Any of the plans can be used for an order but dealers can decide if they will accept a plan. So basically, the dealer is betting you'll take a car from stock.I just spoke with an autonation dealership near my work and he quoted 8-12 weeks to receive an ordered mustang. He also told me x plan can't be used when placing orders so I'm a little hesitant to take his word for it.
I told them exactly what I wanted and nothing else. He also told me there was a markup on ordering a vehicle... he also had no idea what color Orange Fury was when I told him the color of choice.Any of the plans can be used for an order but dealers can decide if they will accept a plan.

When I ordered our 2010 it took 13 weeks because of the weather (snow) in the north. That was a long wait. When I ordered our '13 it only took 4 1/2 weeks as everything went smoothly, and luckily Ford was running a line of convertibles at the time. The dealers will give you a window of 6 - 8 weeks, but there are variables always in play. I've ordered four vehicle in the past, and three fell into the 6 -8 weeks window though.
As I said, he is betting you will buy a car from stock (or be suckered into paying extra to order). That could be the individual salesperson who needs money NOW or a dealer who has way too much in stock (or otherwise dumb).I told them exactly what I wanted and nothing else. He also told me there was a markup on ordering a vehicle... he also had no idea what color Orange Fury was when I told him the color of choice.
Find another dealer! X plan is an easy sale for them. They still make money. As for Orange Fury, most dealers won't order it into stock so they want to steer you away. Find another dealer and get it placed soon. The order banks for the 2019 open in March!!!!!I told them exactly what I wanted and nothing else.

As others have said, he's hoping your a sucker. I would move on to another if possible.I just spoke with an autonation dealership near my work and he quoted 8-12 weeks to receive an ordered mustang.

??????????????????????????The only dealer I know in CA that doesn't do adms on special edition Ford's is Ford store Morgan hill.
THIS... I wish I had known more about this before I put in my order. I went to a smaller family owned dealership to order thinking I would get better service from people who had been in business for a while. The closer dealership had about $1,200 of dealer add ons on ever single vehicle on the lot and I did not want to support a dealer that does this. I flat out asked about allocation and timing as well as about a dozen other items items including X-plan. The answer went from "I will have to check on the allocation, but it only takes 8-10 weeks to get the car" to "The owner is working with the ford rep. for the allocation" after the dealer got my deposit. (I should have known better, but I was excited to order the car exactly as I wanted it)Lastly-- allocation. Many do not understand allocation. Most dealers have stock (and credit) limits with Ford and cannot just 'order away' (It ain't Amazon). So your Order may sit and sit for a while before the Zone manger picks it up for the build. 2 guys order the same car, same town, same build specs but from two different dealers in the same town on the same day and arrival time between the 2 cars could be 4-6 weeks apart. The dealership that is moving cars and constantly rolling over inventory is gonna get their order filled a lot faster then the dealer that has sitting inventory.
I'm in the Houston area too. Houston is a very competitive market and most dealers will beat X-plan (at least as of today's date), plus you can't get some of the current cash rebates using X. As mentioned somewhere else in this thread, either contact the sales or internet manager directly, or better, simply do the same with all the other dealers in the area and ask. There are a bunch of them here and you have nothing to lose by trying........I just spoke with an autonation dealership near my work and he quoted 8-12 weeks to receive an ordered mustang.
