How Much of a Discount is Ford Employee Pricing?

So, what does Ford employee pricing look like exactly? To clarify, eligible active and retired Ford employees, as well as their families, may buy or lease up to two Ford vehicles each calendar year via the AXZ plan. However, the vehicles must be registered in the name of the family member, the employee, or the name of the company owned by the employee or their eligible family member. The AXZ plan price for a vehicle is the dealer invoice minus 0.4%, plus an administration fee of $275.
