[QUOTE="RapidResponder, post: 16588148, member: 195907"] Wow. I appreciate your more detailed explanation of corporate sales. I have seen these cars for 40 years, executives driving a new product every year. This is not what I am referring to. I think we are mostly saying the same thing. I have personally purchased many A Plan vehicles over the years. I always go through the Corporate Office and receive a PIN before even walking into a dealership door. I have always been advised to bypass Sales Staff and go directly to the GSM. Submit/Sign order, 3% under the dealer cost, and lowest Ford Credit Interest Rate offered if I should choose not to pay cash. I am assured that dealerships make money through rebates and future allocations. I think you are confused with term "VIP". I have purchased VIP cars in the past, and one was produced at the FRAP yesterday. It is not a "Courtesy Delivery", but a VIP car which is sold directly to a buyer, placed in their name, Local Sales Contract, taxed, registered and licensed. No limitations on options and it does not affect existing dealership allocations. I have even seen offerings of "one of the first cars built" which means a very low Chassis Number. I personally was in a meeting when a Ford Executive stated this was a "Non-allocated VIP Purchase", to which the Dealership GSM reconfirmed. VIP vehicles are also not allocated, but they are sold to customers and the dealership still makes money similar to the A Plan. And the relationships that are built are beneficial to the entire industry. I wish you luck. And I am very impressed that you were able to secure a personal GT500 allocation. I can attest that owning one is a life changing experience! I am glad you are willing to have a civil conversation representing Ford. And so are my many Ford friends. [b]RR[/b] [/QUOTE]
