end of 2019/beginning of 2020 R were *advertised* as 7000 off. So MSRP is a lousy deal. But unfortunately timing, like location is key and that ship is likely long sailed.

I’ve been calling around for the last few weeks. I’ve yet to come across an antsy dealer on a 20r. The Heritage is a whole other deal as well. Considering how large the floor plans on most the dealers that have these cars, the unit or two they may have is hardly a burden. Cold or not, I don’t think we’ll start to see the R’s come down at all until possibly spring. But like a few have said it doesn’t hurt to try.

You find a 2020 R at $7k off and pass on it let me know... I’ll buy a second one....

... until in run it by my wife and I get ā€œthe lookā€ and that will be the end of that.

Since I posted earlier today, a good friend connected me with his good friend that is the GM at a dealership in the Southwest region. They are asking $5k for their 2020R that just showed up this week, but he floated $1k over to see if that’s in my comfort zone. I don’t need the car, but would like it. If the community thinks MSRP is reasonable at this point, I might see if they’d make it happen.

Also, anyone getting an R recently finding any wheel protection plan? Im hoping to track the car 4-6 times a year, I live in AZ where roads aren’t terrible. Just curious what everyone with an R does about these wheels.

Thanks!

On the first point... I hate the idea of ADM but I’m not one to let a grand stand in then way of owning a car I really want.

Wheel protection.... I’d gladly buy if you find a company offering it but I tried to buy it at time of sale and the ford program specifically excludes the carbon fiber wheels.

Mind sharing what R your referring to? I’m trying to work a deal on another currently. You can pm me if you’d prefer.

I run mine on the street. It seems a lot of R owner buy a set of rims for the street, either R knock offs or buy a set of rims from Terrance. Some prefer to us the CF Rims strictly for track days or for special events, or not at all. Not me, I run my stock CF rims, but it is not a daily. I would say if yours is not a daily and your roads are decent, don't worry about it and run them. I suppose theft could play a factor as well, but I am not really worried about that either. Personally I say run them.

Avoid those curbs when parking! I have a regular 350 and am always OCD about not rubbing the rims... wish they had those fancy perimeter parking cameras...

Always do. Knock on wood, out of all the vehicles I have owned I dont recall ever having curbed any of them.

This one has been at the dealership since I think mid to late October. He was at $45k ADM... Price Drop! Now $20k ADM.
