Replying to: kryates (Jun 06, 2007 4:47 pm) 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

Replying to: dhuang2 (Jun 12, 2007 10:40 am) 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. |

Replying to: cmuniz (Jun 14, 2007 12:47 pm) I think there's a significant difference between A-Plan price (employees and immediate family) and X-Plan price (anyone who knows a Ford employee). |

Replying to: dj548 (Jun 14, 2007 6:29 am) X-Plan: 24,572 Invoice: 23,564 This information is incorrect. X-plan is below invoice every time (except maybe on a very low cost Focus). The below numbers are exactly correct on an Escape Hybrid as an example: MSRP: 25935 Invoice: 24763 X-plan: 24739 A/Z-plan: 23780 The dealership is paid a certain amount by Ford when they sell a vehicle under one of the plans when a customer has an appropriate pin number. It is actually more advantageous for a dealership to sell under A/Z-plan than X-plan because the subsidy is better for them. Of course, you would have to actually qualify for it to get it. At this time, I dont think there would be a dealership anywhere that would be very happy about selling a hybrid on any of the plans, as they bring full retail and are in VERY short supply. The supply issue does not look like it will get better any time soon. If you can buy one with any discount, congratulations.

Replying to: advequityguy (Jun 20, 2007 7:12 am) X Plan Price = A Plan Price + 4%(A Plan Price) + $150 X Plan applies to Base price only, not options, but any available consumer incentives may be applied, and no extra fees may be added. For Hybrids, the X Plan price ends up being about $50 under invoice. Also, you can sometimes find online Ford employees who will give you a PIN number, even if you're not connected with Ford. Try googling Ford X Plan. |

This is ridiculous...Ford spends millions advertising a great new vehicle...those who have somehow managed to purchase the vehicle provide rave review...but, I cannot find ONE available Hybrid anywhere...I've searched online ford dealer inventory all across the East coast and nadda...I visit the local Florida dealership and the dumb ass sales manager has the audacity to say the 2008 Hybrids are not worth a shit, have horrible power, don't really save any money in gas, and that I should just look at the Non-Hybrids on HIS lot...of course he made this amazing assessment of a new Ford vehicle that he has never even seen...glad I'm not a Ford shareholder...
