork clears and they find out that you have no affiliation to Ford you'll get a bill for the difference up to MSRP.
 
And since djkm1 used the Xplan, that alone gave him invoice price, plus his $2500 in rebates = $2500 under invoice that he paid. Anyone walking into the dealer with X-plan pin would have got the exact same deal, so while it's a good deal, it's the starndard price anyone would pay. So I'm unclear on your comment that he did an "outstanding job" on the deal with those rebates and the X-plan.

I think you are confusing X-Plan with A-Plan. A-Plan is a pricing plan for Ford employees and immediate family members.
 
X-Plan is for friends of Ford employees, employees of selected business partners, as well as members of certain organizations. Ford allows its employees to give out a certain number of PINs per year to their friends. There are several forums on the web where people can request unused PINs from Ford employees. These PINs are perfectly "legal" and users of these PINs should not be afraid to use them. I believe Ford even encourages this since it is a form of grassroots marketing.
 
I am eligible for X-Plan because I work for a company that is one of Ford's suppliers, so I can request up to two PINs per year. However, unlike Ford employees, I am not allowed to give them away (so don't ask! ).

Less X-Plan Rebate (1000)
 
Did you get the extra $1K on your deal?
