The Ford site has a tool to search the inventory of the five or so dealers closest to a zip that's entered. Does anyone know a way to search inventory by option on a wider scale, i.e. across California?

I believe "Search Extended Inventory" gives you a listing of cars within a short enough distance that a same-day dealer trade is possible.

If you want to cast a broader net, you may be able to work with a dealership directly.

You can always plug in the zip code of the area you are looking for and search the 5 dealers that pop up for that zip.

Get on Google Maps and zoom in on your city/area and search for "ford dealers". It will pop up with all the ford dealers within that area you are zoomed in to. Click on one to get to their website and you can manually check their inventory. It's a little bit more of a hassle, but the Ford search just isn't that great. With Google Maps you can move out as far as you are willing to go. You can check autotrader as well, but not all dealers post on there. The best way to search on there is to make sure you have the 2014 Fiesta selected and pick manual transmission. A couple might be regular Fiestas but overall dealers don't stock too many manual regular Fiestas so they are easy to weed out.

Best way is as above. Select "extended dealer inventory"
