![]() Just 2 of those were Lariats and both 4x4's, totally unacceptable. I'm almost certain that the dealer would not have budged much from the MSRP, at least nothing close to what I saved had I not used the plan.Īdditionally, I specifically wanted a Lariat S/Cab 4x2 and nothing else, between the 3 dealers here there were just 8 S/Cabs, available, with possibly 5 or more on order. Matter of fact, my salesperson found 2 of them which I did not personally find online, I certainly did not argue with him as to where he discovered them.īeing that my 2020 was special ordered, the X-Plan route seemed like a no-brainer. Indeed, I did qualify for several rebates/discounts at the time of sale, you didn't? More importantly it's your personal knowledge of how the plan works. Your perception of a rip-off is dependent on who is providing your these figures and if they know what they are doing. No person in his right mind is ever going to pay MSRP for a Ranger, a Rolls-Royce perhaps, but certainly not a truck. Out the door meaning minus any applicable rebates/incentives available at the time of sale, but including all local and State fees/taxes. My 2020 Lariat's MSRP was $38,845, using the X-Plan I paid $35,650 out the door. There are way too many details to explain here without self-education. You really need to visit Ford's X-Plan website to educate yourself about the terms and conditions of the plan. X-Plan pricing is based off the invoice cost of the vehicle, and NOT MSRP. What does MSRP/base price mean? Is that the actual MSRP of the vehicle? ![]() Who is it that you emailed and got those figures from? That price seems too high.įirst off, are you X-Plan qualified? Do you have a PIN yet? NOTE: I wouldn't pay that for the bottom truck anyways. The X-Plan looks like a rip-off if I can get what is basically the same exact truck in a different color with dealer added accessories for almost $200.00 less! Am I missing something here? "Good to Go Package" (floor mats, tinted windows, bed cover) +1,777.00 I looked at basically the same Ranger XL FX4 in a different color at a different dealership with some accessories added on, WITHOUT X-PLAN PRICING, and this is how it broke down: This is what I was emailed back with:įorgive me if I'm wrong, I've always heard from folks that X-Plan pricing is a pretty good deal and is better than what you can get at any dealership with their incentives and sales prices. I emailed and asked for the X-Plan pricing plus any applicable incentives. Now, i again have two trucks on order.I've been looking at a Ranger XL FX4 online that I like that has a MSRP of $36,710. ![]() So i ordered a new better than the original build (got me a wench and a cab heater now). I countered with X plan or invoice, whatever is better and they quickly agreed to my amasement. THEN i emailed the first dealer to tell them to refund my deposit, they did then said, we can sell you one now at X plan. Boom, ordered a second truck, this one even better and with the X plan pricing, saving over $5k. I then hit up a couple other dealers via email not far away who gladly jumped at selling me truck at X plan. Then i dug into these boards and saw that it was clearly a dealer by dealer choice. I pulled the trigger at MSRP at the end of July and was happy. 'Oh there is no inventory, i can't do that' to 'we need to make a little too.' blah blah blah. I started working with a dealer who wouldn't budge from MSRP, telling me how lucky i was that i wasn't being charged a markup. You'll find someone willing to sell it to you for less than MSRP and don't forget your $500 Farmer Discount.Ĭall around for sure. Moral of the story, keep calling/emailing. Now, I'm like a couple of others on the board here with the idea of taking which ever arrives first. Nothing materially changed in the last few weeks for the first dealer to completelly change their stance but they did.
