Dealer Allocation vs. Special Order
Does an ordered vehicle still count against a dealer's allocation? With all the talk about many dealers not accepting X-Plan, I wonder if special ordering a vehicle will give me a better chance at a dealer accepting the X-Plan.

YES... Orders count against Allocation.
No... Ordering or not ordering has nothing to do with Xplan... if the dealership is owned by a jerk.. they don't accept it... If the dealership is owned buy a "Good Guy" the accept it. Xplan acceptance is purely up the the dealership.

RE: Dealer Allocation vs. Special Order
This same dealership accepted X-plan when I ordered an '04 F150, but may not accept it for the GT. I guess it all boils down to supply and demand.
I've already told him if he doesn't accept X-Plan, I'll be checking all the other dealerships in VA and NC until I find one that does. So, if he wants to lose any commission at all on the sale....
I know, this isn't much leverage, especially if Ford drops the ball again for '06 and doesn't make enough GTs to satisfy demand.
