aneekr Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Now, where would one get an X plan pin and do I need to give the VIN? If you're a shareholder in Ford common stock, you can request an X-Plan PIN by completing the attached form.

akirby Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Anyone know if there is a minimum stock ownership threshold for this? Yep. 1 share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsonlu Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Yep. 1 share. OK, maybe time for me to buy 100 shares... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtenthusiast Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Mine's been built for 2 weeks but no invoice yet, so it's still sitting on hold. Any luck on yours yet? It's been over 2 weeks since mine was built but it still has not shipped. Typical for a new model (quality control and such) but frustrating for us. My ETA is now TBD.

blk05stang Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Is there any way to "give" your X-Plan PIN number to someone else? I ask this because I'm a shareholder in Ford, but my girlfriend wants to buy a 2010 Fusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask this because I'm a shareholder in Ford, but my girlfriend wants to buy a 2010 Fusion. Just have her buy a few shares of Ford stock...it's cheap enough. Or, there are employees on here who would get her a PIN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure to watch American Idol tonight, they'll certainly be showing the 2010 Fusion ads. Great idea- advertise a car that isn't in the showroom yet.

We got the showroom brochures for the car the other day, I made the comment about it's getting old just looking at pretty pictures of the car. It's time to drive one!

We got the showroom brochures for the car the other day, I made the comment about it's getting old just looking at pretty pictures of the car. It's time to drive one! At least you have the consolation that your car has been built . Those of us who've ordered the hybrid model have even less information to go by, just wide-ranging estimates (once approved) that it will be built sometime between April and October. I agree that it seems a little odd to be running ads on TV when the car is nowhere near showrooms. For the hybrid, it seems like Ford wants to queue up as many orders as it possibly can to make sure it sells every FFH that it manufactures. I suppose this creates the illusion that the vehicle is in really high demand, since there won't be many unsold units floating around in dealers lots. The only problem IMO is the lack of production/delivery info for those of us who already ordered. All this lack of info does is give customers more opportunity to check out the competition and potentially back-out of an order. Give me a good estimate (at least down to the build month) and I will be fine, but the uncertainty is really killing my enthusiasm. Maybe by the end of March, once the FFH retail order scheduling program ends, I will finally discover when mine will be built. I just hope that ordering in January means it gets built in April, and not October! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ackbar Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 2010 Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan Hybrids are now shipping to dealers, according to AutoblogGreen: http://www.autobloggreen.com/2009/03/15/20...-max-tax-credi/ I assume the same holds true for the ICE Fusions/Milans. Hopefully that means we'll get a chance for a test drive soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ackbar Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Also, according to my dealer, my FFH order has a VIN and is now scheduled for production in late April. It should arrive at the dealer sometime in May.

ackbar Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 I ordered around the same time -- guess this means no $3,400 credit... Based on date of possession, they will at least qualify for the $1,700 tax credit until Sept. 30. I'm still holding out hope that the IRS will accept the order date for the credit to get the full $3400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the consensus - as long as you have a signed order before 4/1 and you take delivery of that vehicle you should get the full credit.

I live in Houston, which I read is one of the high-allocation "hot spots" for the hybrid models. I bet you'll hear something soon since you placed your order so early. Check with your dealer each Friday until you find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dealer emailed me today with my vin number and advised that my Milan Hybrid is scheduled for the Week of April 6. I ordered on 2-16-09. I'm in Cleveland.

nelsonlu Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I talked to my salesperson today. He said that the car has been built and is waiting to be shipped, and that it will take 19 days to arrive after being shipped. He's guessing early April. Again, unfortunately, probably no $3,400 tax credit (based on my accountant's interpretation, and I think to be on the safe side I'd have to agree with her), but $1,700 is still $1,700 more than what you'd get with a Toyota Camry Hybrid.
