FDAF Assement charged on X Plan?

[Captcaper]

Boy am I active in this forum..lately.

I'm trying like heck to get into a 08..lot's of hurdles to jump..thanks to all who is helping..

I ordered a truck yesterday under X Plan and on the print out I was given called the Vechicle Order Confirmation, it has FDAF Assessment. $638.00 I thought Smokey said X Plans don't pay this?

FDAF, yes; documentation fees, no.

Everybody pays FDAF (Ford District Advertising Fund), and anything else that's on the dealer's invoice. FDAF pays for those ads what end with something like "See your West Texas Ford dealer for details". And yes, you gotta pay it if you want a Ford.

What you don't pay under X-Plan is anything the dealer adds to the invoice price, such as documentation fee, dealer prep, ADP (additional dealer profit), etc. Also, you don't have to accept any dealer-installed options if you order the truck. For example, some dealers add "paint protection" and or "fabric protection" and or undercoating for a high price. Just say no.

If you buy a truck out of stock, it may already have some dealer-installed options. If that case, you are back to negotiating to determine how much you'll pay for those options. That a good reason to order your truck, so you'll control the entire transaction.

The XPLAN price on the invoice should be your price out the door less taxes, tag and registration.

You're on the right track, but it's plus TT&L. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

correct - I meant the invoice does NOT show those.

Ford pays the dealer to sell the vehicle cost of the program is recovered by the dealer. I think its a flat fee of somwhere around $600
