Z-plan
Even though I have a million variables that makes it nearly impossible to get a clear picture, I have been trying to figure out when exactly a new pony with a v8 engine will be financially available to me.
This last thing that has crossed my mind for this extremely complex formula was the fact that I remembered that I qualify for the Z-plan discount due to my grandfather being a retired Ford employee (and my other grandfather worked for GM so I could get a similar deal, but I'm a ford loyalist
).
I've just done a minor amount of research to find that I can go to a dealership and ask for a printout of the invoice to show how much the Z-plan would save me (which should be the same as the A-plan if I am not mistaken), but at 3:00am, that isn't really an option. So my question is: has anyone recently purchased their new pony with a Z-plan? And if so, roughly how much did it save you?
I know I'm starry-eyed on this whole thing and I shouldn't get my hopes up too much as I'm only 21 and about to enter the teaching field which doesn't help my situation either. I also have a perfectly fine '05 v6 that's paid-off with only about 75k miles on it, but it is tempting to upgrade as my dad has a '69 Mach 1 (the engine is a '71 351 Cobra Jet). I would love to show him up one of these days. >=)

I bought my 11v6 with A-plan and it was ~$3k under msrp. It depends on what options you get as you get a discount on those as well, but I would assume around 10% under msrp. When you go to a dealership they have to show you what the pricing is on a sheet, but they probably want your z-plan code first.

Wow, that's quite a bit more than I was expecting. I also wouldn't have thought that I would have needed the PIN until it actually became time to buy. Looks like I need to make a phone call in the near future.
Also, I read that it is also possible to have other rebates and discounts apply as well. Is this true or have they changed that? I would assume it would still apply and work as any other rebate would where the corporation repays the franchise to make up the difference.
