I've been watching for some time and there hasn't been one available in 200mi of me for less than 28k - absolute base model... And I doubt you can walk out with that. Most are well over $30k and even used 20-40k mi are over $25k. You got lucky.

It wasnt luck, like I said, I pre-ordered, along with almost every other buyer for initial year. If you go to one sitting on a lot, yes, it's upcharged due to scarcity. To my knowledge, there is still a shortage. For shits and giggles, I priced out selling mine, 2 years later and I can sell it for more than I paid. If you really want one without upcharges, pre-order it. Ford doesn't (at least for the first 2 model years) allow upcharging on the ordered models.
