A New All-Wheel-Drive vs. what I currently have: Old School Four-Wheel-Drive

I took advantage of Ford's X-Plan pricing program when I special ordered my '20 Ford Ranger 4x2, it required me to join a Mustang enthusiasts club, as I am not a FoMoCo employee, I believe there was a 3 month waiting period after joining the club before being able to take advantage of the program. The plan limits the buyer to just one transaction per year.

The process was as seamless as can be, the price Ford quoted was all inclusive, including shipping and dealer handling fees, the only additional fee, of course was for local sales tax and licensing.

If there is anything I won't tolerate it's haggling with a new car dealership, I worked as a mechanic @ a Lincoln-Mercury dealership and heard and saw all the horror stories of what goes on in such a process, especially what transpires in the finance office.

I'd go the X-Plan route again in a heartbeat.

We're a GM family through and through, always use the GM discount. My dad worked at Buick for 44 years as did pretty much all my uncles. No haggling needed.

Buick for 44 years

While growing up in the mid '60's, we were primarily a Ford family, my Father, however broke from tradition and traded his '62 T-Bird (the car was a lemon) for a '64 Riviera, a totally fabulous automobile, the old Nailhead V8 ran like a Swiss watch.
The Riviera was replaced by a '68 Cadillac Eldorado, which turned out to be another lemon, it was, in turn, replaced by a '69 Imperial LeBaron coupe, however my Dad was totally disappointed by it's build quality, rattles and squeaks abounded in the car.
All became full circle when he got rid of the Imperial for a new '73 Lincoln Continental Mark IV, he's owned Lincolns since, although he would reminisce about the Riviera quite fondly...
