2017 Convenience Package @ MSRP?

[swedensky]

I posted an Msrp deal for a 17 (white/blue stripes) and an Msrp Raptor (LB) with no responses on correct threads (without starting new ones like this).

If you just search, do your own research, and look it's easier than you're making it sound.

Have you also considered putting a deposit down with a dealer willing to sign for an MSRP MY18 allocation? MY17 Convenience package cars are pretty uncommon as they ran out of the sofa seats early in the model year, but are back again for 2018.

If time isn't an issue, might be a better option as you can at least order it to spec then, even if colors don't overall matter, still nice to choose if you can.

It took me 5 minutes to find one advertised under sticker. I'm sure there's a bunch more.

Finding one advertised at MSRP on the web and actually buying it for MSRP are different. Many GT350 and GT350r's are listed on the web at MSRP. It's only after you call or visit that you find they want 10K over fora GT350.

I found a bunch listed under MSRP, I don't see that happening by accident.

Back in April when I was looking I called dealers that listed with ADM and was quickly able to get it removed. These aren't Rs we are talking about is it?

When I was looking every dealer site had the MSRP and not one was willing to sell for MSRP. Times have changed so maybe it's different but unless you call, do not go by what is on a dealers site. That is how they suck you in.

I surmise that if all GT350s were selling at MSRP without any dealer markup, you would be having a similarly difficult time finding one.

Does anyone know the easiest way to find a 2017 with convenience package at MSRP?

It is an exhausting process to search for these cars which are apparently very rare. It's so exhausting that I am nearly about to throw in the towel on my search and just keep my current car.

I was in the same position two months ago and could not find a convenience package 2017 anywhere in the entire Northeast. (They were discontinued by the time I started looking, It was indeed an exhausting search.) I needed to be able to drive to the dealer, because I was trading in my '16 Mustang GT PP as part of the deal, so my search radius was about 500 miles. And even dealers with the 2017 recaro GT350s wanted a mark-up of between $5K-$10K. Could be a regional thing, because I see other guys getting the '17s at sticker in some parts of the country.

I finally found a new 2016 tech GT350 with the same "convenience" options at well below sticker and in my color choice (magnetic). Couldn't be happier. (And yes, I know it doesn't have a trans cooler and I don't care. I never plan to track the car. I've had zero issues.)

If you're willing to buy slightly/gently used with low miles, you'd have a much better shot at finding a GT350 with the comfy seats and the other tech/convenience goodies. Or just order an '18 and wait.

Forget what price they're listing online. Locate the car you want and call the dealer. NOW IS THE TIME! By that I mean...end of the month. They all like to finish up the month strong. Tell them you'll buy the car for MSRP RIGHT NOW.

Worked for me.
Yes, you'll be told "no" by some, but like some other people already said...hit the small-towners. And you need to be serious (obviously). I thought "cash deal" would be appealing too, but they'd MUCH prefer you finance your purchase.

I was gonna pay in full, but it turned out my credit score wasn't looking so good. Not bad, just been awhile since I've had a legit loan. No credit can be as bad as bad credit.

So the finance guy at the Ford dealer I used hooked me up with an nice strategy. I signed up for, and was approved for Ford financing. The plan...once I make payments for a few months, I pay it all the way down to a few thousand with one big payment. After that Im just paying off the small amount/high interest on a small number. Doesn't amount to much unecessary interest paid, but my credit score still goes up. Dig?

This is also my experience. When the rubber hits the road there are very few dealers willing to sell at MSRP and I'm looking at a 500 mile radius from the heart of the country.

At this point I'm starting to consider the Recaro cars just because they are so much more common. Since these are a zero-price option it makes absolutely no sense why Ford can't offer heated and cooled sport seats like everyone else. Would be a dramatic improvement to their sourcing as well.

There is an abundance of these bad boys in Canada @ MSRP.... actually currently below MSRP.... with the dollar where it is at would make sense to get one from here no?

I have a bot that scrapes AutoTrader and emails me when a new one matches my custom query. Then it take everything it's seen and sorts them by price weighted by distance. It also shows me the window sticker if it's available.

I converted it to a more general purpose search for the masses once I've secured mine.

I use Kansas Zip code as a test to get the most results funny enough. I could do a quick scrape with some links for you to see if it is the right color and has the convenience pack.

EDIT: Here's what I found that matched (possibly):

No window sticker to check for the package, but all these were within 300 miles of KS
http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...archRadius=300&makeCode1=FORD&modelCode1=MUST

http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...archRadius=300&makeCode1=FORD&modelCode1=MUST

http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...archRadius=300&makeCode1=FORD&modelCode1=MUST

http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...archRadius=300&makeCode1=FORD&modelCode1=MUST


Now, these are the only ones I could see that had the Convenience pack:

Red/black, Listed for MSRP, has the right package, in Madison, NE

http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...archRadius=300&makeCode1=FORD&modelCode1=MUST

White/blue, Slight ADM, has the right pack, in Calremore OK

http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...archRadius=300&makeCode1=FORD&modelCode1=MUST

Almost same car, same asking price, but in Rantoul, IL

http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...archRadius=300&makeCode1=FORD&modelCode1=MUST


So there were only 3 in the ~300 mile radius I searched.

That makes them more rare and they could ask for the ADM. However, since they ran out of the sofa's a while ago, these might have been older allocations thus sitting on the lot longer. Might be more eager to move them.

Or, just find a local dealer that is willing to place an order for the MY18 for MSRP

Good luck!

Dang! Thank you! My keyword searches for "convenience" yielded terrible results. The 3 you included were right on the money. That NE car is extremely interesting.

1050 miles and a 5k off coupon...looks to have the seats you want
