Generally speaking, the only dealers who will appreciate the options and price your car appropriately is a Ford dealer. Even then, they are out to maximize their profits and of course they're going to start low.
Some options are worth money in the secondary market, and some are not.
Don't forget that this is a seller's market, and dealers generally have very little inventory and will try to maximize every sale. Three years ago it was more about volume, and they could take a loss on a sale to bump up their numbers and get an extra GT500. Now, they only have a couple of F150 work trucks to sell. If you want a Porsche or something cool like that, forget about it, there is no stock.
It's a different world.
Me, recently, I've sold my cars to Carvana or wholesale dealers. They pay surprisingly well these days, and there is no hassle like selling to an individual usually is. I also don't buy used because as someone mentioned earlier, why spend $50K on a used Mustang when I can buy a new one for $48K? Sure, I have to travel, and it takes time to find one at a dealer willing to work for a sale, but it can be done.
Good luck. It ain't easy.
