[QUOTE="mikengail, post: 15939478, member: 143239"] I'm not sure there is such a thing as what dealers normally do. They're all different. Yeah, special orders. It's probably just a customer order that the customer didn't buy and now the dealer is stuck with it. At some point, it's just going to be too expensive to keep at $51k. Then they'll lower the advertised price. When that will happen is anyone's guess. You could make him a counter offer at whatever one of the new car search websites considers a "great" deal. All he can do is say no. They won't shave your head and send you to Marine Boot Camp. I think that it helps for a dealer to know that you have the cash or the financing already done. That can increase their motivation to work with you. When they get serious, many of them will try to beat your own financing terms with Ford Credit or some other in house financing source.
