Finally found one I wanted

[Wildcat2xx5]

I finally found one that I wanted. It took a little bit longer than I had anticipated.

 

Here were the specs to my absolute perfect car:

 

Sterling gray exterior

Moonroof

My Ford Touch

Remote Start

 

This is what I settled on:

 

Ice Storm

Moonroof

My Ford Touch

 

Ice storm was second on my color choices and first on my wife's. And now that it is finally (even after 2 in of snow last night) warming up, i think I can live without remote start until maybe when the sun start baking my car while I am out playing rounds of golf. I have faith that getting remote start installed by the dealer shouldn't be an issue.

 

Biggest hurdle was options, remote start isn't a popular option (only on a handful of cars I searched), and I really didn't want Navigation and Rear Sensing system. My iphone is easier to navigate with, and why do i need a rear sensing system when i have a back up camera. In any case, I wasn't thrilled about spending an extra $1000 on options I didn't want. And I didn't want to order a car, seeing as from reading the forum it is taking longer and longer to get cars out recently. Unfortunately for me that meant there was only 1 car within 300 miles of me that had the options (minus remote start) that I wanted, and it only loses a few points for being a different color.

 

I pick it up on Thursday. Pretty excited.

My story is very similar to yours. I managed to find my perfect car (Bordeaux Reserve, Luxury package with Dune interior, My Ford Touch) and no additional options that I didn't particularly want. Remote start is also something I'll have to add on later. No big deal. My local dealer helped me find it about 270 miles away, went and picked it up on a dealer trade, and I had it 2 days later! Since then, I've been so pleased with it! Let us know how you like it!

Eggsellent! TThe car should have the remote down/up feature, so you can vent the car before you get in, Helps a lot in hot weather, so you may find you wont need remote start after all. Press and hold the unlock button on the remote and all 4 windows go down, and the sunroof vents. Cools the car down quickly.

That would work really well, hopefully my salesman goes over all these cool features.

My salesman had no idea about that feature, actually. I informed him when he called me this week to check on how everything was going, just to help him out.

Update** I can't get the car until Saturday now :doh:. Since the driver isn't going until Thursday to pick i up, they said they have to get it back, inspect(gotta love PA and their monopolistic enterprises), and do their thing. Then Friday doesn't work for me, so I have to wait until Saturday. I think i can still stop by on the way to bowlingThursday and take a peek at the car.
