Ford A Plan friendly dealers

[BigFootie]

You just log into the retiree/employee plan pricing website with your Ford username/password.

There is also a number you can call for those who retired prior-2000.... ish?? (I don't remember exactly when Active Directory was brought in.)


AZXD-plan pricing was always an easy way for dealers to get a guaranteed sale. Customer ends up happy and any extra cost to the dealer gets reimbursed by Ford after the paperwork goes through. It's was a no-brainer honestly.

During the past 2-3 years when dealers could easily sell vehicles over MSRP, it was simply more profitable to do stop offering plan pricing, and so many did just that.

Of course in certain communities like southeast Michigan, Chicago, Louisville, Cleveland, Kansas City, northwest Phoenix, etc. not offering plan-pricing is basically sales suicide because there are gigantic populations of Ford employees in those areas. You become known as the dealer that doesn't offer plan pricing among Ford employees living in that area, and you might as well just start planning for bankruptcy. But for dealers not located in those areas—doesn't matter.

That might help explain it as well since we lived in Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, and my Daughter is in Phoenix. Now the east valley but was Scottsdale then. My father retired from Ford in the mid 80’s. He always just called it in. My local dealer in Middleton never had an issue either. I think I’ve purchased 3 or 4 from them over the years under the plan.

The last vehicle I bought under the plan was my 2006 Escape. It listed for about 23k and it was out the door for around 14k because of the plan and I think 5 or 6K of rebates at the time.
