The Ford Friends and Family Discount is a special supplier price Ford Motor Company calls Ford X-Plan. This is simply a pre-negotiated price set by the manufacturer. The dealership does not set this price.
To get the Ford X-Plan price you need a generated PIN or code to provide to the dealer.
There are three ways to get the X-Plan pricing code. Watch this video and I’ll tell you about them below.
The first way to qualify for a Friends and Family Discount known as X-Plan is to have a family member or friend who works for Ford or one of their partners who can generate a code for you. Typically, they get two codes to generate per year to use or give away to a friend or family member.
The second way to qualify for X-Plan pricing is if you work for a company who has partnered with Ford. Ford Motor Company partners with thousands of companies to provide this pre-negotiated price as a perk to its employees. If you work for a company that provides the X-Plan pricing as a perk, you should qualify and be able to contact your HR or applicable department to learn how to generate the code. Ask your employer.
The last way to get the X-Plan Pricing is by becoming a member of Mustang Club of America. There is a charge to be a member but the savings with X-Plan pricing is worth the cost of the one time membership fee. Any membership level will get you X-Plan pricing and it begins at $25 for a year membership. You must also be a member for 90 days before using the X-Plan. From the Mustang Club of America site it states:
You can start your car shopping process from this site to find out what the X-Plan pricing is on certain vehicles. Enter your X-Plan Pricing code and you’ll see which vehicles qualify and what the pricing is on them.

Deciding whether to lease or buy a car can be complicated, particularly when considering the tax implications.
