X-plan is usually around invoice. Employee pricing, or A-plan, I believe is anywhere from 2-4% below invoice depending on the vehicle.

Combined with cash incentives the prices could be good, or at least good enough to wait to buy if you're in the market for a Ford.

Since I am a taxpayer, I kind of feel like part of the "Ford Family" - it's about time they showed some love.

rsuaver said:Isn't employee pricing still like 200+ over invoice? Isn't it just a gimmick?

Yes, it's just a sales gimmick. They're losing tons of money on every vehicle right now, they can't afford to lose much more.
One thing to consider if you're thinking about getting a Ford, if (when) they go under your car is going to lose 20% of its resale value overnight. This is on top of the 20% you lose when you drive it off the lot. Same happened with Plymouth etc when they were discontinued. GM and Chrysler are in the same boat.

I believe that this website will give you the actual employee pricing for Ford vehicles, and will show you inventory at the dealerships in your area.

Ford Employee Pricing

Select the vehicle and then go through and build it. Once you have the chance to 'Search Inventory' do that. You will see the vehicles and if you put your mouse over the price it will show you the pricing. The MSRP listed should actually be lower than the MSRP on the car (you can see it on the window sticker link) and this should be the employee price.

Here is my dilema, I was in a serious head-on collision last week and I was driving my 2006 Ford Focus. I never had an issue with the vehicle and was very reliable. However, I felt that Ford exaggerated a little bit on the MPG on the HWY.

I am also looking at the Honda Civics, but I know that it will probably cost me an extra $2000-$3000 up front. Do you think that it would be a worthy offer? I am looking at resale value too.

Also would they include the $400 rebate for my recent college degree you think?

I don't know for sure, but I am very confident that they would give you the $500 (I think it's $500 not $400) for the recent grad bonus cash.

Also, if you're considering resale value it's a tough call there. If you look at the top selling cars in the US the Focus' demand has increased dramatically this year especially in recent months since oil went on its meteoric increase.

I would feel more comfortable going with the Civic just b/c you're getting a proven car with great gas fuel economy. Of course saving $2k - $3k on a depreciating asset is pretty nice because you could invest that and perhaps make up the difference in resale values by the time you're ready to get rid of the car.

No, no it's Fing Old Rrundown Dodge

I bought my F150 almost 6 years ago and have done only regular maintance. And not as regular as I should. It still looks and drives great while I've seen Dodges and Chevys go into the shop. Ford trucks rule and we should support the "good" American products or we'll have less American products to choose from.
