Welcome to the forum! Congrats!

Were you able to find a model to buy that was being offered at MSRP, or did you end up paying a premium on top?

I ordered the Nitrous blue, with RS2, with 19" Alloy Michelin Summer tires, and the 18" Silver flake snow tires" I will pay MSRP, $42200, it is in the order Q, and should have the build date in 3 weeks according to the Fleet manager.

Did you at least have the chance to see a Nitrous Blue RS in person along with any other color before ordering?

Any idea what allocation is like at your dealer?

I have only seen pictures of the nitrous blue which I know won't be accurate. The dealer had a dealer order book with a chip, but I ordered the blue because I didn't want any of the other colors. I didn't ask how many the dealer had allocated. I just knew that they were able to order the car, so they had at the least one. I just happen to have stepped into the dealer and asked about the MSRP. I like others had real difficulties finding a dealer who was willing to sell at MSRP. I had 2 in NM who were willing, but neither had an allocation. They were small dealers. The 2 in NM who had allocations wanted a $5k or $10k addendum. I had to go to another state get it at MSRP. When they said they were willing to sell at MSRP and had an allocation, I stopped asking questions, and put my money down. It seems like an unlikely dealer to sell at MSRP, since they are in a very affluent neighborhood. I know they are a large volume dealer, but they specialize in the luxury models, especially Mercury, not fords performance cars. They gave me a copy of the order confimation showing the addition of the car to the order bank for them, and should have a build date allocated in the next 3 weeks.

I think them doing that also has to do with developing a relationship with customers which ends up benefiting them and the customer a lot. Willing to bet someone is more likely to go to a dealer that gave them a good experience from the start rather than one trying to get the most from the first interaction.
