I have seen the term X plan in lots of the ford websites, but that it's only valid for New Cars.... How much of a discount is it off of a Cobra, what exactly is it, and who on here used it for their purchase? Thanks
What is the X-PLAN????

Here is what I have from my employer regarding X Plan. I do not know what the discount would be for the cobra, but this would give you an idea. edit: This list is a couple years old but it still gives you a ballpark figure.
What is the X-Plan?
Ford employees are entitled to an A-Plan, in which a Ford Motor Company vehicle can be purchased below the "Dealer Invoice" (what the dealer paid Ford for the vehicle), which, naturally, is well under the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (or "Sticker Price"). The X-Plan is the next best level: the A-Plan price plus 4 percent, which still results in the vehicle's cost to you being below the Dealer Invoice amount. Even the best of negotiators couldn't expect to achieve such savings from a dealership.
Active **** employees, retirees and their spouses in the United States and Canada are entitled to purchase or lease two vehicles per year through the X-Plan.
All eligible retail incentives, such as rebates, can still be applied to X-Plan purchases.
Since the dealer must show you the Invoice and A-Plan Prices, there's no haggling over what you'll pay for the vehicle.
Ford Motor Company vehicles that are not eligible under the X-Plan, such as the Jaguar and Aston Martin lines and the new Thunderbird, are usually not eligible under the A-Plan to Ford Motor Company employees as well.
Used vehicles, including dealer demonstrators, are not eligible.
Trade-in allowances are not covered by this program and must be negotiated with the dealership.
All leases under this program must be obtained through the respective brand's credit source.

Talked to a dealer about 3 months ago for a silver cobra, and he said w/ the A-Plan it would 31k, so I'm assuming X-Plan would be about 34k.
