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 used Autotrader, alternating searches by distance, then by price low to high the whole country, then look at the pictures to see the seats, then confirmed with the window sticker,

When I looked I was finding all the non recaros when I wanted recaros. Came on here and heard that the recaros were supposedly more common.

Wasn't that hard to find a MSRP deal.

is it so difficult that it might be worth it to pay a little extra?
Bingo! and this is the reason for ADM's. Sorry..... you want a good deal on a 350, you have to do the leg work.

LOL, I understand this, but I have owned many nice, hard-to-find cars over the years and have NEVER had such a difficult time as I have shopping for this GT350.

I am extremely flexible on colors, extremely flexible on location, all I want is MSRP and ventilated seats. I've contacted so many dealers at this point that I am getting voicemails and text messages constantly, every day, for the past 2 weeks.

-car is no longer in stock
-price on website was wrong
-car is already sold
-stock number doesn't match photos on website
-Car is actually not new, has been previously titled

I'm not making this up. I've spent more time shopping for this car than I did my last house.

Don't take this wrong, but welcome to everyone else's world.

If you are willing to pay a large convenience fee (ADM), then you could have one tomorrow.

If not, then better settle in for a long, long search like the rest of us had.

Best of luck in your search.

Just realized what package you want. When I was shopping, that wasn't even an option for the 17...i was scared to death of hating the Recaro because my test drive was kinda tight, and I was coming from a 16GTPP premium with the nut coolers and loved em.

All I can say now is I ❤ Recaro seats and will never go back to the others.

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

For some reason the bottom half of my body is not unlike a linebacker. It's a tight fit, but still comfortable. Did a ~10hr round trip in the Recaro's and it wasn't a problem at all.

When shopping for 17 conv that was the most common car in stock, but then they ran out of seats. So its been many months so you need to look in small towns. Feed the ford.com locator different zips for how far away you will go.
