Default View the A/Z, X, MSRP Pricing on inventory.ford.com
New to the forum so I thought I would contribute my "hack" to find out what the dealer is in for each vehicle. For some reason the Ford website people thought it would be fine to send all three price levels to your browser and use a styling rule to determine which price is displayed. This is not a good idea if you truly want to keep it out of the public domain.





Add the following bookmarklet into your URL bar and hit enter. For some reason I had to enter the "javascript:" part at the beginning manually as it wouldn't copy/paste into the URL.

Code:
javascript:(function()%7Bvar%20x%20%3D%20document.getElementsByClassName(%22hidePrice%22)%3Bfor%20(i%20%3D%200%3B%20i%20%3C%20x.length%3B%20i%2B%2B)x%5Bi%5D.style.display%20%3D%20%22block%22%7D)()
It's pretty simple, just takes the hidePrice class and displays it using javascript. The unencoded version:
Code:
javascript:(function(){var x =  document.getElementsByClassName("hidePrice");for (i = 0; i <  x.length; i++)x[i].style.display = "block"})()
The page will update to display all three price levels with A/Z Plan being the first, X Plan in the middle, and MSRP last:


It also works on the "View Vehicle Details" page:



Some XL's have the same price for all three levels so only one will display. I've tested it in IE11 and the newest Chrome and Firefox releases but can't make any guarantees across every device/browser.

Hope somebody can use this as a tool to protect them against any dishonest dealers out there.

I just got my X-Plan pin, so this saves me a trip to the dealer. I'm interested in the KR or Platinum.

What I really need is an in to the A/Z plan, LOL. X-Plan looks like about 8% off window sticker.

Thank you.

It does work for Canada but since they have employee pricing going on up there, its all one price. All three price levels in canada are displayed in the same HTML element:
HTML Code:
<div class="displayPrice MSRPPrice XPlanPrice AZPlanPrice"><span>31,800</span></div>
Once the employee pricing ends, you should see the three different elements again.

cool as heck.
If I'm reading it right, it looks like x plan is the same as the standard net pricing.
:shakes head:


tyvm for the heads up

So, how does this relate to dealer cost? Can the A/Z plan pricing be used as a basis for what a good price to negotiate for would be (plus rebates)?
