X-Plan on New Mustang

[Rough Hollow Man]

Have them bring the car back and look for a more ethical dealer. In my purchase of a 2015 Mustang vert, I asked a dealer if they would "accept" X-Plan pricing and their Internet salesman said, " I can accept X-Plan, but our price is below that". What??? Below X-Plan, really?! And yes it was. So shop around...deals exist.

Oh well, you can just go in turn in the keys and thank them for letting you borrow the car for a bit.

As always the fine print of "Dealer participation may vary" seems to never be truer than in your instance.

If the the dealer wants the car back, take it back. I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason. He may find another cheaper.

Dealer profit trumps Dealer goodwill in this situation. The deal could stand upheld by the Dealer...or the deal could stand upheld by Ford, but NO! Profit rules here. The problem here lies between Ford and MCA. This poor customer happens to be caught by "the rules"...vague and confusing as they are. Too bad.

Good Luck.

It seems the heat is on.

I just got a call from the dealership GM. He's going to call FPP to make sure we're all on the same page with the '60 days' clause. Sounds like they want to keep the sale.

Back to the holding pattern...

Hang in there Bert...there's a lot of readers here that are pulling for you. The Dealer should have known "the rules" before he offered you your deal. If the salesmen and the dealer's are confused as to how the "X-Plan Game" is played, how should the customer interpret the miscommunication between MCA and Ford. Good Luck.

Or tell him you will pay 200 over invoice without X-Plan... Even 500 over invoice isn't that bad a deal...

So after much back and forth, we've come to an agreement.

It's been a nerve-wracking experience, but it doesn't change how I feel about the car and can now move forward with actually enjoying it!

Thanks all for the feedback!

^^^ So that means you're keeping the car with the original deal? If so, congrats getting through the BS ... enjoy the ride!

I know for a fact that the 2012-2014 GT500 was eligible for x-plan and ford employee days.

But I do have one question, does the dealer make less money if they allow the client to use x-plan? I would imagine the rebate would come from Ford Motor Co and the only thing dealer loses is the waived admin fee.

From the Ford site on X plans Q & A;

25. Do Dealers make a profit on Plan purchases and/or leases?
Yes. Dealers receive a commission from Ford Motor Company on each Plan transaction.

I think mine has elected to beat X-plan with me, and mark up their own admin fee, since X-plan caps that at $100, and then has a discreet charge for gas versus the dealers "complimentary" tank of gas. I don't care how they do it, so long as the money is right.

Yeah but a $500 doc fee vs $100 doc fee and you may not be paying less. Believe me the dealer is making more by not using the Xplan.

dealers can easily beat x-plan if they want to. BUt X-plan is fair for both.

proof? My dealer took and used my PIN because they made more and I saved 200 whole bucks using X-plan. This was December when the first retail orders where built, yes most dealers are cheaper now. Then they wanted MSRP+.
