Depends on how good a negotiator you are. The X-Plan price is a little less than invoice price, which is about 10 percent less than MSRP.
I looked at a sticker today for a 2010 F-250 Lariat 4x4 CrewCab shorty with diesel, automagic, Platinum paint, ESOF, tailgate step and the lariat Plus pkg. I'd call that pretty much fully loaded. MSRP was 54,700. X-Plan price should be about $49,300. Plus TT&L, minus any Ford rebates or incentives. Plus the dealer is limited on how much "dealer pack" such as documentation fees he can add on to the X-Plan price.

and does anyone have one they don't need?

All X-Plan PINs are tied to the SSAN of the person who received it. So no one else can use it, therefore no one can give you their PIN. If you want one, you'll have to get your own under your SSAN. If you don't work for a Ford Partner company, then any Ford employee can give you an X-Plan PIN.
After you have an X-Plan PIN, then any dealer willing to sell you a truck under X-Plan must show you the invoice. The X-Plan price is right there on the invoice, so you have nothing to worry about.
Unless you have a trade-in. The X-Plan price is for the new truck. But if you have a trade in, then you're right back to the negotiating table to determine how much real cash money they will give you for your old hoopy. On an X-Plan deal, don't expect more than actual auction value for your old ride. You're usually better off selling your old ride yourself.
