I just posted my info about ordering a 2009 FEH and raised the question about the FDAF charge. Well, after looking at the fordpartner website, I came across this: "The New Vehicle Purchase Program price includes advertising, finance costs, transportation, fuel charges and Ford Motor Company administrative fees. The dealership may not charge extra for these items." So just a warning to people ordering under the X-plan, the fuel charges and FDAF are NOT allowed. One thing I am wondering though is "transportation" as mentioned above the same thing as destination and delivery? If so, then I really got taken for a ride. |

I ordered a 2008 FEH on 7/30/2007 NOTE: 4WD. The formula for the X Plan price at that time was "The DEALER invoice less 0.4% plus $75.00 Administration Fee". (Note the administration fee is not the dreaded processing fee that should not and is not included in an X Plan price.) This above formula however, DOES include the FDAF Assessment (Per X Plan rep I spoke to at the time of order). So-----using the above formula here is how my X Plan price of $28,809.63 was arrived at using the Dealer Invoice pricing (get yours from Edmunds) : Dealer Invoice Pricing 2008 The FEH 4WD----------------------------------------------25,363.00 Premium Pkg--------------------------------------------------1,016.00 MoonRoof Pkg----------------------------------------------------846.00 Audiophile Pkg----------------------------------------------------591.00 U.S Gasoline----------------------------------------------------------9.03 FDAF ASSESSMENT------------------------------------------360.00 Destination/Delivery----------------------------------------------665.00 __________ Total------------------------------------------------------------ $28,850.03 Note: at the time of order I contacted an X Plan Rep regarding the the FDAF Assessment charge, and that rep stated that it was proper but to make certain there were no processing fees charged. Per Formula-----$28,850.03 X .004= 115.40 Per Formula---- $28,850.03 less 115.40 = $28,734.63 Per Formula-----Add $75.00 Administration Fee and you will get the total price. Total Price------$28,809.63 (as indicated in above paragraph) Note: the formula is in the X Plan on line manual.

I ordered an '09 in late April. The local dealer advised that a VIN had been assigned and an estimated build date of the last week in June. He estimates a July delivery. Ford appears to be moving fast...

I accidentally hit the "9" key when I meant to type "8" but then I found this surprising result: http://tinyurl.com/3evcc4

Man, I've had a bit of a struggle finding a dealer who was willing to sell a 2009 on the X-plan price. Finally got one that said they would; going to do the paperwork on Saturday. Hopefully. Things change and if they screw me over I can tell you I'll be one PO'd guy, driving over 60 miles to get the shaft. Until I know for sure either way I won't post the dealer name...  But I definitely will tell you that Bill Pierre Ford, on Lake City Way in Seattle, is a bunch of jerks. I went in there because they said they could handle a FEH on the X-plan. Three hours (a looong talk about the rig, a decent test drive, and then some waiting around) later they not only said that they wouldn't do the X-plan, but they pretended they were offering me a great deal on a 2008 FEH... with a second sticker that added NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS to the MSRP. Yep, 9 grand. On a 2008, which I was clear I didn't want, in Kiwi Green, which I was clear I didn't want, instead of the X-plan which I was clear I was looking for. Jerks. Don't use them if you're in the Seattle area!
