Nope, this particular dealership would not do it. I was told by a different person who has really helped me with understanding the back end money with Ford and Lincoln that when a dealer sells under Xplan but takes the pin... they are actually selling it at Xplan price. All the paperwork will show the xplan price but certain dealers will do what they call "dealer assistance" which is basically they are putting down a down payment on behalf of you... and then when Ford sends them a check for the Xplan purchase, they keep it.
This dealer refused to do it but I wasn't complaining. The end result would have been a $100 doc fee and about $775 in their pocket from Ford. So they would have made an extra $75 out of the deal but they did not want to risk being audited etc.
Either way, I can't keep smiling on this deal. Just booked my flight for my wife and I.. flying out Thursday morning, should be at the dealer by noon time and will post a few pics of it then.
I think this will be the first real world Magnetic that someone has scooped up on the forums.[/QUOTE

So are you saying that the x plan is not worth it ? I have the Plan and hope to use it before 12/9
