[QUOTE="RapidResponder, post: 16587945, member: 195907"] No, I do not work for a dealership. I am only a Ford Enthusiast like most on this board. A very well connected enthusiast who has purchased and collected Ford vehicles over many years. All VIP orders come from the Corporate Office. They originate from corporate areas such as Ford Performance, US Field Operations, Executive Offices or higher. VIP orders are always at MSRP, but I have personally seen prices negotiated with dealerships well below that. These are non-allocated and in addition to the set dealership allocations. A Plan Vehicles are generally the same having a price set at 3% under the Dealer cost. They can be generated directly through the Corporate Office once a qualified buyer receives a confirmation PIN. In return, Dealerships are given money on the back-end in addition to a rebate from Ford. Sometimes they are even given additional allocations. A Plan sales for the buyer used to always be through the back Fleet Sales office, but are now generally handled through the Front Sales Office usually directly with the General Sales Manager. Specialty vehicles, (such as the GT500, Raptor, etc.), are not included in A Plan Pricing. GSMs tend to jump at the opportunity to to facilitate both VIP and A Plan sales. A Dealership would be crazy to turn away any business in which they would make money. And the relationships built often makes them even more money down the road. All VIP and A Plan sales must go through a dealership to facilitate end sales contracts, taxes, licensing, etc. I would think that Ford would frown upon dealerships not facilitating these type of sales for the convenience of their customers. Admittedly, these usually do not go through General Sales Staff as there is minimal or no commission. And yes, you are correct. Purchasing and selling an allocation gives credit to the end dealership. That is probably why my local dealership has had an allocation increase this year to 16-20 GT500s, (not including VIP cars), depending on actual production. And they will probably buy another 20-30 allocations. Yes, they move that many Ford Performance vehicles, as well as considerable numbers of Shelby, Saleen, Roush, Tuscany, etc. Again, VIP and A Plan vehicles are non-allocated and should have no impact on retail sales. There are other issues, such as Commodity Restrictions or residual business planning, that could have an impact. [b][i]RR[/i][/b] [/QUOTE]
