You can put this is a "Duh!" post, but just to be overly safe, the indicates I was kidding. I chose 80 for the very reason that it would mean that nearly all of them would be here.

 

the ford dealer where i bought mine has 15 to 20 on the lot

 

You're right -- actual Ford employees (not talking about the current "employee pricing" promotion that they're doing for the general public) could get A plan on the FEH back in '05. I had forgotten that.

I factory ordered my '05 FEH back in summer of '04. At that time the dealer (and Ford) was unsure as to whether it would qualify for the discount plans. Ford went back and forth on this decision - so I was getting mixed information for a while. Then the dust settled: no X plan. =(

Anyway... they're still fairly easy to find here (that was the original point of the thread), and as far as I know the local dealers will actually work with you on the price instead of insisting on window-sticker pricing or higher.
