If you have a Costco membership that was in place before August 31st 2011 you as a Ford XPlan customer will receive an additional $1,000 rebate. This rebate can be used with your Ford XPlan incentives from Ford of Canada and can be for in stock vehicles or a factory order.

A new $1,500 rebate on the 2009 and 2010 F-150 Crew cabs and Super cabs for XPlan customers is now in effect. This rebate will end September 30th. The new rebate can be used on a factory order as well and is in addition to the delivery allowances that are currently in place.

A great truck at a great price!

The new incentives from Ford of Canada are out and the following vehicles have 0% financing which can be combined with the Ford X Plan program. The Fusion (excluding the “S” and Hybrid model), select Mustangs, the Ford Edge (excluding the SE), The Ford Flex (excluding the SE).

From what I’m seeing so far the XPlan deals are quite a bit better than the previous Employee pricing and if you are financing they are a lot better.

Call me to get the XPlan price on your favourite Ford vehicle.

Ford of Canada has announced the extension of the Recycle Your Ride program. Starting October 1st 2010 customers can receive up to $3,300 (the extra $300 is on vehicles 1995 or older) for trading in their old car on a new Ford vehicle. The image below shows the credits for the selected vehicles. An additional $300 will be given by the Canadian Government. Combining this program with the  Ford X Plan program is a dream come true for customers who have been holding off trading in their older car.

XPlan.ca Update: Ford Employee Pricing 2014

Ford of Canada announced today that the Ford Employee Pricing will continue until Sept 7th 2009. I will post the details of the new incentives here on September 8th. On another note my 17th Escape arrived today. I noticed that the 2010 Escape 4 cylinder XLT front wheel drive now gets 40 mpg on the highway and 30 mpg in the city. I will create a new page and keep track of the mileage per tank on this new Escape like I did on one in 2008.

• What is X Plan?

X Plan, also know as the Ford Partner Recognition Program, is a program for the employees of Ford suppliers and partner companies. It is designed to assist the employees of these selected companies with the purchase or lease of a new Ford vehicle. The pricing is based on 4 percent above the A Plan price. A Plan is the price that Ford employees pay for a vehicle and is the true “Dead Cost” shown on the vehicle invoice. Every Ford vehicle invoice printed by the Ford Motor Company has the A Plan and the X Plan price printed in the lower center section. Look through this page for more details on the X Plan program.

• Am I an X Plan customer?

That actually depends on where you work or if you know someone who is currently working at Ford or has retired from Ford. The X Plan program is designed to give the employees of partner companies special pricing on their new vehicle purchases. You should contact your companies human resources department or the manager of your department and ask if your company qualifies for X Plan. Ford employees can give four X Plans to friends or neighbours per year.

• How does X-Plan work?

Step 1: Eligible employee obtains Partner Recognition Code from their manager or human resources rep.

Step 2: A Personal Identification Number (PIN) can be obtained by clicking on the  www.fordpartner.com to the right or by calling 1-877-294-7554 (Canada), 1-877-XPLAN-00 (U.S.) X-Plan participants will be required to provide their Name, Address, and the last 4 digits in your Social Insurance Number.

Step 3: Participants can contact Andy and arrange the purchase of a Ford or vehicle. XPlan customers should identify themselves as a Partner Recognition (X-Plan) participant. Provide the dealer with the last 4 digits in your Social Insurance Number and your X Plan PIN.

Step 4: Select a vehicle.

Step 5: Provide proof of employment by an eligible Ford partner through a pay stub, company ID, business card, etc.

Step 6: Pick up your new vehicle at the dealership .

• Can X Plan customers purchase or lease?

Yes. You can purchase or lease any qualified vehicle. Financing can be done by Ford Credit or from any other source. All Ford leases must be executed through Ford Credit’s Red Carpet Lease.

• Are there restrictions on model years or vehicles that qualify?

Yes, prior model year vehicles are only eligible through March 31st of the current model year. The Super Duty trucks from F-450 and up currently do not qualify for X Plan.

• How long do participants have to keep an X Plan vehicle?

You must keep an X Plan vehicle in your possession and registered in your name for at least six months from the date of purchase or lease.

• I work for an eligible company. How many X Plan’s can I use?

As an X Plan customer you can purchase or lease 2 vehicles per calendar year.

• Can I buy a used vehicle or dealer demo on the X Plan?

No, the X Plan program is designed for new vehicles only. A registered demo does not qualify unless it has less then 200km on the odometer.

• What if I’d like additional options on my vehicle?

Optional equipment installed by the dealership and aftermarket services provided by the dealership are not covered under the X Plan program. The dealership may charge any agreed upon price for these items. Dealer installed equipment or services, such as undercoating, must be individually listed and priced separately on the bill of sale or lease contract.

X Plan customers do not pay the dealership admin fee. Licensing costs, PPSA (registering a lien on a vehicle which is leased or financed) and any federal or provincial taxes must be paid. The federal gas tax and green levies must also be collected.

• Are trade-in’s allowed with X Plan?

• Are customers who recently purchased or leased eligible for the program?

This special pricing offer is only available when a customer identifies himself or herself as a participant and provides a PIN prior to completing the purchase or lease transaction. The program is not retroactive.

Now is the best time for XPlan customers to factory order a new Ford vehicle. Why? Let me explain. Currently Ford of Canada is offering Employee pricing to the general public this includes Ford XPlan customers. When you order a vehicle the current pricing is “rain checked” or guaranteed when the vehicle arrives. For customers using the Ford X Plan program there is a very good chance (strong in some cases) that the incentives will be better when the vehicle arrives using XPlan so at that time I will go over both deals and determine which is best. If you are paying cash chances are the current deal will be the best but if you are financing I’m quite confident it will be better when the vehicle arrives. Either way you are protected on the best price and you will get the exact Ford vehicle you wanted.  The current Employee pricing event ends August 31st.
