My brother-in-law works for Ford and can get us one of the new Discos (or any Land Rover for that matter) with his discount. Does anyone know what the cost is on a new Disco? I believe he gets 4% over cost. Is that the same as dealer invoice? TIA!

I believe the higher the cost, the better the deal if i recall correctly. It has been 4 years ago though, so don't quote me on this.   Alyssa Brown (Alyssa) Senior Member Username: Alyssa Post Number: 370 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Friday, December 19, 2003 - 12:17 am:    Mary, if you are X-Plan, you will pay base invoice + 4% of base invoice + $300 RAG fee (if appropriate in your area) + $645 shipping. RAG is the Retail Ad Group fee that is added to the price all dealerships in the "group" pay. If you are A-Plan, you pay invoice. Under A or X Plan, you will receive any available retailer incentives. You will generally have to pay for your floormats if you do A or X plan. You will also most likely have to choose from the lot. These are very low profit deals that are done as a courtesy to Ford employees, etc..., so having a dealer trade in which the dealer has to pay for transport is unlikely. They also will most likely not sell high demand special edition vehicles this way. Occasionally, A/X Plan customers will receive an extra $1000 off. Right now there is no such special, though. The last special expired 9/30/03.   Alyssa Brown (Alyssa) Senior Member Username: Alyssa Post Number: 371 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Friday, December 19, 2003 - 12:18 am:    Oh... and Mary, wait until January, as we have credible rumours that owner loyalty will be offered on 2004 Discovery starting 1/3/04. Then you will save another $2000.
