Thanks for the info on the Costco order. Yes I'm getting a wagon, not a van. I did see a list of features before the order, so I know it's correct. I just wanted something to 'mark my place in line'. When ordering non-car items, I find it's always better to refer to an order/customer number rather than having to search by name. When researching options, I noticed there was some discussion on the quick clear feature. There seemed to be two issues. Old vs new installations. The implementations of the 70's and 80's would turn a funny color as they aged. Since the 90's they seemed to have fixed the problem. The other issue is what mrtn mentions "I can just scrape my windshield". After seeing the videos on youtube, I was sold, especially because our cars live outside. Strangely, the rear defroster is a requirement. The only valid criticism I've seen was replacement cost. The backup camera is on the order, but I forgot to mention it. My wife simply didn't want the other options. What you are describing is called a 'retrogrouch' at least in the cycling world. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Retrogrouch thanks again for the info. Jack

I put in an order with my local dealer. I'm having a hard time getting information from him about the order. I expect that there should be some kind of number attached to the order, but the salesman says there's nothing. When you have ordered in the past, what did you get from the dealer? thanks, Jack For the curious, here are my features: Metallic LWB XLT Split rear doors Quick clear dual zone temp control roof rack w/rails tow package

The VIN trick is just what I need. There are lots of features that don't get listed in the descriptions. The best would be if the window sticker pdfs were fully searchable, but that may be too much to ask. thanks again guys.

Thanks for the info Slonie I'm trying to figure out which dealer to go to. After some preliminary searching though, I may need to go there to make an order anyway. Ugh

Hi, I'm looking for a Transit Connect Wagon and I want to search the inventory. When I go to that portion of the site, I don't have the options I want to select (barn doors, roof rack etc.). The Build & Price section has all of the options, but when I get to step 5 ("Next Steps") and click search inventory, the search results don't match up to my criteria. Is there any way I can search to find out if the model with my requirements exists or do I have to go to the dealer to have them do these kind of searches? thanks, Jack
