Inventory search options

[dbozman]

I tried using the inventory search function on ford.com and found it is limited to a 100-mile radius. I’m in Phoenix but willing to travel for an EB at MSRP. Is there another regional or national search option? Thanks.

You can edit the actual web address in the address bar to whatever mile radius you want. Do 100 and look for the 100 in the web address. Change it to 25 or 50 or 75 or whatever to see it change. That way you know what to manually change to 500 or 1000 or whatever value you want.

This seems to be dependent on the base zip code used. When I enter mine (60185), once I enter a value greater than 100, the results never change.

Same. I changed the distance from 100 to 250 using by base ZIP. No change.

Boooooooooooooooo. It used to work. They must have "fixed" it. It seems to do the same to me now that I tried it tonight. We used to be able to.....

@dbozman , I guess you get to look up the zip codes of cities that are outside that 100 mile range so you can expand the search bit by bit.

RE: Search inventory beyond 100 miles - can you change your base ZIP code? Otherwise, what I have done when I was willing to travel for a new car was to make a list of dealers in various areas like "Ford dealers San Francisco area", write the names down and go to the website of each. I used the "Internet Sales Dept" link and did back and forth offers. Once I found a deal I wanted, I asked them to send me an itemized list of all the charges associated with the purchase and the name of the sales person to ask for. I printed it out and had it in hand when I arrived to finalize the deal at Fritz Ford, Riverside CA. Tedious I know but worth it. On my previous truck, a 2016 GMC Canyon, I went to Arizona because there was a $7000 dealer discount plus a $2k GMC discount that was not offered in California. Airfare for two was $300 one way and $50 gas to drive it back to the San Diego area. Sold the GMC privately in 10/2022 for $250 more than I paid including T&L. Almost free transportation for 6 years and 30k miles. I travelled 90 miles for my '22 Mav and paid $1800 above MSRP which was good considering local dealers marked them up $5k and $9k for hybrids.
