Employee discount for Ford trucks
Does Ford still offer the X deals (I think it was X) to employees?

You will always have people that scam the system and others that don't. I have always given out all of my F&F numbers and have been audited by the company. I know this because a person that I had given a number to EP number called me and was all worried.
The FCA process is I have to register the buyer then input information, address, dob,last 4 SS, name, vehicle buying and trading. Then agree to the rules before a number is generated.
If the company finds out that I'm selling my numbers I can be fired, given a DLO, suspended from ever using the discount program and the person I sold the number to could be made to repay the vehicle discount money back.
IMO no amount of kick back would be worth that to me anyway. Dadoffourgirls how does GM work their discounts. At one time you just made the best deal then notified the dealer that you are an employee. My Dad hated buying a new vehicle and usually could get a better price buying a Ford.

...Just for the sake of clarification if someone is buying, the dealer can charge a DOC fee but is limited in the amount they can charge.

Bought a new Ford F250 diesel p/u using an A Plan PIN. At that time (maybe still, don't know), an A plan was available only to employees and blood relatives. I knew a guy that worked for Ford, he would sell his allocated A plan pins for $200, just had to tell the dealer he was a brother. He kept $100, his union rep got the other $100. Nowadays, last names don't mean much. That saved me almost $10K on that purchase. Oh, the dealer cannot add any fees on top of that A plan price. No doc fees or any of that phony ****. You pay the predetermined price, sales tax, and a very small title fee.
Around here, almost every Ford dealer will give you X plan pricing right up front. You can almost always beat that price with good negotiation skills.

I was a Ford employee for 24 years--until my division was sold. I ended up eventually being a Fiat USA employee when I retired.
Ford pays the dealer 6% profit to handle the A Plan (and other plans). They also have their dealer holdback and Ford Dealer Advertising Plan account, so they're receiving an adequate profit.
And all current dealer incentives and low APR programs go back to the buyer. You cannot beat that deal.

Correct
-\"X plan\" meh
-\"A plan\" much better ,but can be beat on a slow selling line by a good negotiator .
Fun fact - \"A plan\" used to get suspended on a hot seller because they were all allocated to customers that were willing to pay list.
Employees had to wait until the heat died a bit .
