Shopping for New Ford

I like the business models of the dealerships in Idaho, who will give you a no-haggle price over the internet for new Rams and GMs.
I haven't been able to locate a Ford dealer that operates the same way.
I haven't decided on any particular brand, but I know I'm going to buy a one ton diesel for my impending retirement (YAY!) so we can get a fifth wheel and go camping.
I like having the prices posted so I can better compare models.
I am in Southern Cal, but I am okay with out of state dealers.

Thanks in advance.

For Ford, if you want a "no Haggle" price, you can easily get that.

Just need to get hooked up with a "X PLAN" pin.

X plan is a fixed price which is slightly more than Employee Pricing (A PLAN).

Plenty of ways to get a PIN, where you work at may be a X plan member, check with your work HR, some different special interest groups offer X plan if you become a "member" and you can buy a min of 100 shares of Ford stock (must own for 6 months before able to get PIN).

You can also ask on Fords website (Blue Ovals) and a employee might be able to give you one of their extra PINs..

PLEASE READ THEIR "STICKIES" in the link above on how the X plan works and how to request a PIN!

Once you have a PIN, you can go to Ford's websites and check the X plan prices on the vehicles also, there is a specific Ford website for Ford Partners (IE X plan members)..

You won't save a ton of money over haggling but you do get a few advantages.. The last vehicle I bought, I ordered with X plan, takes about 6-8 weeks typically, my price was locked in on the day I ordered.. The day of delivery Ford had pushed a price increase of $500 through!.. I STILL paid the original price quoted at the time of ordering!

X plan also limits and or caps MANY fees.. Which CAN save you a lot of money..

Good luck!
