looks like it is just ford/lincoln/mercury vehicles accroding to ford's website.

 

Just a wild guess but I doubt if any vehicle other than the Ford, Merc or Lincoln brands will be included in the FoMoCo employee pricing promotion. Ford's other "premium" brands (e.g., Aston Martin, Volvo, Mazda, etc.) don't need any help. Although, of course, an Aston DB9 sure would look nice parked next to my L.

By the way, you can check out the official Ford website at www.fordvehicles.com for a look at actual pricing on the elegible models. For example, I just priced an Expedition King Ranch and, after employee pricing (they call it "Family Plan" pricing) and rebates, it quoted me a price $10,000 less than MSRP (i.e. $34,000 vs. $44,000).

I've always loved the King Ranch. Nice truck!!

 

Now, does that work out to less than "invoice?" And the reason I quoted invoice, is because its all a numbers game, and they still make money even selling at dealer invoice cost. I can prob get a F-350 at a price close to invoice through the military. Not sure which will be cheaper.

 

Easy to find out. Just check out one of the pricing websites like Edmunds or KBB for the base price of an F-350 and compare that with what you get on the Ford website.

 

X-plan is usually just a little below invoice while A-plan is usually over $1000 under (depends on how expensive of a vehicle you are going for).

I just checked Edmunds for an '05 F350 2dr regular cab XLT rwd LB DRW w/5.4L and 6-speed. It shows a base MSRP of $28,320. This compairs pretty close to the Ford website listing of $28,280 for an F350 Super Duty.

The Edmunds site lists the invoice for the above truck at $24,722. The Ford site shows an employee price of $24,092.96, or about $630 below invoice.

Of course, with the Ford deal you also qualify for any rebates and there is currently a $2,000 cash back deal on the Super Duty. So, bottom line (without tax, tag, etc.) would be $22,092.96 (or about $6,200 under MSRP).

I'm sure there is a lot of variance from vehicle to vehicle with the more expensive ones getting the biggest discounts, etc., but it sure looks like the best deal out there is the Family Plan employee pricing deal directly from Ford.

 

Thanks for the leg work! I may have to jump on this! Oh god....thats just what I need...a third fri ggin vehicle for a guy who's out to sea 8 months out of the year!

 

Know what you mean, bro. I was in the Nav for a while myself. I think the hardest part is about a month before a deployment ends. That last 30 days just seems to stretch on forever.

Best of luck,

Mike
