Hi Y'all,
My name is Note and I am trying to acquire a 2017 Ford Transit Connect Wagon LWB Titanium in RACER RED! I know this is somewhat of a ludicrous color, but I feel that if I'm going to be buying a new car for work and play, I should get exactly what I want? This is what I am interested in ordering;
2017 Ford Transit Connect Wagon LWB Titanium w/ Rear Liftgate in RACER RED
- Daytime Running Lamps
- Front and Rear Splash Guards
- Panoramic Fixed-Glass Vista Roof
- Roof Rack with Cross Bars
- Trailer Tow Package
- All-Weather Floor Mats - Front & Rear
- Key Fobs
- Upfitter Wiring Harness
- Keyless Entry Keypad
- Side-Window Deflectors
- Front & Rear Parking Sensors
Obviously, I am pretty confident that this particular configuration will NOT be available in the United States, but even if it is, chances are slim to none. I've made my rounds to different dealerships and have had salesmen laugh at me or even thought I was crazy or not serious about buying a Transit because of what I was looking for. I'm tired of being jerked around and even though there are some decent dealerships that are honest with me and haven't tried to bait and switch me, they are quoting up to 6months for the build time. I know that it may come in as soon as 3 months, but having to keep in mind that it may take up to 6 is a little disheartening.
The main reason I am choosing the 2017 Titanium is due in part to the presence of SYNC 3 which utilizes Android Auto & Apple Car Play! If any of you haven't had a chance to try out the (2), I seriously urge you to try it out ASAP! Whether it be on an aftermarket head unit or any of the new Ford or Volkswagen models - it is very powerful and makes any vehicle feel superfluously modernized and technologically integrated! Being that I travel a lot and have to deal with working on the road, being able to utilize Google Assistant and Siri makes a world of a difference in utilizing my time and not having to worry about pulling over to use my phone/head unit and BEING HANDS FREE!!!
My main dilemma is the wait period - if I do end up waiting 6mo, will Ford announce the 2018 Transit Wagon Connect LWB will be available with the 1.5L Ecoboost? That would certainly be a deal breaker for me, seriously! Does anyone have any insider information in regards to this?
Also, there are a few dealerships within 100miles of me (91745) that has a Magnetic Gray Transit in a similar configuration and are willing to "make me a deal" on them. I am currently at $1k deposit to order my custom Racer Red Transit at $100 above dealer invoice.
SHOULD I SETTLE FOR A MAGNETIC GRAY AND PICK ONE UP ASAP OR SHOULD I ORDER AND WAIT FOR MY RACER RED?
