Shelby locator search tool

[AgentOrange]

I noticed on Ford's website when you search inventory Ford's site only lets you search 100 miles away. https://shop.ford.com/showroom/?gnav=footer-shop&linktype=inventory#/

I am familiar with http://www.mystang.life/ which I keep finding expired listings on.

Is there a better way to search new inventory nationally for Ford dealers? Obviously, besides AutoTrader etc. Looking to see if there is a way to search inventory much like salespeople at Ford dealerships can search nationally for inventory at other Ford dealerships.

Appreciate any insight. Thank you.

Buddy up w a salesperson at your favorite dealership....
Kinda tedious but can you enter different zip codes in the Ford site?
PM me if you're in the market for an OF with white stripes.

Hey Tank, The issue is here in the San Francisco Bay Area it doesn't really help to buddy up with a salesperson. The reason for this is the moment you find a GT350 you want, the dealership will buy it, ship it to their dealership, and add $20K ADM to it. All the dealerships around here are buying from other dealers out of state that are having a hard time selling their GT350s and then adding $20K ADM. Just look at Frontier Ford (Santa Clara), which does this with GT350s and Raptors. Really screwed here in the Bay Area. I wish Ford would do something about this and change their contracts with dealerships so they can only sell for MSRP or below. It's having an impact on the brand as not only myself didn't buy a new Ford truck and instead went with a different brand, but many of my friends are feeling burnt by the ADM from local Ford dealers and are not buying Ford products anymore. Like I said, horrible location to be in and want a Shelby/Raptor. Dealers around here are shady....

I live in Northern NH less than a mile from the dealership where I got my '16 AG. Back in 2015, I got it for MSRP -unheard of back then for any model GT350. They've been sitting on an Orange Fury w White stripes for over a month now...I was thinking with your forum name AND if you were a bit more local, you might be interested. BTW, they also had a Raptor for a couple of weeks but for me it doesn't stick out like the OF GT350..

Man, I feel for you guys in markets like you described. It's ridiculous IMHO. I like the folks I deal with .

Hey, I got an idea, buy the one down the street from me, I'll drive it west to wherever you want to meet up for airfare home!! You'll have it broken in in no time...

I am currently trying to buy a GT350 and a Raptor. So it's double the headache with this shady ADM game. I have friends that work at Ford dealerships in management roles and they can't even get their Ford GM to do a MSRP deal for me. Ford really needs to fix this.

I highly recommend going out to the midwest and giving those dealers your hard earned money. They'll treat you better and they deserve it more anyways. Bought my Raptor from D Patrick Ford in Indiana and had it shipped to Seattle when I lived up north.

When it came in, I drove it to my local dealership and showed them, said some choice words, and then laughed as I drove away looking at the 6 Raptors they had sitting on the lot wasting away.

@honeybadger, That's my plan! Including driving to the dealership after with some choice words as well. I just started a thread that is about Ford dealerships that don't charge ADM. Will you please post D Patrick Ford in there, please? https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/list-of-ford-dealerships-that-dont-charge-adm.107613/

Also, @honeybadger did you get your Raptor for MSRP?

I did. Didn't even have to haggle. They sell all their performance vehicles at MSRP.

@Tank, Does the dealer you mention in NH charge ADM? If not, what is the same of the dealership? Actually, will you please post the name here if they're a known dealership that doesn't charge ADM? https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/list-of-ford-dealerships-that-dont-charge-adm.107613/ Thank you!

autolist is fairly accurate, and you can sort by time on market to ferret out dealers that may be willing to bargain for cars that have been lot-sitters. End-of-month is the best time to reach out. The only accurate resource that I know of available to retail shoppers is the shop ford website. For example, I found a GT350R that technically was for sale on shop ford, but it was not listed on any other site. It turns out this car is at the Shelby museum in Boulder, CO. and is being raffled off in the fall.
If you are willing to travel and/or have your car shipped, you should have no problem finding a non-R for well under sticker. Click on the link below to review the cheapest new 2017-18 GT350's.

Good call. Being able to sort by "Time on Market" is a nice feature.
