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...

Replying to: rjl3jax (Jul 17, 2007 1:45 pm) I think I'm going to order from another dealer at x plan. I don't understand why most dealers have none and then a random dealer gets 10 at a time. I'm with you and glad I'm not a Ford shareholder.

Replying to: rjl3jax (Jul 17, 2007 1:45 pm) They would be selling like crazy if they would build them, market them & give them a decent price. Free moon-roof for the non-hybrid 2008 Ford Escape, but nothing for the hybrid. And while I'm venting, why doesn't the government keep those tax incentives going? I know the Escape still qualifies, but why should they end at all? The salesmen just want to sell a car, and they have no hybrids to sell, so they try to steer you to anything else, and like typical salesmen most of them are irritating. Yes, it happened to me, too, & I was boiling mad, maybe we went to the same dealership.(on the Florida east coast) I ordered mine over 2 weeks ago, & was told today that it will be built in September & will be OCTOBER before it arrives...If I wasn't getting the X-plan price I think I would fly up north & drive one home. I can't wait! |
