Hey Everyone,
I was wondering what info. anyone may have on Fords' X Plan pricing, and if anyone has used it. I am going to get an 08 Fusion in the spring, and I work right near the Portsmouth Ford dealership (which is a pretty big one in this area). Obviously, I'm trying to figure out a way to qualify for this discount, but I'm curious if anyone on these forums has gotten the X-Plan pricing. If so, how much was the discount? Any info would be great. Thanks guys.

Hi chrism75. :wavey: You can get an X-Plan PIN either from a Ford Employee (they get at least 4 a year to provide to friends and neighbors), or from your Employer if they are part of the Ford Partner Program.
As to pricing: Go to
www.Fordvehicles.com and follow the links under "Shopping Tools" to
Search Dealer Inventory for a Fusion which is close to what you are looking for, at a Dealership near you (it is a simple process).
Come back here and post the name and ZIP Code of the Dealership, the model (I-4, V-6, SE, SEL, etc) and VIN of the Fusion you like. I will get the exact X-Plan price for you.
Then you will have a good idea of the savings. The X-Plan will almost always give you a better price than you can negotiate yourself. Also, when you purchase using the X-Plan, you usually qualify for any other Incentives and Rebates available to retail buyers.
To give you a general idea, I checked the X-Plan price of a V-6 SEL at one of my local Dealerships. It has Leather Seating, Rear Spoiler, Sirius Radio and Traction Control. The MSRP (Window Sticker) was $24,222.
The X-Plan price is $22,722. That is a savings of $1,500. Then you would also deduct any Incentives (currently $500 in my area) currently available.
Also, the Dealer cannot charge any of the extra fees, like "Documentation" (often $300-$400), "Computer Usage", "Dealer Prep", etc, etc. they are so fond of tacking onto Retail Sales. So your savings in the end would probably be close to or even over $2,000. Of course, the savings depends on the MSRP of the car. In general, the higher the MSRP, the more the savings.
Good luck! :cheers:
