I wanted stick shift with leather seats and a sunroof. that combo basically doesn't exist bc people who want the manual usually don't want the fancy leather and sunroof and vice versa, those who want the fancy stuff don't want to row their gears.

Turns out Ford had two nationwide with that set up- one in California, one in Nashville. Since I was in Kentucky, I went with the closer one in Tennessee.

I still negotiated like normal and played hardball. It was 9pm on New Year's Eve and they all wanted to get out and start partying. We got to within $250 and the manager flipped me a quarter for it. I won and got it at my price. They drove down on New Year's Day in a snowstorm and brought it up for me. Got it Jan 2 after they cleaned it up.
