Ford does not offer any Plan purchases on the Focus Electric. I payed the same as you guys did even though I'm the new car manager at a Ford store. Ford ususally does this on extreme high demand or low production models. The Ford Raptor, Mustang GT500, Boss 302 also have fallen under these guidelines.
a = Current Ford Employee - best discount (under invoice)
z = Retired Ford Employee - best discount (under invoice)
x = Supplier Employee or Friend of Ford employee - good discount (right around invoice, but no need for negotiation)
d = Ford Dealer Employee - better discount ($100 over a/z plan)
