X-Plan
Hey guys,
This is my 1st post here. I've have been coming here for several
months just reading along with everyone.
Congrats to all the new owners!
I just found out today that the company I work qualifies for
Ford's X-Plan, which 4% above whole sale (A-Plan). I was
wondering how much this will be below MSRP. Does anyone
know what the wholesale price is?

Maybe early next year! If the discount is good enough then
I would be willing to wait. That's one of the reasons why I
was inquiring on what is the wholesale price. I love this car
but if I can save a coulple of thousand dollars, then it would
be worth it to wait. It just means more money for mods :-)

My dealer told me S-plan discounts would be accepted next year as well... They also said that is likely when they will start pricing different than MSRP.
Don't know how much truth is in that since we all know how dealers are.

Actually, I just got the following in an e-mail sent earlier today. My company just got on board with the x-plan pricing:
"I noticed you were interested in the new RX-8. It was just made eligible for X-plan 2 days ago. It is a hot car and suppply is short. Dealers may not want to sell this car at this time at this price. They individually have that option. If so, wait a bit and it will likely change."

Yes, our dealership will honor the A plan on your new RX-8. Our dealership currently has the largest selection of RX-8s in orange county with a total of 22 vehicles. I would also like for you to know that there is know dealer mark-up on any of the vehicles. Please feel free to call or email the exact options and color your interested in.
S-Plan is gettin' close - I can feel it!

i just need clarification one more time:
so the the rx-8 is now eligible for the x-plan, however its dependant upon whether or not the dealer chooses to participate in this program?

Just call or email the dealerships in your area and ask if they will honor S-Plan (Mazda's version of Ford's X-Plan) pricing. I had no problem finding some that would, but that may be because both Mazda and Ford have some kind of headquarters buildings here and so a lot of Mazda employees probably buy their cars from nearby dealerships.

I love the fact that you can get a friggin' Aston Martin, but you can't get the RX8. That makes my decision so much easier, I'll have to get the Aston Martin!!
