The Ford X-Plan is a special vehicle pricing program offered by Ford Motor Company to its employees, retirees, and partners of eligible companies. It provides a way to purchase or lease new Ford vehicles at a pre-negotiated price, often significantly lower than the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) and sometimes even below the dealer's invoice price.
The X-Plan price is designed to be fair and transparent. It's calculated based on a specific formula that takes into account the dealer's invoice price, a pre-determined percentage of that invoice, and a fixed dealer participation amount.
How the Ford X-Plan Price is Calculated:
The core formula for determining the Ford X-Plan price is as follows:
Dealer Invoice Price: This is the price the dealership paid Ford for the vehicle. It's the starting point for the X-Plan calculation.
X-Plan Partner Program Amount: This is a percentage that Ford applies to the Dealer Invoice Price. For example, a value of 0.90 would mean 90% of the invoice price.
X-Plan Dealer Participation Amount: This is a fixed dollar amount that Ford dictates the dealer must contribute to the sale. It acts as an additional discount.
Dealership Add-On Costs: This includes any optional accessories, protection packages, or other items the dealership may have added to the vehicle that are not included in the base invoice price, and which the buyer agrees to purchase. This is typically optional and negotiated.
It's important to note that the X-Plan price typically excludes other costs such as:
Destination fees (if not included in invoice)
Taxes
Title and license fees
Dealer-installed options not part of the X-Plan calculation (e.g., aftermarket wheels, security systems if not pre-approved)
Any other dealer-added fees or markups not covered by the X-Plan.
Who is Eligible?
Eligibility for the Ford X-Plan generally includes:
Current Ford employees and retirees.
Employees of eligible supplier companies.
Employees of eligible fleet customer companies.
Friends and family members referred by eligible Ford employees or X-Plan partners.
Specific eligibility requirements and the process for obtaining a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) specific pricing authorization can be found on Ford's internal or partner portals.
When to Use This Calculator:
This calculator is useful for:
Getting an estimated X-Plan price for a desired Ford vehicle.
Comparing potential X-Plan savings against other pricing methods.
Understanding the components that make up the X-Plan price.
Always confirm the final X-Plan price and details with your local Ford dealership, as specific dealer participation and add-on costs can vary. This calculator provides an estimate based on the standard X-Plan formula.
