I've been searching for a used transit wagon, HR, extended on cars.com and autotrader. It's pretty frustrating. The majority seem to be on the east coast, especially in New Jersey; it's just too far to drive and it's not cheap to ship such a large vehicle either. It seems like a few dealerships have most of the transits but I can't figure out which dealers have the most in the western USA.

I've been poking around dealer websites but there are a lot of Ford dealers to check.

Any pointers?

I noticed a dealer in Sacramento, CA has quite a few per yourcaliforniaford.com but they're not listed on their own website. Towne Ford in RWC also has lots of new ones, but they're not listed on their website either.

Most dealers have either none or only one or two....

Thanks for taking a look. I drove to Folsom this weekend (100mi) but what they claimed was a "high roof" was actually med roof (do I look stupid?). Will verify VIN #s before I drive somewhere again.

I purchased from Newberg Ford in Newberg OR, worked with Dale Sykes.

They do quite a bit of volume, know what a high-roof looks like and are easy to work with, I picked up my vehicle 400 miles from home, and was happy to do so since they had what i wanted, and I heard stories of long waits for customer orders.

I went with Courtesy Ford in Portland Oregon, Larry Hogueisson the fleet manager was very easy and pleasant to work with and gave me the price I asked for without any haggling. Newberg ford would not do the same. I will buy all my future fords from Larry at Courtesy.

I also ordered my Transit from Courtesy Ford about 18 months ago from a fleet guy named John Skofstad. Don't know if he's still there, but it was a very low key transaction and good price. Got it super fast ordering from there too (66 days).

Fitek,

I bought a White /Pewter cloth 2015 High Roof EL with 3.5 L Eco Boost engine. I bought it on 12/31/2015. Needed to buy a truck for tax purposes. I could not find exactly what I wanted at the end of the year. I love the truck, but wanted a cab/chassis with an enclosed service body on it. I have been too busy to even start installing shelving and so on so I can start working out of it. It was amazing to get over 16 mpg while loaded with 6 prefab granite countertops, driving to San Diego from Los Angeles. That Eco Boost engine had more power than my 6.0 V8 in my GMC box truck. The brakes did great too, even in the typical stop and go Los Angeles traffic for 15 miles. I would consider selling it. It has Under 800 miles on it. I have found several cab/chassis service bodies at a local dealership now that March has arrived. Let me know if you are interested? Maybe we can work something out. The truck is like brand new. I live in the San Diego Area. I can send pictures, copy of sticker, etc. I also have a 96 month/100,000 mile / $100 deductible extended Ford Warranty on it that is transferable.

Here is my email: [email protected].

Thanks all!

Newberg looks like they have some cool inventory but priced quite a bit high.

I looked into delivery from out east--- it's not too bad. About 1700 from Missouri for an EL cargo for example. Low 2000s for coast.

Since I'm using it for my business, that's actually beneficial since it comes right off the top rather than having to be depreciated over five/six years. Prices are lower out there since there seems to be more inventory.

I'll have to check out Courtesy...

I just drove by Newberg on my way back from the beach last weekend. Looked like they had a lot of Transits on the lot.
