On Saturday I used the Ford web site to request internet quotes from several local dealers. Within a few hours I had received calls from 4 of them. Part of one call seemed a little odd. Here is an approximation of part of that call.

--------------
Sales: ... so if we don't have what you want in stock, we can get it within a few days.

Me: Really?

Sales: Yes.

Me: So that must be from another dealer? Because I doubt you could get one from Mexico in a few days.

Sales: ...l o n g p a u s e... No, we couldn't get one from Mexico in a few days.

Me: So you could get one from another dealer?

Sales: From another dealer or from central stock.

---------------------

So I'm sure you will all be glad to know that there is a central warehouse full of Fiestas just waiting to be ordered by dealers to fill customer requests.

I'm thinking somewhere in kansas.

I'm from Kansas... and nope, no Fiesta mega warehouse!

I would call back and call their bluff...

I'm from Kansas... and nope, no Fiesta mega warehouse!

Call em back and press them for details....this, should be really good!

The internet sales locations thing, I assumed, did not contact Ford Central, but instead local dealerships only. So I think the person you spoke to was likely referring to to central stock as a local distribution/shipping location and/or rewording dealer stock to make it sound like what you wanted to hear.
