!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Yes, a town of 1000 people in rural Saskatchewan has a Focus RS for sale, and for $4k off at that. I remain unimpressed with the Focus RS hype.

It isn’t limited production or anything. Ford is happy to make as many as they can sell. The issue is that a lot of dealers dont want to sell them for under 10k over MSRP. The dealer wanted one for inventory, so they got one from Ford. The hype is because it is a really good car, not because it is supposed to be rare.

Fair point. Still, selling it in literally the middle of nowhere with a good amount off was kind of amusing to me, when a lot of Oppos are going “wow, trying to find one under MSRP is impossible”.

That’s their trick. Get a car that most dealers won’t let go for MSRP, offer it for less than MSRP, get people through the door of your tiny dealer, make a little less than you could have selling the RS, and hope you did a good enough job to get them to come back to buy again.

Good idea, gets people through the door and the lucky slob who buys it will have the only one in town.
But 46 grand? Ouch...
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

I drove trough Hayward Wi, a town of maybe 8,000 and the Dodge dealer had a Hellcat Challenger. Sitting out side next to an R/T too. Not in the showroom with some Ram 1500 Lairame Lonestar Limited Outdoorsman Sport Longhorn Power Wagon Rebel.

See, if they were going for that much under, they’d have a chance of selling one to me. Instead, in my region, we’ve gone well over a year with the dealers asking for $5k-20k over MSRP. One dealer has like 20 of them on the lot and still wants ridiculous markup on them.

I don’t think I can import that one to the US.
