Your a parts guy at Ford.

My father owned a Ford dealership in NFLD.

Who would you believe.

And I work for Ford and have priced out vehicles at different dealers and gotten different prices for a plan.  Why?  Volume.[right][snapback]281663[/snapback][/right]

Not getting into a pissing match here.
But if we're gonna throw down our qualifications, so be it.
I worked at Ford all my life...spent over 8 years as a sales manager, now work in parts wholesale (where I can make more money) ... was mentored by the Vice- President of Ford of Canada, and I'm close friends with 2 dealer operations managers at Ford.

So what do I know, right?

The "we offer better prices because we're a high-volume dealer" is a big crock of s*** that dealers use to suck people in. If you're an X-Plan customer, then the best price you will get is X-PLAN (plus any addition dealer cash-backs or incentives offered by Ford). If you're willing to wait until end of summer, you can probably cash in by taking advantage of Family Pricing (or A-Plan) which Ford sometimes offers when they're trying to unload end-of year products.

Anyways, I wont input anything else to this thread since I'm clearly wrong.
If anyone wants my advice, please PM me.

Ps. To "meford4u" ... you may want to sit down with your father (who owned a dealer) and have a detailed discussion about how the system actually works.

Thanx.
