I know Mazda S-Plan is different than X-Plan, but has anybody recently had a dealer accept a Ford X-Plan PIN for S-Plan? I know that at least some dealers used to. My salesman said he didn't think so, but I don't think he's right. My buddy at Ford (I used to work for Ford) gave me the PIN and said I could use it at Mazda.

Replying to: austinman7 (Aug 29, 2008 4:00 pm) How could they, when some dealers are only getting inventory now? It's not unusual for automakers to offer deals to specific groups, whether it's brand-new or not. I get special offers from Mazda, Pontiac, and Nissan all the time (since I own(ed) one of each.) I have a feeling it's targeted to the "initial interest" people that sent their email address to Mazda months ago, since I also received one of these...

Replying to: kipd (Aug 29, 2008 4:23 pm) I bought my 09 iGT with a Ford X-Plan PIN. S-Plan partners actually log into the Ford website (fordpartner.com) to get their PIN and the certificate you get says "Partner Recognition/X Plan PIN Certificate". They really are one in the same and the PIN is valid for any make under the Ford umbrella. The only hiccup you MIGHT run into is if the dealer asks for verification of your affiliation with the company under which you received the PIN. Most don't care as long as you have the PIN. |

Replying to: austinman7 (Aug 30, 2008 5:54 am) They also know full well that about 99% of potential buyers don't call their dealer every day, asking if the 6 has arrived yet, nor do they drive by the local dealer every day, checking the lots. Again, it's not uncommon to send offers out like this. Considering that, other than S-plan, the going price OTD is still at (or very close to) MSRP for the '09 6's that HAVE been sold. Considering that all but two of the 8 cars the local dealer had were sold by the first weekend (with the other 2 used as demos and dealer cars)...

As of last week, there were still dealers who did not even get the car yet. Keep your eye open for the first commercial during the Giants / Redskins Thursday Night Football game on NBC.
