X-Plan pricing INCREASED? (On Ford Partner site)

[Free Agent]

Here is a screen grab with some prices for a few options notice they are HIGHER than the prices listed on the spreadsheet and every DORA I've seen so far here on the site.

For instance.. 20 inch wheels were 1156, Nav system was 710 and so on.

Give me a minute, having problems with the pic file it won't take a tiff file. Jeesh.

Okay here it is...

Would you gentlemen mind posting up your DORA or other document that states the X-plan prices next to the options? It could really help. Unless you already have in the ordering thread.

The thing is if you look at individual x-plan prices of options they have gone up about 1.3 to 1.4 percent each. Now this all may be the ADV fee that the B&P site bakes in to each option already as they do not list ADV fee or Fuel charge.

The option prices that come up for me are DIFFERENT than the spreadsheet shown earlier and EVERY DORA that I've seen posted on the site. I have listed some in an earlier post.

Again, I will have a better idea tomorrow, but I'm not big on SURPRISES when it comes to pricing, I like to know what is going on.

Screenshot of my order confirmation sheet and my build on the build and price with x-plan ... matches up. Now, we need to realize that the itemization of options on our DORA's and confirmation sheets are priced out as Invoice prices, and then x-plan is applied at the end of the list. I could be wrong, but that is how I understand it. I have not cross-referenced this with the x-plan spreadsheet.

I'm not convinced anything has changed. I feel like we're just missing something here, or that Ford is simply presenting the breakdown differently than expected. When I enter your options into the spreadsheet, which still has the 'old' prices, I get exactly $39,262... i.e., the exact same price you show in your B&P screenshot.

I think this is what is at play here. Just a different (refined :shrug way of laying out the pricing.

Okay thank you to both. I think I see what is going on now.

It appears that the X-Plan B&P site "bakes" in the ADV fee on every option AND into the model itself. Those are detailed on your DORA/Invoice separately and evidently the B&P site figures those numbers in, hence the discrepancy between prices of options. I could probably see what the "base" ADV fee is on a GT or GT Premium if I can find someone who has ordered NO options and has posted up their invoice/DORA.

I think I'm to the bottom of this (I hope). I appreciate all who have helped. Maybe I will save closer to that $2500 amount over the $1750 I had figured out.

Yeah, I think this is just another B&P bug. Notice that the Premier Trim Package is showing a $0 price, even though we know it's not free.

The bottom line seems to be the same as before, even though the price breakdown per option is being displayed differently/wrong.

Yeah, I mentioned this as a possible explanation further up in the thread. Might have been missed amongst all the commotion. ;)

Yep Premier Trim price shows up when you click on it as an option but doesn't show up price wise on the final breakdown. The price however DOES get added in to the options listed though. Just another B&P bug like the 3.55 gears not showing up.

As long as I get the VOC or DORA tomorrow with the breakdown I can see what is going on.

Oops sorry, must have missed it. Been doing a lot of internet point and clicking and numbers checking and missed it. Sorry.

If the bottom line pricing doesn't change, how they present the data isn't really important.
I think they are just baking the "extra" ADV fees into each number.

Edit: EB Premium Fastback + Auto + PP + Recaros on my spreadsheet is 32,718.31. On x-plan build and price its 32,719.
GT Premium + Track Pack + Recaros 38,559.85 on the spreadsheet, 38,560 on x-plan build and price.

I think we're ok. ;)

LOL, no apology needed. :cheers:

This is one of those cases where being wrong is a good thing. I can't order mine for at least another 10 days, so hoping things hold steady until then.

Maybe a change in the title of the thread would be warranted...something like "It appeared there was a price increase but math sometimes is tricky!"

Damn mathematics!!! :frusty:

yup I thought the same thing at first, but since the ADV charge is based on the total price of the car, each option will have the additional ADV charge "baked" into it as "ilkhan" has said. Numbers for each option are a bit off but only by a few bucks here and there from what I calculated.

It's 15 cents more than my ordered car. The numbers are rounded up. Depending on options maybe it's just a glitch on certain options. The basic car seems to work fine as far as accuracy for me.
