Hiya fellow blades,
I know I'm waaaay off topic here, but I'm looking into buying my first new car and need some help. I have looked far and wide and have finally set my
sights on the Mazda3. I've talked to my dealership and browsed online and found that I can get a substantial discount on the Mazda by using the X-plan. The X-plan is basically employee pricing but the trick is that a Ford Employee must give you a Pin number to use at the dealership. My understanding is that Ford gives each its employees 8 pins and encourages them to give "friends and neighbors" the X-plan deal. For each successful referral, the ford employee gets a cash bonus from Ford (Win-Win situation!).
As is, the mazda3 is just within my price range with X-plan pricing (and a $500 gerber discount). Without it, I will have to settle for a honda civic (*grumble grumble*). I have asked a few ford employees so far, and many would give me a pin number if they hadn't given them all out to other
buyers already. I am still in need and will definitely buy the 3 within a day of getting the pin (it's sitting on the dealer lot waiting for me

).
If anyone knows any ford employees who have a spare X-plan pin, I would be eternally grateful for their help. PM me and I'll get back to you right away!
Thanks guys!
Dr. Jay
