Was that using Ford's X-Plan tool? Did it also break out the advertising charge? If it came out the same, then that "advertising assessment" charge must be in there too.
Yes I used the x-plan tool. No, but the invoice $#'s were different also. Both final prices were exactly the same. Weird, but as long as that's what I pay, I don't care.
That is weird. Is it possible to post the side-by-side differences, was it the invoice price on the base car charge?
I'm really excited about SYNC3/Android Auto and that's the one thing that has made me hold off on the 2015s so far. It's been an ongoing back and forth for weeks. I've written down the pros and cons of 2015 vs 2016 and I'm still back at square one but leaning 2016 slightly. Ultimately it's more financially responsible to just get a 2015, but I won't be as happy with it as I would with a 2016.
From what I can tell, the advertising is built in the X-plan but doesn't show while you are building it. Once you option out the car, it breaks it down to even the fuel charge.
It seems to be hidden in the Ford X-Plan tool as 5.0Fireman showed. All of the prices in his on-line print-out from the Ford sight have slightly higher prices than the "Invoice" prices shown on the other source of information. Ford spreads that $625 over all the prices break downs so it is buried into the bottom line price.
There was a price increase in Dec/Jan so I am guessing that may be outdated. When I bought mine the X Plan price I paid matched the price on the Ford site when I built mine in November. On my DORA the charges were pretty clear and I didn't feel anything was hidden because it's explained in the plan rules. It looked to me like the advertising fee was included in the X Plan price and it's better than paying that plus the ridiculous dealer and document fees you pay without X Plan.
I ordered this week. Nothing there is outdated. I agree it's still better than paying outrageous dealer fees
Obviously the advertising fee is included in the X-Plan, but as 5.0Fireman has shown, it is not broken out as a separate item when you go build a Mustang on Ford's website. You have to see other sources/break downs of the X-Plan price to see that advertising fee.
Damn wish I got that deal wouldn't have bought the 2.3
