The New Vehicle Purchase Plan for Corporate Employees (A Plan & Z Plan) offers the best savings available on a new Ford Motor Company vehicle to employees, retirees and their immediate family members. A Plan is the active employee purchase program and Z Plan is the retiree purchase program. The two plans offer the same prices and terms and they are the best deal available on a new Ford or Lincoln. Participating Ford and Lincoln dealers are not permitted to alter the terms or offer a better deal than A Plan or Z plan.
Through the A Plan and Z Plan, Ford Motor Company employees and retirees are allocated four personal identification numbers (PINs) per year that they may use or give to immediate family members to purchase a new Ford or Lincoln vehicle at a deep discount.
