X-Plan is 104% of A-Plan.
Pricing is a touch different on Jags, Range/Land-Rovers, Volvos..than Ford/Lincoln/Mercury products. Any FoMoCo product, except an Aston-Martin, is purchaseable under the A-Plan. However it is up to the dealer's discretion to do the deal or not.
Some cars, such as T-Birds, Jaguar XKRs, etc.. generally cant be bought under the A-Plan as it makes zero business sense to do so.
Holdback.. When I was with Jaguar it was 2%. There's also lots of other programs on them, but I'm not sure what it is now. I know the margins on them are a bit lower now, but I think they have more bonuses based on CSI and AOR (Area Of Responsibility.. Selling in your territory and not giving cars away to people outside your territory, Jaguar frowns upon that in a big way) Sort of a moot point though.. I spent 4 years selling Jaguars and only saw one EVER sell into Holdback. So, the chances of buying on into it I'd say are probably quite slim.
And that was a Demo 1997 XJ6 without traction (This was in NJ) in like mid-January 1998.
The $2,100 is a dealer incentive, NOT a rebate on X1 Equipped 3.0 X-Types.

Right now, a good deal on a base 2.5 is pretty close to MSRP.
An X1 3.0 can be had for about invoice (A la the 2100 trunk money).

That's 104% of A-Plan price. Technically it's for Ford Suppliers..etc..
But members of the Experimental Aircraft Association (www.eaa.org) are also eligible to a degree.
I know that eaa members (Last time I checked) are only eligible for Volvos and Jaguar S-Types. I'd imagine that you can become eligible for X-Types as well, but I dont think XK or XJs are available under eaa's program.

your dealer let you get the 2100 off in a x2 (sport package)

Jaguar does not have an X-Plan pricing program. Jaguar customers negotiate their
purchase price with the dealer and are eligible for a customer cash allowance
that varies by model. This customer cash allowance can be used to reduce the
purchase price of the vehicle or the customer can elect to receive this
allowance in the form of a check. All 2002 model year Jaguars are eligible for
the Jaguar Preferred Program.
The following cash allowance will be applied to your agreed upon vehicle price:
Eligible Vehicles 2002 MY Customer Cash Allowance
X-TYPE $500
S-TYPE $500
XJ8 / XJ Sport $1,000
Vanden Plas $1,500
Super V8 $1,500
XJR $1,500
XK8 / XKR $1,500

NYCA offered some very good advice, push Jag for a replacement car, or ask for a refund. Whether those opportunities are available to you in the States and whether you dealer will cooperate may be a different matter. Good Luck!
Has anyone else encountered this type of problem???
im only 20 miles from the NJ jaguar headquarters here in north jersey. the EX president used to live about 5 miles from me.
i hope they extend the 2100 deal, and the local dealers start giving it to A-plan customers.
i really want the 3.0 but i have a problem paying an extra 4 grand,. the 2100 would cut that in 1/2.
i plan to order a car in the next couple of weeks, since i want specific color, and options.
Bill
is paul a salesman???
But very nontypical. Nice guy, knows his stuff, straight shooter. Guy retired from being an executive for years.. Not the typical salesman.

Eyeballed something at Central FL AA today that's in the cyberlot. 3,911 miles, Platinum/Ivory.. 3.0.. Loaded..etc.. MSO car so available to you franchise boys.
Worth a look!

A-Plan pricing is fixed. If there's a regional advertising charge, its reflected in the A=Plan price.
Bill
it sounds like a copy of mine. the sticker on mine was 44120.00 I had to pay an additional 633.00 shipping from maryland to cleveland. My A plan price 37854.00 including the 633.00 shipping and 2100 dealer incentive. So the straight up A-plan price would have been 39321.00. The dealer showed me a price list of invoice and MSRP for the options, I think these numbers are available at kelly blue book.
The car is very sweet, with a great engine sound and a great stereo. The clutch is stiff, not like my old GSR, more like my brother's C5, but even that is a little easier. I've got 900+ miles and no glitches at all. There is a little buz from around the homelink plastic. The sport interior would look sharper if the speakers had the chrome bezel and there were wood inserts in the door like the standard, but overall a pretty impressive ride
i have the A-plan price from the APLAN web site, but over the phone the dealer gave me a number 300.00 higher. when i run your options against the web site, i can tie into the price you paid. my MSRP was 43,445 my car is the same as yours except i didn't get the xeons and automatic. so my price was 38,775 but the dealer gave me 39,175 then less the 2100 for a price of 36954.
i haven't seen the car yet, im going Monday to see it. its about 90 mins away, so im just going to purchase it at the out of state dealer. i am going to challenge the dealer about the 300.00 he says its a advertising charge, but thats soposed to be in the price already.
you talked about wood on the doors, you know you can get wood more wood that matches the original color?

www.woodtrim.com
there under 300.00
what kind of gas mileage have you been getting so far?
I'm getting around 20-22 mpg mostly highway with lots of 75-85 driving, I've also got the manual not auto
i will find out tommrow for sure when i see the dealer face to face.
im not sure they do alot of a-plan
there trying to charge me DOC fees, whis is a NO NO in A-Plan
i have donet a few A_plans with a ford, But never a Jag, with a ford the A-Plan price is right on the invoice for the car...... in a special box
im picking it up friday
adradic blue 3.0 sport, auto, x1,x2,x3, prem sound! sticker was 43,445
i got 6500 off list with a-plan and 2100 dealer cash.
car was just built, and arrived at dealer 3 weeks ago...
The $300 is legit in CT (Besides, messing with A-Plan #s is a HUGE HUGE HUGE no-no!)
Enjoy it!

"Sales of Jaguar's X-Type, dubbed the most important model in the luxury carmaker's history, are progressing more slowly than expected in its key American market. Industry figures reveal that sales in the region, which was expected to be responsible for a third of world demand, are behind target at the Ford-owned manufacturer. Sales in the US for the three months since launch until November stand at under 4,000 units, far below company projections."
Later the article says part of the problem is that too many of the cars built for the US have the 3.0 engine, which consumers are finding to be too expensive. More US customers want the cheaper models, with the 2.5 engine.
The managing director who oversaw the launch of the X-Type left the company suddenly, and Ford insiders suggest it was due to lackluster sales of the X-Type.
Ford is apparently considering "drastic measures" and cost-cutting (including new products) to ensure Jaguar remains profitable.
It is too early to dub the X-Type a flop. The car could ultimately succeed if new derivatives are offered (the article said this, not me).
