Some dealers (especially those real small ones) have an "unusual" attitude when it comes to their inventory. There's a certain price that that just HAVE to get, and they'll sit and wait till the right person comes along and pays it. Even if it takes 2-3 years. The truly sad part is this: there are NO rebates on any new '03 Fords. You can actually buy an '04 for less. And there's no getting around the fact that, although new as in never been used, a leftover '03 is still a 2-year-old car.
