I ordered my 2018 from my small hometown (growing up) dealer at MSRP - they had not used their 1 allocation yet, and were able to replace their planned spec with my order. As I live 1hr north of Boston, dealers around here ask 5-10K over.
I actually found one speced exactly the way I wanted - Ingot/802A/tailgate delete (very hard to find) - at Mike Bass Ford in Ohio. They have a large allocation and sell at MSRP, but then of course you have to pay to ship it - and their sales manager will definitely NOT sell to CA emissions states or to "border states" (for no good reason other than ignorance, hence my order)
As the Ford site only lets you search for vehicles within a 100mi radius, I used this tool Draw radius circles on a map for drawing the radius, then I would lookup the next zip code over and restart the search. If you are looking for a specific package, that will help you find it, then visit the dealer site to see what their ask is. No need to pay a 5K premium when you could pay $500 to uship.
Called Klaben ford this morning about the 18 white screw for $5000 off but it was sold last night. Damn it
So he sold me the other 18 white screw they had on the lot for $5000 off of sticker!!! Could not believe it!! Just secured the loan with USAA, and sent the info over to them. So far this dealer is great to work with. MSRP sticker was $73,790. Got it for $68,790. Loaded!! So excited!!!!! Picking it up next Saturday! Just a little 6 hr ride.
