Dealer Inventory Search Question

[jefffrot]

If a dealer tells you they will search other dealers before ordering a car, are they obligated in any way to search a certain distance or certain number of dealers? The reason I am asking is that a local dealer said they did a dealer search but came back and told me they couldn't find anything. My search parameters where pretty generic (gave the dealer multiple color options and only included a few vehicle options other then the base 400A package) so I am wondering if maybe they didn't try searching very far? I am just debating whether it would be a good idea to go to another dealer and have them perform a search to see if they come up with the same results?

Also, why were are talking about searches, is there any other tools a person can use to search the dealer inventory besides the Ford website?

I'd supplement their search with my own search. They not only have to find something, the dealer that has the vehicle has to be willing to give it up.

My dealer found exactly the car I wanted. I live south east of Boston and the car they located was in up state NY, about 320 miles away.
