Dealer had no info on the 08 Limited???

[cmoses]

I went in to my first Ford dealer yesterday and talked to a salesman about the 08's. I told him that I had heard about the Limited and was interested because of some options that I wanted (20" rims, power lift gate, new Silver Vapor color). He was aware of the 08's and some of the features I mentioned, but not the Limited model. We went over to his computer and he pulled up the '08 and only saw SE, SEL & SEL+ in both FWD and AWD models, no Limited. He could see the options I was looking for, 20" wheels, power lift gate, Silver Vapor color on his computer, but no Limited model. I thought this was weird because I know some people on the forum have already ordered their Limited's. I also thought seeing the 20" wheels as an option was strange. I thought that the Limited was the only model that could be ordered with 20" wheels and the red/black leather interior. I don't think I want the black and red leather, but I do want the 20" wheels, that is why I have been concentrating on the Limited. He took me over to the manager and asked if he had heard about a Limited model. He said he hadn't but would call and find out what he could.

 

Any thoughts on this? I made it clear to the salesman that I am not in any hurry and plan to wait, so I don't think they were trying to get me "into something today" and clear out their 07 inventory. He also said that all the options could be ordered if I wanted, which maybe a way to go because there are some options on the Limited that I don't need.

After a quick search I found this that has some details on the Limited:

What about the 2008 Edge Ordering Guide. That's been available to Sales and the public for the last month. If he isn't resourceful enough to locate the guide then he doesn't deserve your business in my opinion. The 2008 has been in production for nearly 2 weeks now. I'm sure he's just acting dumb cause he'd much rather sell you something on the lot now. He's either faking or incompentent. Neither is acceptable.
