It really depends on the individual dealer. When I was shopping in 2016, there were two local dealers that had a new FoST in stock, same exact package and color. One dealer had the thing set up inside the showroom with a fucking velvet rope around it and refused to talk any kind of deal on it. The other just threw me…

While I know this isn’t even remotely unique to Ford, I’ll never forget cross-shopping a Focus RS in late 2018. Dealerships had cars which had been on the lot for six months that still had markup on them. One actually had a 2017 on the lot, in August of 2018, with a $5000 markup.
