How to Locate a Ford Flex
- 1). Make a list of all of the features and specifications that are important for you to have with your Flex. First and foremost, decide whether you want a new or used Flex. Write out your preferences on sound system, color, window tinting and any additional options.
- 2). Point your web browser to Ford's "Build and Price." Build and price your dream Flex online, or search Ford's online inventory to see if a Ford dealer in your region has the one that you want.
- 3). Call your local Ford dealership. Car dealers often buy vehicles in large volume, which usually results in savings. This is especially true if you're looking for a new Flex, or if it's the end of a "model year"--usually in the late summer or early fall--and the dealer is trying to rid himself of the brand new (but still previous season's) stock. If the dealer doesn't have a Flex to meet the needs you've specified, he may be able to have one custom-built for you.
- 4). Visit used car lots in your area. While your Ford dealer will likely have at least a small selection of used Flex vehicles, you might be able to find a better deal at the used car lot--although you will undoubtedly encounter a smaller selection.
- 5). Peruse local classifieds and classifieds websites such as Craigslist for any private sellers who are selling the Ford Flex. As the Ford Flex is a current vehicle with new models still being made as of November 2010, private sellers will have to sell at prices lower than dealers and even used car lots if they want to be successful. Again, your chances of finding your ideal Flex from among this pool is not high, but if you do--or are able to compromise--you may reap cost benefits.
