Call Ford and see if they will make the trade for your ordered one.

It would have to be a dealer to dealer trade. But considering the cost of getting shipped it's probably not worth it.

I was told this would be the case (A run of Dealer cars first then Customer orders) in March of this year when I placed my order (and was offered a chance to swap with dealers ordered stock car) so it must be a dealer thing that yours didn't know or tell you upfront. Weird!!! If I recall it was to get the "BUGS" out of the line before they made Customer ordered cars.. or something like that lol

Mine was a pre order. My dealer knew nothing about the ST Fiestas, so for a small town Ford dealer to pull one of these suckers in created all sorts of interest :)
At the end of the day, 17kms on the clock and a turbo charged butt kick was worth the wait :)

He's talking about his area where they are not offering any discounts but instead tacking on a dealer surcharge above MSRP lol.

The dealership I went to had the exact color, model, and options (NAV and moonroof) that I was looking for. Right off the showroom floor, 12 miles.

I went to dealer to order a white fiesta with smoke grey Recaros. I left with Molten Orange,Orange Recaros,Nav,and sunroof. The dealer was more willing to wheel and deal with the stock they had on the lot.
