Good to know. Thanks for your help!
Glad this thread exists, but at 18 pages I couldn't find my answer but I'm sure someone will be able to chime in with an answer. Here is my question: with X plan, do dealer discounts and customer cash still get applied? For example, I have my eye on a 2018 GT PP, here is the breakdown:
Dealer invoice with holdback for the GT: $33,165
Dealer invoice on PP: $3,795
Transport/Delivery Charge: $900
Total Dealer invoice: $37,860
To calculate X-plan multiply by .996 and add $275
So total cost on X-plan for vehicle with no customer cash or dealer discounts is $37,984 (MSRP is $39,990)
Right now Ford is running customer cash at $1500 and on the dealer's website it says that the dealer is giving a discount of $2,094. Would both of these offers be applied if I use X plan? If so, it would be sweet to use X plan and deduct $3,594 from the invoice price of $37,984. I'd be able to get the GT PP for $34,390.
Thoughts on this?

rebates from ford still apply in most cases but the dealer discounts likely won't, you've already gone around that with the Xplan. When I ordered my 12 F150 on Xplan pricing I still got all the rebates
I guess I assumed that. Thanks for the reply. I was thinking Ford would still throw in the customer cash but the dealer wouldn't give the dealer discounts.
Right now with the dealer discounts the MSRP is $39,990 and the price after their discounts and Ford customer cash is $36,396. Seriously considering the deal without X plan.
In my area they are huge. The dealers get dingged hard when they come back bad. I dont know if they still do but the salesman use to get bonus based off good surveys
Ok. I always give my service advisor 5 stars and leave her name on my reviews
Moat dealers will beat x plan without any work
Same here. Having a great relationship with your service advisor makes having work done so much easier. No hassel.
My dealer was lucky, I am 200 miles away and so I used a local for my oil cooler recall. I gave the selling dealer the good review, locals got bad review because they didn't torque the oil filter and it leaked.
A bad survey I left my dealer went from them blowing me off over a noise in my 3.5 ecoboost, to them replacing the engine with a short block because a connecting rod turned out to be bent.
Obviously I can't answer for all makes and/or dealerships, but I can say with 100% certainty that our new car surveys matter a ton. I just lost $400 last month because of an "8" rating on a question (scale of 1-10). Then again, all of our questions must be answered with a 10 or it's considered failing. But I can't promise that's the way it works elsewhere either.
If you ever have a problem or hiccup somewhere in the system, try addressing it right then and there. Especially if it's not related to your salesperson. When you tank a survey, you're really hurting the salesperson the most. The dealership as a whole is impacted, sure, but it will directly reflect on your salesperson's paycheck most of the time. There's also usually a place to write comments and/or suggestions that won't impact a survey scoring, but give a higher up the chance to read about your experience.
Side note: my dealership also monetarily compensates a customer for a positive review on our social media pages, as well as us.

Being honest on the survey is best. If they didnt do you right give them a bad survey. Ford doesnt want un happy customers. Glad you got everything taken care of.
Maybe on new cars but not on used.
Thats true. Because ford doesnt make money off used cars. The dealers do.
9 times out of 10 the manufacture doesn't give a shit about your bad survey. Chances are all you accomplished was taking money out of your advisor or salespersons paycheck, even if they had no fault in the matter. Best course of action is to deal with the matter head on and get it resolved rather than saying nothing and slamming the survey. If they don't make it right by all means take it out on the survey at that point.
