Thanks. Does it count if we have an uncle that retired from Ford in Dearborn, MI? I was told by my cousin that they get a 25% discount.

I would ask your cousin or uncle. The good thing about the programs is that the sell price is set so there is no negotiation involved and there are no other fees. What you get for a trade-in and the dealer's willingness to sell you a vehicle at those prices varies depending on demand, etc..

Adam,
Can you tell me how your formula applies for my 2008 ford escape hybrid purchase. My MSRP with options price is $27,825. Invoice price with options is $26,300. What should I be offering the dealer according to your formula?
thanks

kryates,
I would... If you had the correct information. Something's wrong there--your invoice price is too high. Even if you're including the destination fee (which isn't part of the "invoice" price... It's just a fee added on--the "MSRP" however, includes the destination fee).

Where are you all finding the 2008 Hybrids-- Are they all in California? I think I'm going to have to order one.
But if I do find one, I'm going to fight to make them take the FDAF assessment off my invoice---How can they charge an advertising fee for a car that they don't have on their lots? They keep telling me they are selling like mad---but then I ask them if they have any on order & they say NO! Someone's lying!

I have a dealer who is promising $100 over invoice, (Fleet sales), When he shows me the invoice, there are three prices on it. He says the offer is on the higher price. What gives? Anyone know what the three prices stand for? Also, what is the holdback and what is included in the higher invoice price.
 
thanks

I purchased a 2008 Escape Hybrid FWD with moonroof/satellite Radio pkg for $24,870 at South Bay Ford (LA region). The MSRP is $26,735 and I have the X-plan plus $545 rebate. Ford also needs to pay dealer a couple of hundreds to make up the difference. To get X-plan price you need a referral from Ford employees. Email me (dhuang2gmail.com) if you want to know more about X-plan.

I know there are TWO prices and both of them are lower than invoice:
(1)A-plan: Ford Employee price
(2)X-plan: Ford Employee sponsored or supplier price

I don't believe they are BOTH lower than invoice.
 
I don't know about the A plan, but you are probably correct that that is lower than invoice.
 
But for the X-Plan, here's the numbers I'm being quoted for a base model 2008 Escape Hybrid, no frills:
 
MSRP: 25,740
X-Plan: 24,572
Invoice: 23,564
 
It's not clear to me how much dealing they will do on the X-Plan numbers. Sounds like someone above beat the X-Plan price just by playing dealerships off each other and using the invoice price as his base. I'm also not sure how much location has to do with that. We live in a region where there are literally none available, so there seems to be little incentive to help us out. In fact, the salesman kept trying to get us to just go with a non-hybrid Escape.

The dealer is required to show you an invoice with the MSRP, invoice, A-plan & X-plan prices so there should be no confusion or variance from dealer to dealer on those prices, which are lower than invoice. They also are not allowed to charge you doc fees and other fees such as advertising and inventory fees. They will also give you any rebates that Ford has to offer to either customers or dealers. The big variables from dealer to dealer are the amount they are willing to give you for a trade-in and how willing they are to sell you a vehicle at those prices. If demand is high they may not be very willing to sell you one of their vehicles at such a low price or they may really low-ball your trade-in. I have personally experienced some dealers not very anxious to do business under the A-plan and others that are very willing.
