My dealer really grumbled about doing X-Plan and of course didn't offer to beat it. I made the rookie mistake of thinking it was going to be the best deal over negotiating. I won't make that mistake again on the next Ford.Joining the chorus of "dealer beat the X-Plan" - it wasn't even close for us.

I didn't have a choice on the GT500 as it wasn't on X-Plan, but back then I was able to eventually get one at MSRP but it took contacting about a dozen dealers all over the state. It's all just a racket.
I'd love a GT500, those are amazing cars. Both those and the Raptors demand a premium for sure.
I had an X-plan pin via Mustang Club and ended up getting a much better deal as well from the dealer. I will say that knowing the X-plan price gave me a good starting point when it came to negotiating. If I would have known that I could have just accessed the X-plan site without having to have the pin I would have just done that first. Luckily it was only 20$ or something for the Mustang Club membership, so I felt it was more than fair.
Not arguing, I am curious, of those who say the dealership beat X-plan pricing - did the dealership show you a printout that listed the X-plan price? Usually they call it "the invoice" which is anymore a mostly fictional document or misnomer. The form I've seen also listed A/Z and D numbers adjacent to X-plan, which were obscured, but I was able to see with my own eyes what my X-plan price was. Has always been number an odd number & to the penny ... and certainly not handwritten by a smooth sales manager.
A local GMC dealer has been holding onto the "employee pricing plus" gimmick. My work has a fleet of GM products so we get whatever the GM equivalent is. Coworker recently bought a new Sierra and no surprise, our fleet discount was better than what the dealership wants you to think a GM employee pays. I get marketing, but come on....
Random example of a Ford invoice (lack of better terms) that lists the numbers. If your dealer showed you something other than this, then who knows what you really were looking at.
You can pull xplan pricing right from the xplan site I believe can’t you?
