With a unique NCGA partner code, members can access a special website that gives them a reduced price on dozens of Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda, and Volvo vehicles. Log in to www.fordpartner.com and members can: • See and research the full range of vehicles available (very few models are excluded) • Determine the special pricing available to members • Find factory rebates and other incentives in their area in addition to the special pricing • Look up area dealers and search dealer inventories or request quotes over the internet Once the member has selected a vehicle or found an area dealer to work with, they need to select a unique, member-specific PIN that will identify them as an NCGA member and deserving of the discount. The member will need the PIN to lock in the final, discounted purchase price. Once the member has logged in to www.fordpartner.com with our partner code—NCGA2—there is a link to the PIN page.

The Employee/Member pricing structure guarantees a lower product price on Dimension and Inspiron Computers when compared to the Home & Home Office portion of www.dell.com versus www.dell.com/eppbuy. Members and staff can log on to www.dell.com/eppbuy and enter the NCGA ID number PS48542965.
