Trying to keep everyone up to date between two forums. Hope this helps everyone.

Price Sheet / Xplan Savings

XPlan is solid. The price difference between the First Edition and Wildtrack is almost $12k.

Thanks that's super helpful to understand what pricing actually mean with Xplan and invoice.

glad to help, I hope everyone else on this thread takes note. Surprised I’m not seeing many comments.

Now that's a weapon to be armed with when negotiating! Hope once price list for Canada is out they'll also incorporate it into that sheet.

Nice! Great work.

I have a couple of friends that offered me one of their A plan coupons. Is X plan better than A plan ?

No clue. But I’ll jump in on a plan if they are willing to share

From the web:

Ford's A-Plan is intended for Ford employees. This is often considered to be the best possible deal out of Ford's discounted Plan offers.

How it's calculated: Invoice - Holdback - Advertising Fee + $275 program fee

So if your friends are willing to share... :)

I have a question I'm hoping someone can answer: I heard murmurings that the X Plan (single PIN issued annually) benefits that the Mustang Group shares will also be offered to Bronco Nation.... Has/can anyone lend truth to that statement? (or gently nudge me to another post if already discussed)

Of course, you can join the Mustang club for only 25 bucks, but it would be nice if Ford did actually extend it to their other sanctioned group... the one I'll actually use beyond the X Plan PIN...

Yes A plan is better than X Plan

Argh I've been crunching numbers without knowing Canadian invoice pricing. Anyone know if same X and Z plans avaialble for Canadian buyers?

Still want to see options pricing. With amount that will be offered the price could add up quick.

No....A/Z Plan is the employee price. Have to have a relation to the employee/retired employee.

Options pricing for the Sport is out if you want a starting idea of what Bronco options may cost.

So what just multiple the sport's options prics by the amount that the Bronco Bronco is priced higher than the Sport?

Yes, roughly speaking that'll give a ballpark idea of options pricing. But also configuration, for example some of the interiors on the Sport build & price reveal what the Bronco will get too.

if X-Plan saves you .4% below invoice, but you have to pay a $275 fee, it seems you would have to spend $68,750 to break even. ($68,750 * .004 = $275). Let's say I am buying a Badlands at a dealer that is charging MSRP, the cost would be $43,590 ($42,095 MSRP + $1,495 Dest & Del). My "savings" would be $43,590 - 174.36 + 275.00 = 43,690.64.

I know I must be missing something, so can someone explain this to me how X-Plan would save me money on a Badlands or any vehicle that is less than $68,750?

Below invoice, not MSRP. Invoice is what the dealer "pays" for the car. I have bought numerous fords at x-plan, even an 03 Cobra. The savings is there. Never was able to get a dealer to bite xplan on a GT500 though.

A Plan is an Employee price whereas X-Plan is more of a friends and family or supplier discount. A is a lower price that only an employee or the Employee's family would qualify for. You can't legit get an A Plan from someone you are not closely related to

That makes sense. I knew I was missing something. I guess in my mind I was thinking invoice was what I would be charged, not the dealer. Thanks for the clarification. I had signed up for MCA and today confirmed with my dealer they would honor X plan.
