I got my Premium off the lot. I went to every Ford dealership in NOVA, and in MD. I found two vehicles that I really wanted. Both were Premiums. I fell in love at the dealership, and closed that day. I was nervous that someone was going to swoop in and take it from me.
That was 12/20/21.
Got the tax break too, otherwise this year I would be paying thousands...
I picked it up the first full week in January. I was nervous the whole time that somehow the car wouldn't be mine. And I gave them a check - which they promptly cashed - for $45k as a down payment.
The closest dealership to me has Selects in stock. Only one or two, though. I go by every week, and the one or two that are there are different, but they are always Selects...
