A-plan

No reason a dealer shouldn't accept A-plan. Given it is on open allocation, an A-plan order is just one additional vehicle they will sell. We didn't have any problem with the two dealers we talked to.
For any that don't know: A-plan is employee (and immediate family) pricing.

Open allocation for customer orders is supposed to stop at the end of June. I agree there should be no problem ordering a FFH on A plan now (or X plan) now since it won't count against the dealer's normal allocation. However, if you're looking to buy one from inventory or order one after open allocation ends, then I'd be surprised if the dealer would accept A/X/Z plan on those due to limited allocation.

Today's Wall Street Journal article on cars selling at/near MSRP includes the FFH. Also, NY TImes has very positive review on its web site.

I bought mine on the A Plan, so they will do it. Some are more willing to do it than others, depending on demand, etc. Where the dealers will show their willingness is how much they are willing to give you for a trade-in and how much effort will be required on your part to close the deal. The dealer closest to me would only offer about $3,000 less for my car than the Edmunds recommended trade-in value and they never called me back after I left the showroom. The second dealer I contacted via the internet after verifying that they had an FFH equipped like I wanted on their lot. They called me indicating they were willing to deal. Their 1st offer was a little low, but when I made it clear that I was ready to buy today on my terms they accepted my offer. My advise is to go in prepared with an offer and a willingness to buy to see what they will do.

I didn't say it was impossible, just rare. Sounds like that dealer is a keeper!

Two new ones just arrived at Darcar Lincoln Mercury in Temple Hill, MD. One of the Hybrids has an almost 2k internet discount so it is around 29.6k. I am surprised to see that.

There is a loaded FFH at Apple Ford in Columbia MD (zip 21045) internet special for $2,500 under MSRP, if you are MD it's worth checking out.
