Ditto, just joined. A excellent $25 investment.

Anyone mind explaining ADM to a noob?
Dealer markup. The dealer tacks on a "demand" fee on top of the MSRP. Why? Because they can. Happened with Raptors and GT500's.

Unfortunately, the AXZ plans are not applicable for the high performance vehicles.

The different plans don't allow a DM and keep any administrative fees to a set amount. On high demand vehicles, the plans are the way to go, esp the A/Z plan. However, if there are a glut of vehicles, you would normally get a better deal without some of the plans, like the X-plan.

Just signed up for MCA account to get x-plan pricing. I used that before when I bought my mustang and was super easy.

I just did it. You pay the $25 for the membership fee, the Club website then gives you the partner code to enter into the x-plan website, you enter your info on the x-plan website and it gives. you the x-plan pin number. Your club membership card will be mailed to you within 60 days. You need the print out of the x-plan pin number and your club membership card when you go to the dealership in december to place your official order. The X-plan pin numbers and the club membership are good for 1 full year.
Sounds good, gonna do it today.

I placed a second reservation on a Badlands a day ago. My first reservation for an FE is with a dealer that won't guarantee no ADM. The second dealer has a much better reputation and has agreed not to charge ADM. I will try to transfer my FE reservation. If I can't I will just cancel it and go with the Badlands. Not gonna pay ADM.

+1 on the reservation allocation - just because the site picked the dealer for me does not mean I will use them. Ford matched me with a sub par dealer in LA and I called them to get some info. The first person said he would call me back the next day and never did. I did a follow up with another sales man and he was shady, played the 'I don't know" and deflected some of my questions. I asked for the Manager and got real answers.

I called a couple dealers asking about pricing. I suggest everyone does the same.

They were all pretty much on par " If you have a reservation no ADM or mark-up, x-plan pricing accepted.

Really shocked because all the Socal dealers put a premium on the new Rubicons when they launched.

My recommendation is get a reservation and call around about pricing.

We'll see how everything turns out when I submit my order.

Don't back down, get the transfer to the dealer you want.

I beleive the X plan is dealer invoice minus .4% plus $275 admin fee. I'd be more than happy to pay that on my FE reservation. Now I just need to find a dealer that will honor that and hope Ford doesn't decide to take away the ability to change dealers for our reservations. When I called the local dealer where I sent my resveration they were clueless on the reservation system. Hopefully Ford can get more information to there dealers ASAP. When you know more than your Ford dealer the system isn't work very well IMO.

just got from Serramonte Ford in northern CA

"Congrats on getting the order in on time to reserve the First Edition – we’ve had a lot of calls this morning from customers asking how they can reserve one now that they show sold out. Ford has not disclosed yet whether there will be X Plan pricing available on the Bronco, but due to the unprecedented demand and the extremely limited production of the First Edition we would not be able to honor an X Plan price on this model even if they had it. We are planning on marking up the First Edition over MSRP, as it will be one of only 3500 made and each dealer will be lucky to get 1 or 2 in total."
That’s the dealer I selected as well. Haven’t reached out to them yet, but looks like I’m going to need to start searching around. :(

Y'all should have bought 100 shares of Ford. It is up 5% today. My guess is it doubles from here.

100 shares held for 6 month ALSO gets you the X-plan.
