Dealers price according to what they perceive as market demand in their area. Here where I live, it is common for 2.0 EB's to be priced $7k and hybrids $10k above sticker. Others have noted the same. When I was shopping [I bought off the lot, not a special order] I used the Ford website and changed the zip code to see inventory in areas I was willing to travel to. Be aware that some vehicles displayed are customer orders that arrived so you must check with the dealer - I used the Internet Department - to determine if it is actually available for purchase. My wife and I travelled 90 miles to purchase my Mav for $1800 over sticker whereas local dealers were selling them for $7k over in Oct 2022. If you try it, be sure to verify an out the door price with all fees and charges in writing before you journey far and wide. After the back and forth over the Internet I called and made an appointment for the purchase. Don't do it a week or even a day out. Plan to get it asap after you talk to a person and get the name of whom you talk with. In December 2016 I flew to Arizona to save $12,000 off msrp on a GMC Canyon. In March 2020 at the start of the pandemic I drove 110 miles to save $27k on a Lexus at the start of the pandemic [it had 1700 miles on it so was certified pre-owned],I've been searching hard for another hybrid, and finally found one perfect for me. Everything I want but one thing.... no co-pilot 360 assist. It has a bedliner, lux and tunnel cover with reg 360 not the assist plus. with that being said. they are charging me $2500 over msrp. is it worth it?
